Today Codrops has shared a Grid Item Animation Layout with us. The responsive layout has a sidebar and grid items that animate to a larger content area when clicked. In the first demo the content area fills the grid and in the second demo, the whole layout moves to the left while the grid item is expanding. The expanding element is not animating in width and height but instead its original dimensions are already of the expanded size and we simply scale it down initially. By setting classes, we control the transitions of all the elements: the grid item elements’ disappearance and the content elements’ appearance.
The layout is responsive down to mobile using a media query technique that involves setting the breakpoints based on the grid item size and the sidebar. For this we use Sass, which allows us to set these kind of variables easily. The approach we are using here is mainly mobile-first, but we also do some specific restructuring for small screens.

For our messages to communicate across efficiently, we need to create a powerful connection between the user and our medium. Today we are going to explore a new way of presenting stories on the web. And for this Patrik Goethe has created an open-source and free to use JavaScript library called space.js. It’s basically parallax technologies used for narration. Think of it as a bicycle for content presentation.
The library is HTML-driven, which means that you don’t need to write a single line of JavaScript to use it on your site and still have a lot of flexibility. The core of the library is to divide our HTML into frames, or space-frames as we call them her (to not conflict the common class name “frameâ€).
Requirements: HTML5

What CSS can do is changing the layout of web pages, typesetting, adjusting letter spacing and so on. Yet, there was one thing that CSS couldn’t do. That is “To design a character itself.” And that’s why we have CSS SANS. They have designed letters from A to Z by facilitating the various factors of CSS. Each letter is made by one <div> tag.
CSS SANS is the font created by CSS, the programming language for web designing and typesetting.
It is an unprecedented font that reflects history and evolution of the Web, and even changes its own shape.
