Great demos, and awesome CSS3 buttons

Very cool stuff... the transitions bother me a little. I'm of a notion that animation should be handled by js while (cross-browser) design should be strictly in the css. Fantastic stuff to use for personal projects, tho, if you really really want to avoid js at all costs.

arrows (like for status bar) created with CSS only

Reading the compressed js in cms getting you down? Use this handy tool to decompress the code, and save yourself some major headaches. press ctrl+enter (actual ctrl, not ⌘) to decompress the code. I spent too long looking for a button that didn't exist. #uiproblem

This is a Chrome extension that I find really useful. It adds a button to your browser bar, and when you click, it displays a list of popular viewport sizes. I like that it's a quick way to check your work.

Awesome! A few of us interns were just talking about this the other day!!

competitive analysis article about using the hamburger icon as the menu button - talks about how to avoid losing it in the header (good visual design advice)

Great article advocating for responsive web design. "Again, it's true that responsive design and device-specific experiences can offer us a way around many of these problems. If we can tune the size of a button to a particular environment, then we don't have to accept blunt, across-the-board treatment. But the number of devices we have to support will only increase, and customizing for every possible scenario could quickly become unreasonable. Even if we are able to provide perfectly tailored design at the execution level, there is still value in thinking about tempered, universally accessible design at the conceptual level. Additionally, just because we can tailor design to particular experiences doesn't mean that users will not carry expectations over from one experience to another. The boundaries might blur whether we like it or not."

Hm... wonder why they put the "buy" "share" "add" buttons at different corners of the product picture. It bugs me a little...

If you missed it, Monday's post explored 6 ways to reduce friction in the prove-you-are-human process. Thanks to our wonderful readers, we have 3 more CAPTCHA alternatives to cover: animated NuCaptcha, gamified Vouchsafe and a tip from "Anton" that we could describe as a "honeypot button."
