Just a short one. I want to share a simple command to display nicer git log in the terminal. git log has --pretty=format option built-in, we are just going to pass formatting to it. git log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' And it...

I started leading teams relatively early in my career. Mentoring and leading younger developers is something I tremendously enjoy. But there is one thing I really miss about being a "regular" developer. And that is - being able to put my headphones, play some rock 'n roll, and code for a couple of h...

Most JavaScript developers used jQuery's .slideUp() and .slideDown() methods, and got used to them. As component based frameworks usually do not include such functionality, the first logic choice is to turn to CSS. But alas, CSS transitions do not work with height: auto. (Transitions can do a tween ...

In this post you can find seven talks I really liked in no particular order, most of them development related. I'll explain why I liked them, and why I should recommend watching every single one of them. Every talks is embedded, but link to a website or youtube is included as well. Please comment wi...

Update March 2019 # Check this fix too. It works really well in most cases. If you ever used vh units and tested your work on mobile Chrome (iOS and Android), you probably were annoyed by page jumping when you scroll. As you probably know vh units are based on the window height. When you scroll, Chr...

May 2018 - Updated to match React Router v4 API. September 2019 - Updated to match React Router v5 API, added React Create App part. If you ever had to deploy React Router app to the subfolder on the server, you know what the problem is. Routes will get messed up once you upload it to the server. He...

We prepared another tech meetup, this time with four presentations. There will be a break after the second one. This should be the biggest one so far, with two guest speakers. It will happen on February the 4th, at Belgrade Youth Centre. Hope to see you there! Visit Facebook event or meetup.com page...

Just something to cheer you up for the holidays :) I got this idea while I was sick in bed, and had nothing smarter to do. Pure CSS, no JavaScript at all. Hope you like it, I may add some more details. Check the code on codepen. Happy new year!

2016 was quite a ride. I just want to write a couple of random things, to close this year with one last post. Work & Co # Big news here, my company became a part of Work & Co. We're really excited about that, and I'm looking forward to the great stuff we are going to build. Our collaboration goes ba...

Currently, I'm working on a relatively small pet project. While setting it up, I decided to extract a webpack boilerplate from it. As whole JS community is moving really fast, I found very hard to set everything up using Webpack 1.x. One package would ask to update the other, that would break the th...

Part three - also the last part # Other parts: Part 1 - Webpack, Babel, React, Router, ESLint Part 2 - SASS, more ES6 goodness (Static props, decorators, deconstruction...) Part 3 - Where to go from here Where to go from here # I really wanted to continue this series, but unfortunately whole JavaScr...

Update November 2017 # Unfortunately, I'm not maintaining this repo anymore. Still, there are couple of really useful links on it. People are making awesome lists on the Git these days. I'm spamming our company's slack dev channel, and someone suggested to put all of those links in one place. So I c...

After the recent Apple keynote, it seems that community is not happy with the new MacBook Pro. Well, I'm not either. As for iPhone/iPad, those are toys, I could use pretty much any other modern smartphone/tablet. But MBP is my working horse, and I was always saying that it doesn't matter how much it...

Please note that I'm not using Jekyll anymore, so this post might be outdated.Update, November 2017 # I don't use this setup anymore, it might be outdated, proceed with caution. Original post # As I already mentioned, GitHub pages do not work with the Jekyll plugins. It is a security measure. So I r...

New design Category pages Comments Search Reading time Share buttons New design # My friend Nikola, from MIDA digit...

Before modern frameworks, I always used jQuery's scrollTo method. At some point, not every project included jQuery, so I wrote simple function to animate window scroll. I have kept copying that function from project to project. Finally I took some time, cleaned it up and published it on the npm (thi...

We've all been there - trying to get right font sizes from PhotoShop to CSS. Designers usually work with points, which are used in the print, but not common on the web. They also use term tracking a lot, which is actually only a letter spacing with different units. You can recalculate everything by ...

Always try to use <button> when element is clickable, but it is not a link. Avoid <a>, <span>, <div> and other elements. Note that display: flex works differently on buttons in different browsers, but we have an easy fix for that. Why? # You will get multiple benefits - user can "tab" to it, and to ...

I decided to move my CSS playground to the CodePen, and this is the first one I made. Idea came to me while I was riding on a bus, and I might use it on this blog, as a part of it's redesign. This is CSS only animation (I used JS to create 50 elements though). And you can see the usage of SASS rando...

Part two # Update: Part two is pretty much done. Part three will cover redux and production builds. Other parts: Part 1 - Webpack, Babel, React, Router, ESLint Part 2 - SASS, More ES6 goodness (Static props, decorators, deconstruction...) Part 3 - Where to go from here Adding SASS # We will use SASS...

Update, October 2017 # I just released updated tutorial right here. So feel free to skip this one, and read a new one. It uses updated tools, and hopefully it will grow into a new series of webpack/react posts. Update, March 2017 # Webpack 2 is out, so this post is slowly becoming outdated. For webp...

Recently I lost my iPhone headphones. I didn't care much, as they were almost three years old, and I had a brand new ones. But today, while getting ready for work, I found them in the pocket of the pants I washed about week ago. I was sure they wouldn't work, but guess what? They do! Probably the fa...

Another tech meetup is behind us, even more people came this time. As promised, we will keep them coming more often. Miloš spoke first about learning in tech, and keeping up with it. My talk was about SPAs, and how hard they can be. We hope that meetups like this will help to build and strengthen th...

For a current project I'm on, we needed both circular timer, and progress bar. Again, I wasn't able to find small library to do that. But I found awesome answer on Stack Overflow, decided SVG is way to go, and wrote Sektor. Sektor is a plain JavaScript library that draws circle sector (or an arc). O...

If you ever had to fix element on scroll, you probably had an issue on iOS Safari (and other mobile devices). Element will usually flicker, and disappear until scrolling has stopped completely. Just force GPU acceleration by adding transform: translate3d(0,0,0); to your element. You will have someth...

Atom Babel plugin doesn't highlight variables in ES6 (ES2015) template strings. You'll need to add this snippet to your Atom's style.less atom-text-editor::shadow .variable.js { color: #F8F8F2; } In general, you can just inspect stuff in Atom, find out what classes element are using, and then style ...

I'm a big fan of Sublime Text editor, which I was using for years now. Minimal, fast, reliable. But there is one big problem with it. Only one man is working on it's development and community really slowed down. JavaScript ecosystem is going forward at incredible speed, and I'm not sure if Sublime w...

Two days ago, we held the second Tech Meetup. There were two speakers including myself, and Nemanja Nićiforović, our CEO. Nemanja spoke How to Freelance, and I covered Intro to React. Grab slides: How To Freelance Intro To React We are very thankful to our friends at Zaokret where meetup took place....

This is the one of my most popular repos. Once client asked for inline video that works on iPhone too. As Apple doesn't allow that (all videos are full screen in native player, and autoplay is not supported),. There was no easy solution, so this player was born. It uses HTML video and canvas. Script...

This simple bash command finds all of the files matching *~ recursively, executes rm on them and prints out which files are affected. You can replace file matching pattern, and command you want to execute. find ./ -name '*~' -exec rm '{}' ';' -print
