Olá, frontend friends! 👋
Hope you are having an excellent week! Today we have a packed newsletter for you with lots of interesting articles, hot CSS content, and good inspiration!
Last time, some of you were confused when we mentioned being on Patreon! You thought we might start offering extra content for paying members. That's not the case at all! Just to clarify: we use Patreon as a way to collect tips to cover our monthly costs, so everything on Codrops stays freely accessible to everyone just like it has been for the past 15 years! 💙 Sorry, if that was confusing!
We're super grateful for those who contribute and support us along the way! 🙏
Have a wonderful Thursday! |
