10 Lines or Fewer: A CSS Design Challenge
I'm constantly thinking about ways to make something elegant, thoughtful, and simple using a minimal amount of code. I decided to set up a Tumblr page to help gather ideas. The goal is to add 10 lines (or fewer) of CSS to a few lines of HTML, and make something unique.
Let me know what you think, and if you have a few minutes go ahead and submit something.
- joebadmo 16y agoI would have gone with "Ten Lines or Fewer," but it's a neat design constraint. Some cool examples, too.
- tehdik 16y agoOh wow you're right. "Less" is grammatically incorrect but it has a nice ring to it.
- joebadmo 16y agoThe alliteration is nice, but to me it really sticks out as an error. It's a pretty common one, though, so I wouldn't feel too bad about it. I don't know if it's even a commonly recognized enough error to warrant changing, but you should take into consideration that at least some people will notice. It's that little bit of polish sometimes...
- tehdik 16y agoFixed! Less milk. Fewer crayons. (1st grade lesson)
- pbhjpbhj 16y agoI'd have stuck with less. "10 lines or less" is vernacular for sure, but sounds far better to my ear. Fewer comes over a bit highfalutin.
