Year Review 2023
Another year has flown by, along with a few milestones…
2013–2023
I’ve been yearly reviewing for a decade.
The format has changed in that time, from a long article reviewing both the year and whole web industry, to the more concise summary you read today.
It’s a bit of a commitment, but good to have a final bit of motivation at the end of the year.

Its also good to keep tabs on the changes I have made to this site. This year the web kept releasing new features. So I had to try them!
- Further styles refinement. CSS nesting to augment the current
.Block_Element-Modifier(BEM) approach. Plus CSS:has()selector to style section subheadings. - CodePen embed previews are now preloaded to improve perceived loading time.
- Added an apps page to find all my web apps in one place.
Posted
- Memory Test Milestone as my HTML test passed 50k views on CodePen!
- HTML Tags Memory Test also featured in a few newsletters! There’s a list of sightings I keep updated in Memory Tested.
CodePen
- HTML Memory Test added
patternvalidation to give incorrect guess feedback. - Added ES6-tricity using vanilla JavaScript as part of my X-tricity collection.
- Updated Colordinates 2 to Vue 3 after V2 was deprecated.
Projects
- Brush Swap moved from Moment.js, to the lighter weight Day.js to power the date calculations.
- I built HNue app - an improved version of Hacker News, in Vue 3, with a nicer reading experience.
- Got lots of back issues with Elitricity and Brush Swap wrapped up and likely created some new ones for the new year.
Thanks for reading today and over the last decade!
