Content I follow

The blogs, YouTube channels, and platforms I keep going back to for web development.

This is what I read and watch to stay on top of web development. I've been building this list for a while and update it when something sticks.

Blogs

lydiahallie.com/

Been following her for years. Her JavaScript visualizations are unlike anything else. She makes concepts that took ages to click feel obvious.

debbie.codes/

Nuxt, open source, and community. Very generous about sharing what she learns as she goes.

addyosmani.com/blog/

My go-to for web performance. His JavaScript patterns book is always nearby.

welearncode.com/recent-posts

Tutorials that don't feel like tutorials. A lot of personality.

talks.jensimmons.com/

A true pioneer in CSS layout. Been following her work for years.

a11ywithlindsey.com/

Accessibility explained in a practical, no-nonsense way.

kittygiraudel.com/

CSS and accessibility with real rigor. One of the most honest technical blogs I know.

moderncss.dev/

A reliable reference for modern CSS. Stephanie Eckles is really good at explaining things clearly.

laurakalbag.com/posts/

Inclusive design and privacy. Makes me think past the code.

joshwcomeau.com/

Interactive tutorials that actually make things click. His CSS content is some of the best I've seen.

nerdy.dev/

Adam Argyle, from the Chrome team. CSS experiments that show how far the language has come.

lea.verou.me/

CSS, web standards, research. Always something surprising here.

una.im/blog/

CSS and design advocate at Google. Straight talk on the state of the web platform.

rachelandrew.co.uk/archives/

CSS Grid and web standards from the source. She was key to how I learned to think about layouts.

dawntraoz.com/

Vue, Nuxt, and the Spanish-speaking developer community. Always something useful here.

YouTube Channels

@AliSpittelDev

Same Ali from welearncode, with shorter videos.

@TheCoderCoder

Clear, well-produced frontend tutorials.

@Computerphile

Computer science with depth and humor. Not frontend, but it opens your mind.

@foobar_codes

Short videos on code with a focus on diversity in tech.

@giftegwuenu

Gift Egwuenu, developer advocate. A lot on frontend and community.

@ChromeDevs

Everything new on the web platform, straight from the Chrome team.

@LeonardoGalante

Frontend and Vue content from an Argentine dev.

@MozillaDeveloper

Web standards from Mozilla. Good archive of talks.

@layoutland

Jen Simmons' CSS layout channel. A classic.

@numberphile

Maths with humor. Nothing to do with work, I just like it.

@UnaKravets

Una's channel. More visual than the blog, lots of CSS demos and live coding.

@WesBos

Complete, well-produced courses. A good entry point for new topics.

@PREBETA

Latin tech community.

Twitch

acodearconhugo

Hugo streams live coding in Spanish. Very approachable.

ianaya89

Ignacio Anaya, Argentine dev. Vue and frontend live.

goncypozzo

Gonzalo Pozzo, Argentine dev. Really good live coding streams.

Platforms

css-tricks.com/

The archive is still really valuable even if the site is less active than it used to be.

smashingmagazine.com/

Long, well-thought-out articles on frontend, design, and UX.

developer.mozilla.org/en-US/

The reference. Always my first stop when I need to actually understand something.
