It started as a joke online after some discussions with the design team. Then someone dared me to write a blog post... so I did. 😅 Four HTML/web terms look and sound so similar, they create friction. In this post, I break down The 4 Hs of HTML to clear things up: alvaromontoro.com/blog/68111/t...

The 4 Hs of HTML

As diamonds are defined by the 4 Cs, HTML has 4 Hs that are important and present in every page and, more often than not, get confused by designers and developers. In this article we review the differ...

Ebb, Meet Flow: Intrinsic Design in a Nutshell The future of web design is nearly 30 years old, and still too little understood. https://zeldman.com/2026/08/18/ebb-meet-flow-intrinsic-design-in-a-nutshell/

Ebb, Meet Flow: Intrinsic Design in a Nutshell

In 2020, the gifted makers of websites at Clearleft shared methods to achieve fluid responsive design. “Utopian” web design was (and still is) their half-kidding name for this approach, which Apple’s Jen Simmons, working indendently, called “intrinsic design.” Instead of chasing an ever-changing number of fixed breakpoints, utopian or intrinsic design follows the web’s intrinsic ebbs and flows&hellip;

Can definitely attest to all of the points made in the video. We are simply not meant to consume this much information, sit in one place and glue our eyes to a screen for so long. Digital dementia may not be a medical term yet, but it is real and AI usage left unchecked is only making it worse.
