You’re bored. So you take your phone out, and you click buttons to —

  1. turn it on (a physical button)
  2. open the twitter app (an icon button)
  3. go to the home page (a navigation button)
  4. like and reply to a tweet (an action button)

and the list goes on and on….

I think that you get it by now, we are obsessed with pressing buttons! So let me propose an idea…

Buttons should be more fun! And by “fun”, I really mean —

  • practical,
  • precise,
  • and modern.

But as web developers, we already have to worry about so many other things —

  • accessibility (a11y),
  • web vitals,
  • seo.

So imagine if someone could just take one little hurdle away, so that we can focus on the more important stuff…

I decided that I should be that person. I took on the responsibility of building buttons that are —

  • accessible (uses ARIA attributes),
  • modern in style,
  • responsive (works on desktop and mobile).

And not just that, I also decided to make ONE HUNDRED different styles for these buttons. You are guaranteed to find that one style that just works on your website!

Now let’s break-apart one of my favorite button styles: The Overfold.

It first starts by animating a clip-path from one corner to another.

The second part of the effect involves scrolling text vertically, while clipping it using overflow: hidden.


Did you know? I’m working on 150 CSS Buttons. Follow me to be the first to know when it drops! 🤗
