Focus transition
More cleverness by Nikita Vasilyev. The blue glow outline that surrounds focusable elements when they are in their :focus state “flies” (you have to see it) to the next focusable element. So when you tab around, it is very clear where the focus has moved to.

DailyDirt: What’s A Good Lifespan?
There’s an Isaac Asimov quote: “If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster.” But if there really were accurate predictions for a person’s lifespan, how would people change? Maybe medical science is o… Continue reading
