#10 on the Top Pens of 2025 is Jhey's Dynamic Toggles. These are semantic radio inputs and labels, with most of the design and interactivity in CSS. Little bonus JavaScript View Transition in use when the inputs change to morph those sizes and positions.

Made a lil' library:
codepen.github.io/slideVars/

Automatically detects CSS custom properties on the :root/html and gives you controls for adjusting them. (But it's also as configurable as you want it to be.)

Beyond the Mouse: Animating with Mobile Accelerometers

If you want to make mobile interfaces feel more alive, I would love for you to take a look.

Beyond the Mouse: Animating with Mobile Accelerometers
Mousing over an element and watching it tilt in 3D space is a beautiful and compelling effect. Let's bring it to mobile and use the phone itself rather than a cursor.

Maybe try a ‘Multi-Function Button’ instead.
