I'll be hanging out with the folks of FEDSA tomorrow at 8:30am Pacific, chatting all about complexity in frontend development.
Can I give a talk about complexity without immediately putting everyone to sleep? There's only one way to find out.
Hope to see you there!

I've been playing with the Popover + Anchor Position APIs to create these follow-the-cursor tooltips you often see in video games.
There's very little JS involved, and you get all of the nice auto-positioning goodness for free!
Blog post coming soon, here's a Codepen 👇
