Making elements work on mobile.
Last Updated: 07/11/2025AKA Why width based breakpoints don’t work anymore. If you’re a lucky fish, your elements will look great across all devices. But there are some situations where even the best designed elements struggle. I’ve put weeks of development into making these elements stable, yet I can get caught out by some responsive gotchas that can...
Video with subtitles
Last Updated: 11/11/2025Most of the controls should be familiar as this is a direct port of the Breakdance video element. However, it’s been cut down a little, as you can’t add subs to Youtube or Vimeo… so this is for locally hosted video. Adding video There are the same controls with fewer options.

Simple Post Filter
Last Updated: 07/11/2025Why another filter? There are a few filter options already but FactWP, WPGridbuilder and others are expensive and can be overkill. The Breakdance filter forces masonry and uses isotope, which loads all posts at once in order to filter them. That can mean a large FCP. I needed something simpler and lighter. SPF works by...
Scroll Morpher
Last Updated: 07/11/2025But Why!? Breakdance has a lot of animations built in… but not everything can be animated… until now. Scroll Morpher is for those rare or special moments when you want to animate a property that isn’t available in Breakdance. Previously you could set dozens of things, we had many dialogues, buttons and fields – too...
Scroll Classy
Last Updated: 07/11/2025Classy is a simple element which toggles a class on another element or itself. You can add elements inside Classy and they can then be re-styled with the class, or target another element. Classy itself doesn’t appear on the page or take any height/width in the DOM.
