Did I just get Rick Scrolled?

Damn, I least expected this channel to rickroll me

[@juxtopposed]

idk what you’re talking about.

[@yusrpersonal]

@@juxtopposed lol

[@PizzaDudeThe1st]

Yes u did

[@mikhalpalych]

As a front end dev, i can say this is just jawdropping. I didn't even know about some of listed things

[@rafi-leigh]

Same!

[@tastetherainbow4600]

oops i accidentally learned something.

[@rahiqueosman]

Im amazed how much information this small video has without being boring. Basically you did a crash course on modern web design. loved it

[@TheRyDesigns]

The way you present web design in such a simple format hits my designer brain in all the right spots, these videos rock! keep creating awesome stuff! thank you!

[@juxtopposed]

thank youuu!

[@advaitbhore]

OH MY GODDD... I've been searching that linear gradient effect for AGES, AGES I tell you !! and I found it in this video while randomly scrolling through youtube. I feel so relieved, but so frustrated at my self for not searching the right place at right time... LIFESAVER. ❤❤

[@YosefReborn]

It is also cool when instead of the blur fading the blur just getting less blurrier

[@greatape2791]

Only Juxtopposed can make the concept of blurring so clear, another banger in the books

[@RandomWebDev]

The level 5 clip path section is actually so awesome!

[@SashenMe]

Simply amazing how you explained the math behind blur.

[@orest58008]

I wish there was an option to turn off blur globally in browsers, it eats so much resources for nothing

[@shivamnagi]

It's wild to imagine the amount of time she spends animating all of this in After Effects

[@pbjellysand]

I was kinda expecting this to be blurring like censoring stuff in quirky ways but still I was not dissapointed, great video :)

[@h7kz]

At this point backend doesn't seem that bad

[@atmosph]

i love how you can express a lot of information in such a pleasant way! thank you SOOOOOOOOO much for all your efforts!

[@thepaleone2369]

Gonna be honest, I thought the video was about "burning things in quirky ways" and I thought I was clicking on someone's villain origin story

[@Crinlask]

8. Orphanages

[@snappycapybara]

this was such a pleasure to watch! I mainly do backend dev but I've been digging more into frontend and design, and this is by far the channel I like the most :)

[@smansab59]

Your content is so simple, yet presented dynamically. I watched a whole a*s video about S-tier blurring effects in the web-designing while being a Mechanical Engineer. And I didn't even skip a second or felt lost at any point. ❤🙌🏼

[@0r94n1z3r]

Wow! Just WOW! Maybe the best simple lecture/guide i've ever seen!

[@grahamothy424]

this was the most enjoyable video that i have been craving to understand and visualize the concepts of for a very long time, you did a perfect job explaining every level, every concept, every thing. please keep doing what you are doing! :D

[@OfficalRowen]

I don't dabble in website building or code but I thoroughly enjoyed this video still. The way you explained things as well as the visuals (especially the cat memes :] ) was just all around super engaging

[@triceratops3]

hearing about the history of blurring things really makes me grateful we have the technology to be able to blur an image and adjust it to how we want

[@cedigasser]

This is amazing! So much good information presented in such an entertaining format.

[@110110010]

This is amazingly comprehensive for a 9 minute video. You've shown many interesting concepts I can't wait to jump in to and try them all!

[@BadWolfNeron]

You're awesome at teaching the history and importance behind these small concepts/techniques and show the magnitude of the impact mastering them can have on your creations. Thanks! ♥

[@juxtopposed]

omg glad to hear that ✨

[@Iggy2004]

this is so helpful, thank you so much, also it's really calming to listen to your voice

[@gojosensei7081]

The flow your videos have, Love it!!!!

[@Goddeh1]

Should've gone to Specsavers before becoming a web designer.. Jokes aside, thanks for this clean walkthrough of effects like this, they're highly motivational! 🙌

[@jaxondabac8808]

watching this video at 240p gives it a whole new meaning

[@timothychinye6008]

Make more web design videos like this and the dark mode one, it's actually extremely useful. Like these are often things I do anyways, but it's nice to like.. get it down on paper, so I'm not just designing my sites of a whim

[@mr.guydvir]

Your content is super top notch. It's awesome to see your audience growing! It makes me feel like things work the way they should on KZbin 😊

[@LightTheMars]

Great resource! Just as a note though, CSS blur is computationally expensive, and you shouldn't use it in situations where the blurred content animates. For example, when using backdrop-blur on one element and having the backdrop move, it has to recalculate the blur every frame. Make sure to test on low-end devices when you have to do that!

[@jeffreyrosenkrantz]

This video is amazing. Never have I giggled as much in a code tutorial. Very well explained

[@mistthemoth7026]

i love your videos so much, they are so informative while still being very entertaining :)) thank you for uploading !

[@thedctr]

wow, first ever person who made web-design intresting for me, thank you!

[@lukasandersson]

It's amazing how you always manage to blow our minds!!

[@tcepsa]

This was great and has inspired me to resume my journey learning about CSS. I'm currently still struggling with positioning and layout, but I'm really looking forward to spending more time on things like this!!!

[@TressaDanvers]

just found ur channel. i'm genuinely floored this is so well made.

[@FeeshUnofficial]

This is an insanely good video

[@myferonyoutube]

I've been watching your videos for a while, I'm now subscribed, thanks for such great content.

[@mrrjb9781]

this video is amazing, I don't even know a thing about web design and I found it extemely entertaining

[@someonequinof]

that surface blur on patrick bateman is nightmare fuel man

[@wihhdalp3470]

Amazing vid, really liked ALL of it (especially the memes)

[@carlosdanielcosta2987]

I'm nerding about blur for 4 straight weeks, and know this, I'd like to thank the algorithm and you for this amazing video.

[@andreic048]

You have a nice voice and you explain things very well. Good job!

[@NiceHyper01]

This was such a good video. Keep up the great work!

[@mikey-qo8sh]

amazing editing as always, great content

[@MrYllie]

No way I learned this much in

[@nitroflap]

Yet another useful design video. Good stuff!

[@bholmesdev]

TIL about gradient blurs. EXACTLY what I needed for a not-ugly blurred navbar 🙏

[@arda5157]

I really like your contents. they are so educational and the best part of it, as others have said, they are never boring

[@juxtopposed]

happy to hear that!

[@rach3897]

I'm flabbergasted!! this is such precious gold content!! instant subscribe!

[@AlexFabrique]

Great redesign, wonderful presentation, both clear and entertaining. Lovely! Obviously I wished IMDB would do that, but in the meantime I had a great time watching your video and I might take this format as an inspiration for a future UI/UX redesign! Keep up with the good work :)

[@th3_sull1van]

I LOVE the Acerola editing style, great video!

[@AruminDes]

IKR!!!

[@ahmedsaed26]

The quality of the video is stunning ❤❤

[@NomedoLeo]

Finally someone with the love of blur!!! I thought I was alone. It’s so satisfying

[@jaythecoderx4623]

Wow the quality of this video is insane. I'm definitely going to use this in some of my projects in the future

[@igrb]

Absolute banger as always

[@jojomondag]

You are just the best! Thanks!

[@ekeminh5853]

I just gone through the first 3 mins but this already blown my mind 🤯🤯

[@mrschoko565]

I love the blur from apple it looks so good I get the illusion that it’s actually not focused and it looks really good

[@DominicF96]

The clip-path one is amazing, I'll use that for sure 🔥

[@berni8k]

This is one of the reasons Chrome eats so much RAM and other resources.

[@brunoggdev6305]

When it comes to design content, u're the absolute best imo

[@juxtopposed]

omg THANKS

[@freeeeplay]

Also for supporting older browsers, you could also always use css @supports to do something else if blur isn't supported

[@Tenelia]

Man, I wrote a whole paper on this back in 2009 for the Apple ecosystem. It was already amazing what could be accomplished on ancient hardware back then, but reviewing this in 2024 is invigorating.

[@user-gk9ut9qc1o]

Thanks , this is a wonderful video, I needed some inspiration :)

[@DeonGaming]

Getting rickrolled on Saturday morning is not something I've expected. The video has energy and is generally entertaining even for people who already knew the content. Thank you.

[@ahmadrufai8891]

Didn't know there is so much Blur can do, you really did a great job.

[@remitiras]

I love how when you look at this video from the mobile app and not on fullscreen, there's a blur effect under the video where the title is, I'm the color of the current frame of the video.

[@wlockuz4467]

As a dev this actually makes me excited about design. Usually the designs I deal with are the manifestation of marketing politics lol

[@Aratolotl]

The UI tutorial I didn't know I need!

[@thisrandomdude_]

Awesome video, and I absolutely love the way you narrate!! Your voice is a joy to listen to bwahahahahah

[@marcusdelictus]

this was so facinating

[@whmsft]

Pretty informative vid... (also, the voice is really, REALLY sweet)

[@eboatwright_]

Love this channel!

[@Fielith]

I LOVE WHEN KZbin RECOMMEND A GOOD CHANNEL

[@nemegto]

I thank the KZbin algorithm for showing me your channel. I'm learning about UX without being bored. You could make a whole course out of these videos 😭

[@davidcunha7615]

Your content is gold :)

[@MatthewWright001]

Wonderful video! Super organized and entertaining :-)

[@AlFasGD]

Most of the web has not surpassed the level 3 yet, most front end devs have no idea about a lot of that stuff and it goes to show the unexplored potential the web has

[@BfBcemat]

Wat

[@OkAnup]

Your voice is so soothing 😊

[@E_T_31]

This vid is definitely in some need of mooore cat picks - keep up the good work! :)

[@frub]

just found ur channel, love it.

[@3B0.]

DAMN THAT'S SO GOOD AND SMART ✨✨💀

[@ScrollsoftheNebulaicWhispers]

I love you 🙈 Thanks for your content, as always. You are the best.

[@tanksfornothin]

these videos are disgustingly good

[@AM-zo3mk]

I've discovered your channel on accident and it's the best accident that's ever happened to me. You've earned a new subscriber! 💖 Also, I have a video idea...could you maybe do a video redesigning KZbin or Facebook? 👀

[@VerySadBatman]

You're incredible!

[@finn3721]

super cool topic!

[@dcenhancements]

Made me subscribe, I really like your style of videos kepp it up, a very interesting video!❤😊

[@giraty50]

That chaotic button is really beautiful

[@aquss33]

such a great video wow

[@nikbivation]

wow, thank you for this!

[@KaratekStuff]

Excited!

[@arijitRC7]

As a backend developer and good UI admirer this is like god level to me.

[@SquirrelTheorist]

3:17 while it looks cool the first time seeing it, I really wish less websites used this method. It's really Apple-y, for the lack of a better description, and it lacks that professional edge that I like about more clean-cut displays. Excellent blur tutorial though, I absolutely love this style of teaching.

[@mr_flor]

amazing vid! never new blur is so deep (btw, i'll recognise this heart shape anywhere, you can't use something from undertale and not expect someone to say something😈)

[@jacksonsherbertgaming4437]

now that you show blur i see it everywhere on my web page thats so funky

[@daniel176]

i never understand blur so much, this video would help me. thx
