The project features draggable stamps, a WebGL shader-based glass loupe with chromatic aberration and edge distortion for inspecting stamps, and a postcard-style feedback dialog with a genie animation effect. The loupe reconstructs the stamp scene in an offscreen canvas and passes it as a texture to a lens shader. The postcard dialog uses snapDOM to capture the current UI state, animates it via WebGL texture, and is built on an accessible Radix dialog foundation. Details like binder-style tabs, monospaced catalog cards, handwritten annotations, and paper grain textures reinforce the archival album aesthetic throughout. 26 1 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/podium-building-a-website-where-running-becomes-storytelling-axfh2vyo0 "Podium: Building a Website Where Running Becomes Storytelling") Article Codrops · 12w Podium: Building a Website Where Running Becomes Storytelling A case study on building Podium, a production studio portfolio site focused on running and athletic filmmaking. The developers share how they used Next.js, React, GSAP (ScrollTrigger, Flip), Lenis, Three.js/React Three Fiber, and Zustand to create a continuous scroll-driven narrative experience. Key technical highlights include a cursor-reactive grain shader using trail textures with difference blend mode, character-by-character text animations with random stagger, and seamless page transitions where the clicked media element expands into the project hero. The design philosophy centers on restraint, rhythm, and pacing — deliberately slowing the experience to mirror the progressive nature of running. 18 1 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/always-building-always-learning-cyd-stumpel-s-journey-through-the-modern-web-o91cdimd7 "Always Building, Always Learning: Cyd Stumpel’s Journey Through the Modern Web") Article Codrops · 13w Always Building, Always Learning: Cyd Stumpel’s Journey Through the Modern Web Cyd Stumpel, a freelance creative developer and teacher based in Amsterdam, shares her career journey, selected client work, and philosophy on modern web development. She highlights projects using CSS view transitions, GSAP ScrollTrigger, and WordPress, while advocating for accessibility as a creative opportunity. Cyd discusses her preference for CSS-based animations over JavaScript solutions as browser support grows, her use of SvelteKit and Astro, and her thoughts on AI's impact on developers — arguing that fundamentals like progressive enhancement, accessibility, and code quality will become more valuable, not less. 12 [See all Codrops archives](/sources/codrops/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/codrops/best-of/2026/06#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/codrops/best-of/2026/06","name":"Best Codrops Posts — June 2026","description":"The most upvoted Codrops posts from June 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/codrops/best-of/2026/06#items","numberOfItems":3,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/building-an-interactive-digital-stamp-collection-with-shaders-postcards-and-playful-inspection-ctc2j3p8q","name":"Building an Interactive Digital Stamp Collection with Shaders, Postcards, and Playful Inspection"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/podium-building-a-website-where-running-becomes-storytelling-axfh2vyo0","name":"Podium: Building a Website Where Running Becomes Storytelling"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/always-building-always-learning-cyd-stumpel-s-journey-through-the-modern-web-o91cdimd7","name":"Always Building, Always Learning: Cyd Stumpel’s Journey Through the Modern Web"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Codrops","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/codrops"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/codrops/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"June 2026"}]}]} ```
