    Baseline Layered UI Patterns: <dialog> and popover

    Elements and windows that pop up on the screen are one of the most common patterns on the web. With use cases spanning from alerts and brief forms requesting data, to the now ubiquitous cookie settings prompt, these layered UI patterns are used frequently by developers.

OddBird became an extension of our team bringing UX, frontend, and backend brilliance to take MetaDeploy from an idea into a production application.

OddBird is a company I recommend without reservation. They are among the best in the world at front end, design systems, and w3c standards.

Other developers build exactly what you say, or they don’t understand, and develop the wrong thing. OddBird always thinks about the project goals. I defer to the team expertise now, which makes a better result.

Miriam is a fantastic speaker, with wonderful teaching skills, and highly praised by attendees of the conference and the workshop alike.

OddBird was the wise investment. We could have selected a cheaper avenue for this work – we would have paid for it manifold in the long run.

Since OddBird thinks about handoff from the beginning, maintenance has been super easy. For example, 100% unit test coverage was a given. I never had to ask for it.

Hi, I’m Miriam

I co-founded OddBird with my brothers in 2008 as a full-stack, boutique agency to provide custom web application design & development, along with refactors for integrated design systems, accessibility, performance, and long-term sustainability.

Since then OddBird has become an industry leader – from our work on Django, Sass, and Susy, to the CSS Working Group, Mozilla Developer Channel, Object Oriented UX, and in-depth conference talks on front-end architecture, workflow, component libraries, testing, and documentation.

We’d love to help you thoughtfully serve people with technology.
