Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about the site, services, and how information is handled.

Do modules use simple attributes for setup?

Yes, where applicable. For example, Read Time lets you set the container to analyze via the wt-readtime-element attribute (e.g., article)

Do you work on any open-source tools?

Yes, WebTricks, a versatile JavaScript library that offers multiple functionalities for web projects, originally developed for Webflow and extended for any web project. You’ll find the repo and demos on the WebTricks page. Additional from this I have the Stardew Valley Progress Tracker, which is a perfection tracker for the Stardew Valley Game and a JSON to Typescript tool that is on the works.

Do you work with Webflow?

Yes. I’m a certified Webflow developer and regularly build/extend Webflow sites.

How can I get in touch?

Use the social links on the home page (GitHub, LinkedIn, etc.) or fill in the contact form on the site.

How do I include a module on my site?

Each module page shows the CDN <script> to drop in your document (typically in <head>), then any optional attributes/config documented on that page.

Is WebTricks only for Webflow?

No. While several modules target Webflow, many features are platform-agnostic so you can use them across different stacks.

Is there a showcase or community place to follow along?

Yes, there’s a Webflow showcase entry and a subreddit linked from the WebTricks page for updates and community stuff.

What is WebTricks?

A vanilla JS library with modules you can plug into web projects, originally focused on Webflow functionalities first. Plus links to GitHub and CodePen to try features like Count Up, Tooltips, cookie policies, cms filtering, social sharing links and buttons, and Hide Container for Webflow.

What kind of work do you do?

I design and build end-to-end software solutions, from APIs, database structure planning and software architecture to front-end, mobile and desktop apps. I also do blog posts for best practices, tutorials and tech findings.

What modules are available right now?

Current feature pages include Filtering, copy to clipboard, social links, Tooltip, Marquee, Count Up, Read Time, Tabs Slider, Hide Container, and Mirror Click among others. Each page includes a CDN snippet, quick docs, and an example.

Grab the library on GitHub, try modules on CodePen, and join the subreddit, all linked right on the WebTricks page.

Where can I read your articles?

Visit the Blog page for tutorials, deep dives, and personal takes on building software. Additionally I post my articles on Dev.to and Medium, so feel free to follow me there, the links to those pages are on my homepage.

Where can I see your recent projects?

Head to the Projects page to explore case studies and live links.

Which modules are Webflow-specific?

Some modules are built specifically for Webflow workflows (e.g., CMS Filters, Tabs Slider, Hide Container, Mirror Click). Others are generic. Check each feature page for details.

Who am I?

I’m a full-stack developer with 11+ years of experience, based in Vancouver, BC. On this site I share my work, tools, and ideas around building useful software.

Who maintains WebTricks?

WebTricks is created and maintained by Jorge Cortez (The Code Raccoons), though it was created as an open-source project to empower the community to be able to share modules that can be useful in multiple ways.
