<p>Marie and I hop on the show to discuss our recently released <a href="https://codepen.io/2022/popular/pens/">Most Hearted of 2022 Pens</a>. We only did the calculations the day before, so this is more of a first reaction than a deep dive. </p> <ul> <li>Congrats to <a href="https://codepen.io/Hyperplexed">Hyperplexed</a> for <a href="https://codepen.io/Hyperplexed/pen/vYpXNJd">#1</a> and a massive year on CodePen. Last one entry on the Top 100, and this year, nine. "Full layouts" like this appeared a number of times, including Aysenur Turk, last year's winner, at #13 with Liquid Transition Effect, and there were two NFT-themed landing pages (<a href="https://codepen.io/dilums/pen/YzrvrBy">1</a>, <a href="https://codepen.io/erkanerdil016/pen/LYdOpKj">2</a>) in the Top 100. </li> <li>A lot of Pens attract attention when they have that "I could use this" feel to them, demonstrated by Ryan Mulligan's <a href="https://codepen.io/hexagoncircle/pen/wvmjomb">Logo Wall</a> at #2! </li> <li>High five to Greensock for taking <a href="https://codepen.io/GreenSock/pen/XWzRraJ">#3</a> with a re-creation of Brian Cross' lovely <a href="https://codepen.io/BrianCross/pen/PoWapLP">Pen</a>. <a href="https://codepen.io/tag/gsap">The tag "gsap"</a> was used a ton in the Top 100.</li> <li><a href="https://codepen.io/jkantner/posts/">Jon Kantner</a> took <a href="https://codepen.io/jkantner/pen/BarvVNa">#4</a> and <em>10 other spots</em> making this the most appearances on the Top 100 list ever, and also took a spot with a Pen made on December 13th! Aaron Iker and Yoav Kadosh both had 4 spots.</li> <li>Perhaps my favorite because of the deep CSS trickery involved was Scott Kellum's <a href="https://codepen.io/scottkellum/pen/gOvXodv" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Apple inspired pride clock</a>. Scott has the oldest account of anyone in the list, over 10 years old! Huge fan of Steve Gardener's <a href="https://codepen.io/ste-vg/pen/PoQgvBK">joke,</a> though as well. </li> <li>11 of the Top 100 were created for <a href="https://codepen.io/challenges">CodePen Challenges</a>.</li> </ul> <h3 id="h-time-jumps">Time Jumps</h3> <h3 id="h-sponsor-notion">Sponsor: <a href="https://notion.com/codepen">Notion</a></h3> <p><a href="https://notion.com/codepen">Notion</a> is an amazing collaborative tool that not only helps organize your company’s information but helps with project management as well.
