Custom CSS and JavaScript examples

Custom CSS and JavaScript are powerful tools for styling your site. Here's an example to display a progress bar at the top of your pages:

Scroll progress

/* CSS */
.progress-bar {
  background: rgb(var(--brand-500));
  height: 5px;
  width: 0%;
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  z-index: 11;
}

// JavaScript
var elm = document.getElementById('progressBar');
if (!elm) {
  elm = document.createElement('div');
  elm.id = 'progressBar';
  elm.classList.add('progress-bar');
  document.body.appendChild(elm);
}
window.addEventListener('scroll', handleScroll);
function handleScroll() {
  var winScroll = document.body.scrollTop || document.documentElement.scrollTop;
  var height =
    document.documentElement.scrollHeight -
    document.documentElement.clientHeight;
  var scrolled = (winScroll / height) * 100;
  document.getElementById('progressBar').style.width = scrolled + '%';
}

The result looks like this:

Hide featured card

Why I can't style the post in Apple Notes?

Personalizing your post's styles in Apple Notes might sounds good at first, but you can't preview the changes in realtime, it's easy to make mistakes for advanced scenarios like JavaScript & CSS. And mixing your note content with style configurations isn't ideal to manage.
