Just used CSS rule as a progressive enhancement on a personal project. CSS rules!

If you're dealing with SVG icons you probably know the pain of overwriting colors. There's a new spec in the making that allows controlling CSS variables from "the outside". And it's shipping in Firefox already! https://drafts.csswg.org...

🚨 They are bringing back #ChatControl 🚨 Metsola doesn't understand that no means no. Discussion is scheduled for Monday, so act now: fightchatcontrol.eu #No2Surveillance #Privacy #Security

The first three fall into Goodharts Law, I doubt the most recent addition to the museum does though. If anyone knows of the original author please let me know so they can be credited.

This is a great example of how to encourage diversity at a conference. Looking forward to it, in just 257 days...

CSS `@layers` have the biggest impact to getting styles under control. I'm such a big fan of this unglamorous power feature. My tip is to put primitive and semantic "tokens" last because they really shouldn't change.

I've been trying to migrate over to @eurosky.social it says "Did already has an active migration in progress. Please wait for it to complete out fail before starting a new migration" should I wait more than 2 weeks? Can I find the status somewhere?

I've been getting various npm "Important Account Notice" phishing emails recently. Stay vigilant people.

Trying not to have fomo for #pixelpioneers today, I'll be able to make @webdevconf.com in October so all's not lost.

The world as we know it may not be ending! Employers are reversing many AI layoffs. "Studies find up to 50% of companies that replaced workers with AI are rehiring or expressing regret". Issues involve institutional knowledge, and disappointing productivity gains. www.techspot.com/news/112707-...

I was in the top 100% of respondents! (I love this inclusivity) Where do you sit? Go take the State of CSS 2026 survey if you have a minute! survey.devographics.com/survey/state...

What an excellent conference we had at #cssday for the last 2 days. Great talks, great people, great organisation, great food, and great coffee.

Absolutely blowing minds! Great presentation. 🤯

@joshtumath.uk #cssday what strategies do you see working best for when there are long words at larger font sizes. E.g. Antidisestablishmentarianism.

A great talk, reminding us the quirky fun, weird web still exists. Sara explores the accessibility approaches and considerations. Do you dare to dive in?

The convention of boarding a plane of the "port" (left) side. I don't know for sure but I expect it's from ye olde days of ships docking on the port side rather than starboard.

Seems like a lot of people are heading to the great Amsterdam for JSNation, React Summit, and @cssday.nl (the best one). Feels like it's going to be like the scene from Anchor Man on the streets.

This is so awesome. It'll be nice to remove the heading level override props. Just need to get it in the other engines.

Looking to get some new domains and hosting for using with Coolify. Any top recommendations from UK/EU folks. Good privacy, ethics, etc would be good. I've been using 123-Reg for a while and thought it might be a good time to reassess options.

Wow, that's an interesting article.

Officially going to @cssday.nl I've followed along remotely for so many years.

We don't use tokens, we burn them.

Today's a good day to finally uninstall Chrome and move to something else. I only had Chrome on my work machine as a non-dev browser. Firefox and Chromium (is that still safe?) it is. Time to try Vivaldi on Linux?

I find it hard to relate to the motivation behind systemic persecution of people. Are some less human than others?

Hot take, LLM coding is faster if you neglect accessibility, performance, and best practices.

I can't recommend this enough. I originally got Josh's CSS for JS developers after seeing the care, and consideration he put into his blog posts. It massively leveled up my day to day work, I go back to refresh periodically. If you're interested in leveling up your skills, this will set you apart.

Please sign this open letter. You don't need to be from the UK. It is important to draw a line and clearly state that moving away from open source isn't the right answer to the incoming wave of security vulnerabilities. We need to ensure best practices, better tooling, and take care of maintainers.

It's a deal! It's a steal, it's the sale of the errr century... invest in this course, invest in yourself. Future you will thank you.

I couldn't have said it better. Trans rights are human rights.

This podcast series has been great. I didn't know I needed this, really practical advice. Thanks to both of you.

I love all the work that e18e.dev do, the most valuable for my coding is the list of module replacements. github.com/es-tooling/m...

Is there a way to use Svelte remote functions in a component in Storybook? Or should I have a wrapper with the remote data call and pass the data via props? I might have answered my question. 🦆

For those using SCSS (Sass) with `@layer`. Extends won't cross the layer so they may not compile as expected. Mixins will, by their nature be a much better fit for this scenario. This might motivate me to write a blog post.

I've been lucky enough to work with Mainmatter on a couple of projects. They're professional, extremely talented, and (as demonstrated in the article) pragmatic. If we need another big lift, we'll certainly be knocking at their door again.

There's got to be an easier/better way to get tokens out of Figma and into SCSS/CSS custom props. Figma API —> JSON —> manual transform —> Style Dictionary —> SCSS & CSS seems like it should be already solved.

If this isn't desperation I don't know what is. Also, if a product needs this sort of training then maybe there's a bigger problem.

@svelte.dev helps us build snappy and accessible websites. Its small learning curve and lightweight size make it a great middle ground between vanilla JS and heavier frameworks. We're giving Svelte $3,380.71 this year to show our gratitude for their work 🌟

This was great, I'll be revising a few of these and referencing them in the future. Thanks to all who helped make this happen, and an extra thank you to all the people that make Svelte(Kit) happen. The best DX, performance, and community. Here's to awaiting new boundaries in 2026. 😉 ❤️

A very sad state of affairs. A 16 year run of the Infinite Monkey Cage with Robin Ince ends in an unexpectedly disappointing way for a BBC science show. Standing up for what is right by standing down.

Svelte question: Is there a better way to use the @component comment to document components for hover goodness? To make them useful we're duplicating the props, can this be done automatically by referencing the props?

Yes! @fubits.dev on Svelte radio. Great choice.

This is a really nice drop. Addressing the "Ecosystem" worries.

What can we take from the lack of responses to this question?

I just had to use Windows, I was reminded of this janky loading animation. Am I the only one that thinks it just looks wrong? I'm amazed it ever got to production.

Absolutely worth it for anyone that creates any sort of web UI.

Watching the @syntax.fm crew battling to recreate the cool text effect of Lando Norris. Me: 30% in - "Yes, Scott! What are Wes, and CJ doing?" Great solution. youtube.com/watch?v=9H34...
