Followed up my post on Grid with a review of grid-template-areas. Short, sweet, and hopefully helpful 🤗 webkit.org/blog/17620/g...

What are everyone's thoughts on WebKit's `<input type=checkbox switch>` control? Is it something you want other browsers to ship?

There's a new #CSS Working Group poll to get feedback on different names for the infamous 'Pinterest' layout. - Since it uses many of the grid-* properties, `grid` will be in the name somewhere - We don't use metaphors in CSS names, so `masonry` is not listed here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Got thoughts about Web Push? So many web developers talked about it for years… and now I hear nothing. Are you using Web Push? Have you learned about Declarative Web Push?

Interop 2025 is looking good!

just added the MEGA TERMINAL CHEAT SHEET from "The Secret Rules of the Terminal" to our list of posters at wizardzines.com#posters

So happy to be in a relationship where I jokingly complained about not getting hit on in Florence, and my husband responded in a genuinely empathetic, “Yea babe, that sucks” 😂😂😂

Largest Contentful Paint (from Core Web Vitals) is now available in Safari Technology Preview. webkit.org/blog/17504/r...

My toddler has taken to referring to me and her father as "little boy". Her: Can you get me an apple please little boyyyyyyyyy? I ... don't know how to feel about this.

Was surprised to see that, even though CSS Grid isn't a new feature, it's still high on the list of things devs find confusing, so wrote a post about it. I focus on a new mental model I think is helpful. Let me know what you think! webkit.org/blog/17474/c...

I just learned web fonts have been supported for Initial Letter since Safari 18.4+. (Still prefixed, but before you couldn’t use a web font.) Yay!!! Have you used initial letter in CSS? Do you want to?

Anchor Positioning has a way to declare where the item appears. Use the `position-area` property with pre-named areas! @saron.bsky.social realized maybe some of the names are confusing. Read more & help decide — should the names be changed? webkit.org/blog/17417/p... What do you think??

A new one for CSS-TRICKS!!!

Wrote up a short post on a new position-area value we're considering, and would love to hear your thoughts on it. Which option do you prefer? webkit.org/blog/17417/p...

Raising a human is easily the most confusing, challenging, and interesting project I’ve ever taken on. And it lasts at least 18 years! 😅

This year, the State of JS survey is coming early! Go take it now! survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

Masonry updates and open issues. We're actively looking for web developer feedback on two key things we're deciding on and we'd love to hear from you. Comment, file an issue, or just post below 👇🏾 www.w3.org/blog/CSS/202...

I remember when I was in the depths of my depression, I couldn't wait to go to sleep so the pain could go away and the day would be over. These days, I hate going to bed because I want the day to keep going. So grateful for the progress I've made in my mental health. What a journey.

Finally joined mastodon! See you there? front-end.social/@saron

After a million years of playing basketball and working out, I'm still shocked at how much better I feel and how much energy I have after exercising.

Man, there is so much to do around the house before bed. Time for an audiobook!

*toddler looking distant and kinda sad* Me: You ok? Toddler: Yea Me: What do you need? Toddler: I need Starbucks 😂😂😂

Just vented to ChatGPT about this and it explained the disconnect I'm experiencing so well: "The key gap is this: for you, education = survival + freedom. For them (other parents), education = inevitable, so let’s focus on the “softer” stuff." I think that's it.

This is a @robfrelow.bsky.social appreciation post. I can't believe how lucky I got finding my husband on match.com sixteen years ago in the first week I started online dating. Man did I hit the jackpot on that one. So grateful to be on this journey with you ❤️

One of the things that surprised me most about being a parent is how little other parents care about education and learning, especially at the toddler age. They talk a ton about emotional regulation and social skills, but I never hear anyone mention learning, education, or development milestones.

Wrote a little thing about subgrid that I hope you find helpful. Short and sweet, with nice, clean code 🥰 webkit.org/blog/17339/s...

Have you tried Safari 26.0? What do you think? 👀

CSS `random()` just landed in Safari Technology Preview. We are the first browser to implement! “There are ongoing discussions in the CSS Working Group about the specification, and several open issues remain about whether this approach best serves developers.” webkit.org/blog/17285/r...

Safari 26 is here!!! Anchor Positioning, Scroll-driven animations, High Dynamic Range images, the new HTML <model> element, the all-new Digital Credentials API, SVG icon support, WebGPU, WebKit in SwiftUI, every site can be a web app on iOS and iPadOS, and much more. webkit.org/blog/17333/w...

Was reading the latest State of CSS survey results and saw that one of the features people were confused about was subgrid, so wrote a post about it. Let me know if it helps clear things up ❤️ webkit.org/blog/17339/s...

Nothing like having your adventurous, sight seeing mom visit to remind you how lame the south Bay is 😅 There is nothing for adults in San Jose lol

If you find CSS grid confusing or hard to use, what are your pain points? What's throwing you off?

I’m about to get new toys for Jordan and I’m so excited. Pretty sure I enjoy her toys more than she does 😂

Made waffles from scratch for the first time and they were the worst waffles I’ve ever had 😭 they were so dense. Think I didn’t put nekuvg baking powder 😩

Just finished my 50th book this year! It was mostly audiobooks, but still really proud of myself! 🥰

Just asked AI to suggest some educational toys that would be great for my toddler's development and it recommended ... firefighter hats 😂 According to it, it checks all the developmental boxes! lol

I put up a quiz on YouTube earlier today... so far there are 1000 people who've taken it, and 7% have selected the correct answer! The crazy part is, it's asking about what `flex: 1` does, which is so commonly used. Curious? You can take it here: www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx-hp...

Most days, having just one kid feels super easy and everything is going great, but then there are days when things just feel so overwhelming. So glad to have a competent coparent to share the load, esp. on those tougher days.

My daughter comes home soon, I’m so excited to see her! 🥰

If you could only have one, which would it be? 💚 pho ❤️ ramen 📅 Ends: September 4, 2025, 5:11 PM UTC 📊 Show results

Wow there are 22 new features in today’s Safari Technology Preview 277! Including `field-sizing`, `scrollbar-color`, `position-visibility`, more of Anchor Positioning, `command` and `commandfor` attributes on buttons, `scrollend` event, Navigation API… and more: webkit.org/blog/17324/r...

Took a midday break to play a little one-on-one with the hubby and now I'm back at work feeling so energized and ready to GO! Might have to start my days this way 👀

I think a lot about the day my daughter will no longer need me. Then I remember that my mom is visiting next week and she plans to 1) braid my hair 2) teach me how to cook this quinoa recipe and 3) help me finish unpacking from our move a million months ago. I think I'll be ok ❤️
