Did you know that AVIF (the AV1 Image File Format) was supported in all the major browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome/Edge)? This has been the case for almost 2 years at this point.

Is it Time to Un-Sass? | CSS-Tricks
Many of the Sass features we've grown to love have made their way into native CSS in some shape or form. So, should we still use Sass? This is how developer Jeff Bridgworth is thinking about it.

Chrome Dev Tools upgraded to straight up underlining problematic elements. I like it, points to Google ⭐️ Many people never open the Issues panel, this is much better integrated.

🎉 Happy 30-month anniversary to Container Queries – in every browser since Feb, 2023. It was supposed to be impossible, but here we are! Why 2.5 years? Nothing will change tomorrow, but Baseline uses this milestone to signal confidence a feature has gained "wide" support.

just learned that CSS (as of "Baseline 2023") now supports nesting:
caniuse.com/css-nesting
I never managed to start using SCSS so I'm excited to be able to write things like this without a preprocessor: .cal-link { right: -18px; @media (max-width: 800px) { right: 0; } }
