Here’s a recreation of Wes’s demo that also shows the “Inset-Modified Containing Block” (IMCB) when hovering an anchored item. The IMCB is shown in hotpink. codepen.io/bramus/pen/r... Within that IMCB, you can use align-self / justify-self to position the blue box within it.

(Why)? does CSS anchor not have a position-area for the inside corners? You need to switch to a totally different approach using inset values if you need that. As far as I understand position-area is a helper for common uses. Must have a reason?

did something change with CSS anchor position-try-fallback? My demos where the tooltip flipped inline don't seem to work. Other demos seem to flip, but not flip back when space is available

I challenged my two friends to order a pizza with code. CJ reverse engineered the GraphQL API Scott built a Pizza MCP and I built a voice agent that can make calls www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O2Q...

These displays are so good. Been running the 4:3 BenQ for about a year and they just sent me the 32” to replace my big bezel LG 32” Colors are great and text is super crispy

my kids are going to lose their minds when they see this Sticker Dream: Just imagine a sticker and have it printed in seconds

I hacked my conference badge and wrote an app to control the addressable LEDs from @ashley.dev's Github Light Quick 4:04 video → www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jPm...

The badges at GitHub universe this year are nuts! Color screen, wifi, Bluetooth. Powered by a raspberry pi 2350 / @pimoroni.com I tried my hand at building an app on the way home.

Got to meet satya nadella today. Unreal!

Hellllll yeah!

INTERNET

This Lando Norris website is insane I dove into the code and broke it all down. Some really neat 3D effects along with scrolling and next level animations Full video → www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzL6...

Don't [...spread] or .split() your strings! Use Intl.Segmenter API. Available in every JS runtime

This weekend at the mall with my kids, one one of you (Trevor?) came up to me and said "Hey Wes, love your stuff!" My kids won't stop talking about it and now think I am the coolest most famous person on earth. Thank you

Obfuscating text with local LLMs + CSS highlight API needed a way after having to blur my address in the Pizza video Uses Chrome's experimental LanguageModel API to prompt a local v3Nano Kinda slow, but makes me think of new possibilities when prompting on-device will be fast + free + private

AI coding sucks CJ just one-shotted a 15 min rant and it's incredibly refreshing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZUk...

I feel like I've seen that logo somewhere before

AI has a purple problem Why does every website look like this? Where did this come from? Is Tailwind to blame? I went to the sloppiest and purplest corners of the web to find out www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG_7...

I decoded bonzi buddy and gave him LLM access

@f15y.com hey - hoping you can answer a question on the OBS websocket API. I'm trying to batch request GetSourceScreenshot, but they seem to come back in a random order and I'm not sure how to attach the name/ID to them. I found your thread on input/outputVariables, but its not working

Typical day in life of a web dev

SWAG ALERT Just dropped the web dev pin pack #1 Five pins. Seven bucks. Makes you a better coder. checkout.sentry.shop/collections/...

I built a realtime LED grid and let the internet control it. Here is the stack: Cloudflare Durable objects Partykit React + Websockets ESP32 microcontroller 3D printing + lots of soldering

I made Github's graph IRL @antfu.me's graph almost blew a fuse

we are in for a few years of security nightmares

This new diffuser I printed and it’s wayyyyyy better. No more bleed About 1mm of white and then black all the way down.

Working on an LED grid drawing app. This is suuuper fun

This is CSS performance problem I see all too often. The React website has some jank due due to their use of transition. Here is how to find what causes it and how and fix it

Double emojis - dead ai giveaway

I'm going nuts! Can a <button> not be a container? I feel like I've tried everything codepen.io/wesbos/pen/Y...

3D printed my son a HUGE Lego man! This is as large as it would possibly be for my printer

These smell amazing I got bumper plates made from ground up shoe sole rubber

🔥 AI dev tip Use Ollama to easily run models like Deepseek-r1 or Gemma locally on your machine. It downloads them and spins up a server with an OpenAI SDK compatible API The smaller models are fast and good enough to work on new features or debug streaming without having to pay for API requests

well thats a first! recording interrupted by two military planes a few hundred feet over my office

This is really refreshing Cally - a dead simple date picker built with web components

We built @kitboga.bsky.social the world most painful CAPTCHAs to use on his scammers. These are absolutely hilarious and I had a blast making mine www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra4k...

Bought a bigger kettlebell 💪

Woah - Figma just acquired Payload?! Interesting move to acquire a CMS - seem like part of their Figma to AI + Code strategy? www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wvo...

Just announced at WWDC: WebGPU Landing in Safari 26! The announcement favours graphics, but this will be a huge step forward for running AI models on device via libraries like Transformers.js

Anything but a backpack day! I 3D printed my daughter a HUGE Stanley

RESTOCKED DONT WAIT IF YOU ARE A WEBMASTER

Wes big-brained the videos for his new site by reverse engineering the streaming protocol from a popular social platform It works by streaming the M3U8 file into Media Chrome

I had a blast last night at the live taping of "Syntax" in Denver! I got to meet @wesbos.com, Scott, and CJ and network with a lot of other people at the event! It was so much fun. My favorite part was watching them do the CSS battle.

Unreal meetup last night! Packed house. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a good time!

This is so random! and muuuuch needed A new Random namespace with 22 methods for working with randomness in JavaScript. proposal just hit Stage 1

> our implementation was not developed by Mozilla employees, but was contributed entirely by a single volunteer, André Bargull. Temporal is an absolutely massive spec and complicated implementation - it's been YEARS in the making. André out here just beating out billion dollar corps

ITS HAPPENING Firefox 127 shipped today making it the first browser to support Temporal - the new API for working with Dates, times, timezones + durations

I got fed up with OBS source record UI so I built my own with the OBS websocket API

What are you working on?

Holographic CSS Ticket effect! I love this effect so much that I had to recreate it. Here is how it's done:
