Had an amazing time speaking about Web Design Engineering at @smashingconf.com Freiburg last week! 🎉 It was an honour to be invited and to meet so many wonderful people and good friends there – a truly smashing experience! Thank you, everyone! 🤗💚🎈 📸 Photos by @marcthiele.com

I have a CSS workshop coming up soon at @smashingconf.com in NY, where we'll talk more about units & layouts & naming conventions – using Poetic CSS: smashingconf.com/ny-2025 I'm also working on a video course, and happy to send you updates if you're interested: www.oddbird.net/courses/desi...

References to “The Room” should be rare and well-timed, like @matuzo.at’s random “oh hi Mark” moment at last week’s @smashingconf.com in Freiburg. 🐶🏈🎭💃☕️

3 of the main reasons why @smashingconf.com is so enjoyable for me as a speaker: 1. It's ridiculous how nice every single person in the team is 2. They always answer my questions (and more) before I ask them 3. They're always calm (at least on the outside) which helps me stay calm Love y'all ❤️

Smasher of a conference, as always! Thanks to everyone who made the last week so special. Live coding on stage is always nerve-racking, but I couldn't have asked for better audience! Also - hosting a workshop in a medieval throne room was a first. @smashingconf.com

I'm running a @smashingconf.com workshop today and I'm having a great time! I'm in a room with 30 professionals who are super nice and eager to learn. ❤️😻 #smashingconf

Heading home after three incredible days full of inspiration and of meeting good friends and making so many new ones at @smashingconf.com. Thank you so much for the smashing time and have a safe trip back home, everyone! 🤗💚🎈

The closing talk at #smashingconf: The fearless @cassiecodes.bsky.social live-coding a game with canvas and GSAP 🤩👏

Had an absolute blast at @smashingconf.com! What a great bunch of folks all around. My favorite quote coming from @bradfrost.com: „Pixels are cheap“, explaining that failing is a necessary part of progress. Thanks for creating such an amazing atmosphere, and I hope to join again next year! 🥳

"Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks" by Manuel at @smashingconf.com I LOVE your no-class approach @matuzo.at 💜 It struck a bell with me, something I couldn't articulate. Can't wait to explore more #makessense

So many FOMO-inducing posts from @smashingconf.com Freiburg. Wish I was there! But I'll be in NY next month, talking about CSS types & validation. I want to change how you see vars now & prepare you for functions. You can also join my workshop on CSS architecture! smashingconf.com/ny-2025/work...

Thank you @smashingconf.com for an exceptional edition 💜 Despite not being with you in person, I felt part of the event, vibrating and laughing with the others. A BIG thank you to all the speakers for your humanity, kindness and open mind #inclusive #empathy #humane #love You are all SMASHING 😻

Looks like this article is the perfect answer to one of the QA questions that @matuzo.at got today at @smashingconf.com ⭐

I love single-track conferences, because you don't have to choose what to attend and what to sacrifice. That was @smashingconf.com ! To take a closer look to sketchnotes - visit patreon.com/ErSketch.

Thanks @smashingconf.com Freiburg !

"If I'm not having fun or not interested, I can't learn." - @cassiecodes.bsky.social at #smashingconf showing off an absolutely incredible game she made to demonstrate GSAP animation techniques.

Really entertaining game/animation talk by @cassiecodes.bsky.social to close #smashingconf Freiburg

Really enjoyed @reichenstein.bsky.social‘s thoughtful and entertaining talk at #smashingconf today! Amazing to see how philosophical ideas influenced the design of iA’s apps and what designers can and could learn from philosophy – and vice versa. A lot of food for thought!

the best part of @smashingconf.com (?)

This is happening when you are REALLY into your talk. Thanks so much, @reichenstein.bsky.social ! Great joy watching you at @smashingconf.com

Gemma O‘Brien kicked off day two of #smashingconf Freiburg with an inspiring talk about her beautiful and powerful lettering and art work – and a super interesting interview about flow state. 👏

Gemma O'Brien's talk was so inspiring and out of the box, it resonated deeply. This is why I love @smashingconf.com 💜 #smashingconf #flow #art #calligraphy

@matthiasott.com killing it at #smashingconf.

I talked about Gap Decorations at the @smashingconf.com pre-event. Today I keep bumping into folks who tell me how excited they are about it. Also today, Mozilla gave a positive position on the proposal: github.com/mozilla/stan... A matter of time now! See also: patrickbrosset.com/lab/css-gap-...
