100% yes! And can I also say that Josh work is *very* inspiring? He raised the bar so much for technical blog posts. 💜

YES!! Style queries are coming to Firefox! 😍😍 I felt that as in the past few days I got over 6 email notifications about the style queries issue on Bugzilla (I didn't mind them at all, of course).

Just read “The Too Early Breakpoint” by @ishadeed.com — and once again, super inspiring to read. Such a clear way of explaining a subtle responsive design problem, with practical takeaways you can apply immediately. Always a pleasure to read your posts 👏🙏 ishadeed.com/article/too-...

That moment when I removed a section titled "Real world example" from one of my course modules because the previous explanations are actually real world examples and I'm over-explaining the topic. Fun times :D

✍️ I wrote a short opinion piece about a pattern I keep seeing lately: switching to the smallest responsive layout too early. I call it The Too-Early Breakpoint. 🔗 ishadeed.com/article/too-...

Glad that I mentioned this in the Flexbox module of my course 🤩 Now I just need to update the note.

Morning everyone! Happy day 🙌

I wrote a new article: “Solving Shrinkwrap: New Experimental Technique” https://kizu.dev/shrinkwrap-solution/ In this article, I present my new technique for solving a #CSS problem that was deemed impossible — true shrinkwrapping of an element with […] [Original post on front-end.social]

I have been a bit quite lately on my blog but that was on purpose. I took a break and now my mind is ready to write again! I started drafting a new CSS article today 🥳

I had heard that parcel delivery in Germany is tricky. Today I experienced it myself. The delivery driver was very close to the address, but somehow, the status has changed to "2nd delivery attempt". I asked my sister if she got a call or email, but nothing. Now we will wait till Monday :D

An example of AI slop in the context of CSS: ```<div class="absolute bottom-0 left-0 right-0 h-[1px] bg-[#eee7dd]"></div>``` This div adds a bottom border in CSS, which can be replaced by, you guessed it, a border-bottom property.

2026 didn't kick off well for us. Adam (2 months old) was hospitalized due to a chest infection. We are home now, but still need to isolate. This, among other things, has impacted my work on the CSS course for the last two weeks, meaning the launch will be pushed to late Feb, if not later :(

Container name query 🥳 This will be useful to query the container by name instead of using a hack like: @container card (min-width: 1px) { /* .. */ }

Anchor positioning 😍

🇩🇪☕️ To my friends in Germany: I need your top specialty coffee roaster recommendations! 😀 My sis is finishing her postdoc and coming back in early Feb and I’m using 2kg of her luggage for coffee. I have The Barn and Bonanza on my list. What else should I add? 🤔

Made a lil' library: codepen.github.io/slideVars/ Automatically detects CSS custom properties on the :root/html and gives you controls for adjusting them. (But it's also as configurable as you want it to be.)

This feature in @developer.chrome.com's DevTools is so helpful. Every time I get stuck on a calc() or other CSS functions, I solve the bug much quicker with it. Thanks to everyone who worked on this! 👌

Morning everyone! I’ve been away from the blog and social media, but the good news is that my CSS layout course is shaping up! I’ll send an update within this month. If you are not subscribed to the course newsletter yet, you definitely should (Or send it to a friend) 😄 layoutmaestro.ishadeed.com

Happy new year! 🥳

I'm thinking of a thing in 2026 which is to start a weekly office hour to talk with the web community about anything CSS or design-related. Who is up for that? 😃

I'm working on a CSS layout course for early 2026 called The Layout Maestro. It’s a dump of how my brain approaches and builds CSS layouts.. 😊 layoutmaestro.ishadeed.com

VoxCSS, a CSS voxel engine. I like how CSS grid is used! voxcss.com

omg what I just saw? an AI video for showing a cutting edge CSS feature 🤯 I couldn't even complete watching it :/ Why not just ask a human to create a demo?

Scroll-Triggered Animations … with nothing but CSS … oh yeah 🤩 codepen.io/bramus/pen/Z... (Coming to Chrome 145. Blogpost in the works.)

ohh, I can't wait to give this a try. This is so exciting that I'm pausing my work and updating macOS NOW to get the latest Safari TP. 🤩

Me writing git commits for my CSS layout course 😆

I needed to know the number of words in my CSS course to get a quote from the editor. Since the course is a mixed format (text, media, demos), it's not easy. I used Cursor to count them and told it to exclude (component imports, syntax/code, etc.). The result ended up 4x what I expected 😅

Hot chocolate, cookies.. can get it more chocolately than that? Winter vibes ☕

In one of my course layouts, I used Subgrid in a way I never imagined. If it weren’t for my CSS layout course, I’d have shared it already. So excited. Sign up to hear about it: layoutmaestro.ishadeed.com

Great one! Lynn annual website redesign is very inspiring. 👌

100% this! I've putting Replit and Cursor with different models to test and it's okay for typical UIs (media components, list, etc), but it's *very* bad for tricky UIs like the one Josh shared. Learn CSS.

10 powerful ways to use #CSS variables a non-exhaustive list, but a good one nonetheless! nerdy.dev/custom-prop-...

A thread worth reading! Going through the replies is eye-opening and refreshing.

Just another reminder that you get a 50% coupon code with every purchase during the @piccalil.li Black Friday period *and* every course is £60 (~ $80) cheaper. If you wanted two courses and used your 50% coupon, you'd save over £180 (~ $240) off the full price! High quality, affordable education

I played with Framer to build a grid with minmax(), but didn't find any hints about that. All I could find is "Advanced Layout" which sounds like an over-exaggerated way. Width: 100, min -> This resulted in minmax() in the CSS, but this is not obvious. There is a big potential to enhance the UX. 😄

Great post! I made 3 demos early this week and can't wait to share them when I'm back.
