“Can you make a list of accessibility checks that are just easy and basic?” I’m sorry but this shit is complex okay?? I can’t reduce it to a sentence without removing meaning. Like it’s taken me years to learn and I’m still wrong all of the time 😭

I would happily trust Netlify with my data layer. They've been the greatest hosting provider I've ever had. My only feedback note would be to rebuild the kickass devrel team. I think we all benefitted from their outwardness and creativity.

If you’ve ever tried to build a data table with a sticky header and a sticky first column, you know the pain: the reality was that only one of both would stick. A recent change to CSS fixes this: `position: sticky` now plays nice with _single-axis scrollers_.

I've been caught by this before, and I've seen other experienced #CSS devs get stuck on it: * { color: deepPink; } html#high-specificity { color: teal !important; } If we put that ID on the root, and some text in our document, what color will the text be?

I built a visual explainer of the CSS Cascade, the algorithm that determines the "winning value" from a list of competing declarations. It's built on work by @bram.us and @miriam.codes. cascade.arpit.codes I wrote about how it came together on my blog: arpit.blog/notes/2026/0...

@jensimmons.bsky.social Hi Jen, I think I found a bug with CSS anchor positioning in Safari. I have a chain of elements where each one positions itself below the previous one using `inset` and `anchor()`. It works as expected in Chrome & Firefox but breaks in Safari. Pen: codepen.io/editor/arpit...

Today I learned that when using the new CSS `@scope` rule, inherited properties leak through the donut scope. I wrote more about it on my blog. arpit.blog/articles/202...

So. Anchor Positioning and DevTools … I sat together with The Hype™ tonight and this is what we built in 2 hours. Main takeaway from this experiment is that it still requires a “Subject Matter Expert” (in this case: me) to build this, instructing The Hype™ what to do (and sometimes how to do it).

Finding the containing block is *super easy* in @Polypane.app, which literally just lists it for each element in the Elements panel. Along with the offsetParent and the stacking context parent, two other important concepts that often confuse devs Way too many developers are sleeping on Polypane ;)

Oh boy! I had no idea anchor positioning was this complicated. I would be afraid to touch it if not for this recommendation from James Stuckey Weber to make it work reliably. 1. Make the anchor and the positioned element siblings. 2. Put the anchor first in the DOM. www.oddbird.net/2025/01/29/a...

Hey @kevinpowell.co, I liked your video on the slide-in nav of your website. I recreated the slide-in effect using the upcoming CSS scroll *triggered* animations and blogged about it on my website. Post: arpit.blog/notes/2026/0... CodePen demo: codepen.io/editor/arpit...

Embracing progressive enhancement can make it much easier to adopt newer web features.

View transitions, anchor positioning, ​@scope, focusgroup, invokers, popovers, container queries, grid, relative colors, style-able selects, and more. The web feels like it’s getting so good at exactly the moment our collective worst practices are getting calcified as the default.

Hey @kevinpowell.co, congratulations on 1 million subs!! I love CSS and you’ve played a huge role in that. You’re an excellent teacher. You deserve this and more. Here’s to the next million 🥳
