> I think the way we currently write CSS subtly shapes the way we think about components. By having the visual styles completely decoupled from the semantic meaning, accessibility is easy to forget, because we can’t physically see missing attributes. www.craigabbott.co.uk/blog/2026/ou...

Train Your Judgement: a small quiz to decide which UI animation “feels” better. The interesting part is the explanation as to why one feels better than the other. I don’t always agree though, and some are really potato potato, and some would both trigger my motion sickness so my answer is “none”.

I wish I could be at #CSSday this year. Last year's CSS Day was incredible and I'm so sad to be missing it. Best of luck to all the speakers. And to the first time attendees like I was last year, I found my people there. I hope it does the same for you.

Seeing a lot of discouragement in technical writing circles the past week. And I've got some thoughts on what technical writing means in this AI age. I'm rooting for you and for all of us. 🧡 css-tricks.com/technical-wr...

Today I learned that CSS text decorations propagate to their descendants, they aren’t inherited, via @pawelgrzybek.com’s post on Mastodon, where @css-only.dev pointed it out. I wrote more about it on my blog: arpit.blog/notes/2026/0...

Forgot to mention: this shipped in @sugarcube.sh last week! No more back-and-forth between sugarcube and utopia.fyi. Thanks to @arpit.codes for helping push me to actually implement this. Check out the fluid space & type docs for more:

What I love about this, that the source is human readable and it's actually an interesting read if you want to catch up with modern web development.

Chrome shipped an LLM Prompt API to the web platform. At Mozilla, we oppose this API. Here's why:

“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 😭

Happy 23rd Birthday CSS Zen Garden! In May 2003 the Canadian web designer Dave Shea launched a community gallery of websites called CSS Zen Garden. #WebDesignHistory

So, Chrome's "web standard" Prompt API: Mozilla: Opposed WebKit: Opposed Microsoft: Several concerns W3C TAG: Several concerns Developers: Mostly negative Chrome: Ships anyway. A sad time for web standards. But, I guess someone at Google will get promoted, so 'every cloud…'

Utopia.fyi but in your tokens indeed.

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...
