I've been finding a lot of value in @kevinpowell.co's tutorials lately! I love getting to use modern CSS for personal projects ☺️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzj3...

💫 CSS Loaders! Adding 10 new loaders to the collection css-loaders.com/growing/ That makes the total 700 single-element loaders! 👀🥳

In a recent conversation with @henrihelvetica.bsky.social, he mentioned attending meetups & conferences is like a cheat code, and I can't agree more. Conferences in particular can be unaffordable for many, and one thing he brought up that I hadn't even considered before is volunteering at them.

A CSS article came up in my newsfeed that on first glance, looked like it might have been AI generated, so I figured we could have a good laugh reading it together...

While you’re fixing the fun stuff, fix the important stuff too from @bell.bz over @piccalil.li piccalil.li/blog/while-y... #FrontEnd #WebDev

With Mindful Design, you’re not only going to really learn how the brain works and how to design an equitable, genuinely helpful experience for users. You’re also going to learn how to apply that by learning practical, transferable design skills that will elevate your work beyond recognition.

Had a great conversation with @sjoy.lol today. We both toyed around with the web as a hobby starting in the late 90s, before eventually turning it into a career much later on. We talked a lot about that, but then got into accessibility and I just loved how she referred to it as "a heart thing" 😊

Please add this tiny bit-o-CSS for stable scrollbar gutters to your Reset Stylesheets www.zachleat.com/web/stable-s...

That’s an excellent explanation, and this is one of the reasons my brain is so tired and sore.

I updated the interactive demos so they included more than just "color." That way they are more accessible (they don't depend only on color even if the user can change it) and they don't give the wrong impression that this is like a <font> type of thing.

There's one CSS 'rule' I always come back to – the heart of what I'm calling Poetic CSS: What are we trying to express, and how clearly can we express it? There's no best unit, best layout mode, or best selectors – only the ones that express our goals most clearly. Use the whole language. #CSS

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...

Billions dumped into this. Billions wasted. Meanwhile the cost of living crisis makes people's lives a living hell. This stuff makes me so mad.

Sometimes, designs have different images for large and small viewports. It can be tempting to simply use multiple images and a media query to control when we see each one, but instead, you should reach for the picture element! html-css-tip-of-the-week.netlify.app/tip/the-pict...

Just past 1000 videos on YouTube, and (very slowly) coming up on 1 million subscribers... AND as was pointed out to me by @nerdy.dev, I'm also approaching 100 million total views! 🤯 Lots of subs is a fun stat, but that's absolutely bonkers.

There's a nice series from @sturobson.com getting into *why* and *how* to "un-Sass" CSS. www.alwaystwisted.com/articles/UnS... @jeffbridgforth.com is making a similar leap and shares how he's approaching it: css-tricks.com/is-it-time-t...

I came across examples of grid that confused me. The only thing I could think of was that they were using named repeat for subgrid. Tried testing the examples and tried to figure it out on my own, I can't get it to work. Anyone have a working example? drafts.csswg.org/css-grid/#ty...

Was reading the latest State of CSS survey results and saw that one of the features people were confused about was subgrid, so wrote a post about it. Let me know if it helps clear things up ❤️ webkit.org/blog/17339/s...

#CSS border-image has been my go-to for image colour overlay, but background-image makes it simpler. "Making Text Readable with Gradient Overlays by @kevinpowell.co"

Took a bit of a break from HTML & CSS tip of the week, but first post is back up, taking a look at why single-colour gradients can be useful. html-css-tip-of-the-week.netlify.app/tip/single-c...

🎧 Listening (at 1.5x speed … 😅) to a wonderful conversation of two of my favourite people: @kevinpowell.co navigating the world of web #accessibility with @sarasoueidan.com 👏 #webdev #a11y www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndGK...

The big problem is investors will keep pouring money because *if* one of them hits, it's going to be worth an unfathomable amount. A lot saw that as a matter of when, and hoping to hitch to the right horse. Now I wonder how much is just sunk cost fallacy at play. futurism.com/six-months-a...

Safari Technology Preview 227 supports Navigation API and document.activeViewTransition now gives access to (shuffles notes) … the active view transition (if there is an active one)

Haven't had one of these on my videos in a while 😅

If you ever feel like you don't know what you're doing, just keep in mind Spotify sent out an email today with an image that is 8736x11648 in dimensions and 19.6MB in filesize. So. You're fine.

🎥 New (Video) Podcast: "Navigating the World of Web Accessibility with Sara Soueidan", with @kevinpowell.co www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndGK... I finally sat down with Kevin for a long-overdue, in-depth conversation about web #accessibility, and we had a blast!

Accessibility is one of those things that can feel a bit overwhelming when you start learning about it, so I had a conversation with @sarasoueidan.com where we talked all about it, including what it is, why it matters, how to get started learning more about it, and a lot more. youtu.be/ndGKjhzmLXc

🚀The new CSS sibling-index() and sibling-count() functions let us create staggered animations, dynamic color palettes, and even complex circular layouts with ease. I wrote about my first experiments with these fantastic new CSS additions. So much fun! ♥️ ✨ #CSS utilitybend.com/blog/styling...

I’ll be there! Anyone else wanna join us?

I've been using a "follow-the-leader" pattern with CSS anchor positioning lately so I decided to write about it! You set up a "follower" element and dynamically update the anchor on an event/state. Surprisingly simple and effective. Read more with demos!: 👀➡️ una.im/follow-the-a...

Last week I did a quick live session in my Discord community, and it worked well enough that I've decided to do monthly workshops there. The first one will be next Friday, with a CSS Grid crash course of sorts. You can join the community here: discord.gg/bRVypdE9?eve...

Here's a #CSS study list, 100+ features to checkout from the past ~5 years. There're surprises in here for even the most knowledgeable front-end developer! nerdy.dev/cascading-se...

How would you center an absolutely-positioned element? auto margin combined with width/height? top/left combined with translate? With modern CSS, you can use place-self: center! Demo: codepen.io/t_afif/full/... via @codepen.io More alignment tricks below 👇

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...
