Ahoy hoy! I'll be available from mid-July for new client work and I can help you and your team with: - Front-End Dev. - Design Token Architecture - Design Systems, tooling, processes & component libraries
 - Digging into your legacy front-end code Let's chat! https://www.alwaystwisted.com 🙏🖤

Design systems have always intrigued me, but they are something that I don't have any experience with, so, I've teamed up with someone who does have that experience!, @michaelwarren.dev! It's still early days, but if you want updates as we work on it, sign up here: thecascade.dev/courses/desi...

I need a new RSS app. Any suggestions? Using Android. Currently using one that uses my Feedly feed. It's no longer working, and I've tried a few that are meh. Open to any and all suggestions

Immediately signed up!

It’s been hard to keep this a secret for so long, but it’s time to let the cat out of the bag! Still plenty of work to do, but I’m stoked for the opportunity to work with @kevinpowell.co (one of the greats!) to bring this to life! More to come!

Editing a video on my time at CSS Day and @brucel.bsky.social continues to deliver a few bonus laughs 😆

The future of #CSS looks very different by @kevinpowell.co

fun fact: they found the original digital master tapes of all the Reboot episodes that we previously only had in VHS quality, refurbished the extremely rare and expensive tape machines required to play the masters, and are currently uploading them to youtube for free in 1080p! youtu.be/inKdUICLmXY

Who said range sliders need to be straight and boring?! Hey CSS, distort the line! 〰️ css-tip.com/wiggly-range... Another funny demo powered by border-shape, scroll-driven animations, and more The HTML code? Only an input element (no extra code is needed)

Quick SVG survey 🗳️ What are your pain points with SVG? What features are missing? What bugs matter the most?

Trying to make a new account for them. Got a "Your account cannot be created at this time" as the error... tried a few times, and in another browser. Came back later still not working. Looks like a maximum retries error... and this all feels like something made it into prod that shouldn't have? 😅

Smart Layout Patterns With Modern CSS, by @[email protected] (@[email protected]): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IBXIFe2CKA&ref=frontenddogma.com #videos #css #layout #containerqueries

Another thought while working on this. I'm solving problems that look simple, but require care and thinking. I'm confident to say that LLMs won't be able to figure this out, as it's solely depend on your CSS knowledge. I will compile all those thoughts and share them as an article or a video.

🚀 🧑‍💻 My CSS Day ( @cssday.nl ) recap on the iO tech_hub. Thank you to the company for letting me go with my training budget. Fourteen talks, two days, one church in Amsterdam, Lea on gamut, Jake on the <select>, Lyra’s x86 CPU, Niels’s DOOM CSS, Una on modern UI, and many more. #CSSDay #CSS #WebUI

Looking to set up an account for one of my kids on an ipad. You can only set it up on an iphone or mac... I'm logged in, in the browser, but no way to do it. Only through an apple device. I have apple devices so whatever, but what if a parent doesn't? This is so stupid.

The #cssday photos have been published and they are great. Love them. cssday.nl/2026/pix/pho... But these... These made my day. These were taken during my talk and it makes all of the work I put into it worth it. ❤️

also some of the awesome people i met at #cssday: Dylan Beattie (@dylanbeatt.ie) Kevin Powell (@kevinpowell.co) Eric Meyer (@meyerweb.com) Roma Komarov (@kizu.dev)

Cleaned things up a bit, and added a second pseudo to make it more of a star shape than before. codepen.io/editor/kevin...

some ooh lah lah from @kevinpowell.co youtube.com/shorts/-fW2K...

Inspired by @meyerweb.com's talk at @cssday.nl I played with offset-path before, but somehow missed that we can use it with border-box and padding-box, making this so incredibly easy. I need to fix up the code a bit as it's kinda messy, but you can see it here: codepen.io/editor/kevin...

New demo: Animated CSS Grid Layout. codepen.io/bramus/pen/o... Here’s the thing: No View Transitions. No JS at all. Instead, it uses Anchor Positioning to anchor the cell contents to the cell. Then, CSS transitions are used to animate the contents to their new location as the grid re-layouts.

This will *probably* ship before the mayor browsers get their act together. *knocks on wood*. Nested styles, @starting-style, specificity and now element references... Sometimes I think I should make a bigger deal out of all the devtools features I shipped that then ended up in the other browsers.

In my talk for CSS Day, I had a slide of a comment from YT complaining about CSS overstepping its bounds now that we can do some logic-based styling directly in CSS. Afterwards, @adactio.com came to see me to laugh about it a bit, because he was hearing the same thing when :hover was added to CSS.

Prop For That 📣 An a-la-carte #JS library for #CSS developers that writes meaningful realtime CSS variables to an element: - value of an input - pointer position - size of scrollbar(s) - colors in an image/video - element's visibility - tons more… nerdy.dev/prop-for-that

Since weeks many people came to me and said how sad they are, that @beyondtellerrand.com won‘t happen in Berlin this year. I’m sad too. Sponsors/Partners: do you hear this? Come back and support #btconf to bring it back to Berlin also. We need you to keep events affordable and make them happen!

Cssday day 2! Starting off with a very cool and inspiring talk by @kevinpowell.co . I want all the slides! #cssday

Enjoying second day of #CSSDay in Amsterdam! There are some pics of yesterday, amazing to meet @matuzo.at and @kevinpowell.co Ready for the second day!!!

A #sketchnotes for the talk "CSS is eating JavaScript" by @kevinpowell.co at the @cssday.nl #cssday

Hi @kevinpowell.co! I'm a frontend dev that's been working in legacy enterprise code for quite some time and just took your modern CSS fundamentals course on frontend masters. I was so awed by everything that's possible today and you helped me fall in love with the frontend all over again. TYSM!

I know a lot of people associate me with CSS because I started a YouTube channel about it, and somehow that became a thing... ...and logically speaking, I think I know what I'm doing... ...but imposter syndrome is a thing, and it's not making me feel great at the moment. 🫠

Every time I see someone I like talk about AI the first thing I hear in my head is Farming while Beige saying "What is it now?", and I worry a bit. Happy to say there is nothing in this video I disagree with, it is pretty much my take on AI in coding.

I don't agree with the title, but I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with the core message. Expertise is very important for producing and shipping high quality production software. If you use an LLM at work, you MUST put in the reps to acquire and keep up your expertise somehow.

I think this is a great take from Kevin on AI coding tools. Deskilling is a huge problem with these tools, and the issue with junior engineers is one I anticipated. In fact I anticipated pretty much all of the big problems I’ve heard of.

If you're in/around Amsterdam but can't make it to CSS Day, I also plan to be at the @css.cafe event that takes place the day after if you want to get a chance to hang out a bit 😊

This runs counter to the messaging of the most funded developers, developer advocates and tech companies. Despite expertise being the point of value, we have yet to see folks (like those at Microsoft and Google) push back - I'm talking the sales people.

very good. very honest. very correct. thanks, kevin.

Expertise is going to be more valuable in the age of AI than before 👏🏻

A few weeks ago, I talked about AI and its impact, and the uncertainty it's causing. It was a bit downbeat. I thought it would be a good idea to make something with a bit more of an uplifting message as a follow-up. Of course it hit a new audience and all the haters have shown up in the comments 😅

Was part of our @ffconf.org news yesterday, but posting here too: we launched the FFConf Speaker Feeds page: ffconf.org/feeds/ It pulls all the latest blog posts for perusal, and you can cherry pick your own curated feed and download the OPML file for feed reader import. I'm quite chuffed with it.

If you're going to be at CSS Day, first, make sure to stop me and "hi" at one point, and if you do, also ask me for some stickers. I want to give them all away by the end of the conference, and I've got quite a few 😊
