Did you know most emojis are perfectly valid CSS <ident>s? Meaning, this totally works in all browsers: --💩: oklch(50% .1 100); background: var(--💩, red); Oooh I’m gonna have a lot of fun with this 🤩 Testcase: codepen.io/leaverou/pen...

I’ve been using Zed as my primary editor for a few days now, and it's working pretty well, but I have one major issue with it: The "disable AI" config is *global*. This means that if I want AI autocomplete on my TS files, it will also run on my MDX files. Plz upvote: github.com/zed-industri...

We're at 4844 responses for this year's State of CSS survey, so I just need 157 more participants to be able to say the survey got "over 5000" responses! I'm closing the survey tomorrow so this is your last chance to learn about all the latest CSS features! survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

📝 New CSS Article! I did a quick exploration of the new "Gap Decorations" thing, and I ended up doing a lot of fancy stuff except for decorating the gaps 😅 master.dev/blog/lets-pl... Read my latest article to learn a lot of nice tricks around this feature.

Excellent news!

I was able to take and complete @joshwcomeau.com course on web animations, and I have to admit that it’s just as high-quality as his other courses. Kudos to him for all the hours of work that went into it and that must still be required. whimsy.joshwcomeau.com

So cool 😯

✨ Just published the final bonus feature for Whimsical Animations! It’s a collection of 11 challenging animations and interactions, the final boss of the course. I had way too much fun with the cover art. 😂

Working on my wife's portfolio website and solved a design problem by using CSS round(). This is a less used yet very useful function! Here is my article about it, and will update it soon with a new use case: ishadeed.com/article/css-...

Guess I'll try Zed again? What's everyone using these days?

TIL about the new-ish `linear()` function in CSS. There is a future in which I'll stop using `framer-motion` ... at some point 😁. Thanks @joshwcomeau.com for the post: www.joshwcomeau.com/animation/li...

Well that's disappointing. 😕 Nate Bargatze is currently on tour, including coming to Toronto in a couple of months. Really hoping this news breaks through. I can't imagine many Canadians wanting to see him after this.

Why I 🧡 the web: TinyWind is a "pixel pirate sailing game" with real wind physics. Even has a leaderboard. tinywind.io #games #pirates #javascript

Anchor pos & interest invokers are awesome! The "taller" tooltips don't fit in the viewport below the link so the position flips. All w/a few lines of CSS, a couple of HTML attributes, and it's a progressive enhancement so the existing experience doesn't change. (still working on the animations)

Agreed. 😕 I try not to judge people too harshly because *I* stayed on Twitter for longer than I should have, so it would be unfair to draw the moral judgment line at "when I left". But I left like almost 2 years ago now, so it's getting harder not to judge people. 😅

😮 Cool website alert: Toronto Games Week has this lovely physics-based hero animation. 💯 torontogamesweek.com/index.html Do I know any Toronto-based game devs?

🏎️ Well this is fun! @rahulchaurasiya.bsky.social built a way to visualize different easing curves using racecars. racing-curve.vercel.app

The State of CSS 2026 survey is open! ✨ It’s a bit shorter this year, but still covers a ton of very cool new CSS. Taking the survey is a great way to learn about some of the newest features. 😄 survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

It's the Classic Tetris World Championships! The Classic Tetris scene is one of my favourite little internet pockets, and this is the biggest event of the year. Streaming now on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Scdd...

✨ Fantastic new interactive blog post from @citizenofnowhe.re about the issue with quick cursor movement on the web and an improved algorithm that fixes it. motion.dev/magazine/col...

"So, if you’ve ever seen a spinner freeze for a moment before the UI is updated, this is why!" Another 'holy shit' moment whilst reading a @joshwcomeau.com article.

⏳ Only two days left to grab the Practical Accessibility course at a discounted price and level up your #a11y skills with me ⬇️

got inspired by the work of @joshwcomeau.com to add animated icons to my website, and yeah, it sparks a lot of joy :3

my blog now integrates with @standard.site 😎

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

I was playing around with recreating some GSAP demos in @nordcraft.com , and got sidetracked a bit. The button looks 3d but is completely flat. The text is slightly offset on the z-axis.

A trend I’ve started noticing: my email newsletters get responded to by chatbots that have misunderstood my newsletter as some sort of customer service request. 😂 I’ve started having fun with them. Let’s see if I can get some free AI-generated recipes.

👀 It’s the very final day in my annual Spring sale! If you’ve been eyeing one of my courses, there's just a few hours left before the prices jump back up. Quick thread going through the deals. 🧵

✨ Have you ever wondered whether JavaScript animation libraries like GSAP or Motion are as performant as raw CSS transitions/keyframes? The answer is surprisingly nuanced. We dig into the question in my brand-new blog post:

🏫 Friendly reminder that my Open House is currently running! I made a lesson from each course public. It's a super low-friction way to see what you think of my teaching style, and pick up a few new tricks. 😄 The doors close in 4 days, when my Spring sale ends.

Another epic post by @joshwcomeau.com . I love his interactive guides, so so so good! www.joshwcomeau.com/animation/sc... #css

More and more people I deeply respect and have learned a lot from over the years feel like they are speaking into a void, to the point where they are losing motivation to continue making content, which got me to write my first post on my site in over a year... www.kevinpowell.co/article/tell...

✨ I just made a few lessons from my courses public for a few days! This is part of my annual Spring sale. It’s become tradition for me to offer a bit of a free sample, to help folks decide if my courses are a good fit for them or not. I call it the “Open House”, and it runs until Wednesday.

I have way too much fun making the cover art for my course modules. 😂 Specifically, this is for the final bonus feature of Whimsical Animations. It’s a series of difficult challenges, including one Kirby-inspired effect.

CSS style() queries landed in Firefox 151 making them newly available across engines. Here's how they work:

The 2026 State of CSS survey is now live 🎉 Take it here: survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

🌸✨ I just launched my annual Spring Sale! You can save up to 50% on my online courses. (I realize that it's basically summer in most of the northern hemisphere right now 😂. But up here in Canada, the flowers just started blooming! Look at the trees near my office.) Details in thread. 🧵

Sara’s course is so good. This is a great deal 💯

🚨 Cool project alert: Bloom, a React component that generates an SVG highlight with a hand-drawn aesthetic. ✨ github.com/yeunoia/bloom

This is so good 😮

Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.

When shape-outside meets `shape()`, it sparks endless inspiration. As always, @cgqaq.bsky.social has implemented it in Chrome 149 (coming next week)! We’ll be bringing even more amazing CSS features to Chrome, so stay tuned. The Codepen is below👇 Thanks to @una.im @nomster.bsky.social for their help

✨ I’m working on “Animation Challenges”, the final boss of my new animations course. It feels like that Karate Kid moment. We don’t cover any of these animations directly in the course, but all of them can be built using the lower-level techniques we learn. Wax on, wax off 🥷

Scroll-Driven Animations: Exploring the majestic new animation-timeline API www.joshwcomeau.com/animation/sc... Another superb introduction article by @joshwcomeau.com #CSS

A couple of people have asked me if I’m doing a spring sale this year, and yes I am! 😄 It’ll happen later this month, date TBD. Likely a significant discount on my CSS/React courses and a small discount on Whimsical Animations (since I just had the launch sale with a big discount).

One or more person or persons may or may not have spoken, and in a voice funneled through a person whose professional success explicitly hinges on demand for this feature, cried out: “eight.” That’s web standards, baby! wil.to/posts/google...

Yet another brilliant deep dive by @joshwcomeau.com, a true animation wizard. This time it's all about scroll-driven animations. It's wild how much we can now do with pure CSS using the animation-timeline API. A must-read for anyone leveling up their UI game. www.joshwcomeau.com/animation/sc...

Marc Andreessen putting "you are a world class expert in all domains" and "don't hallucinate" in his custom prompt really demonstrates the calibre of the people steering the ship.
