Have you registered for my new course, Whimsical Animations? If so, would you be willing to share a few thoughts about your experience so far? 😄 I’d like to include some testimonials, either on the landing page or in a marketing email, so I’d really appreciate if you could share your thoughts. ❤️

I’ve got mine. Can’t wait to start!

Immediate impulse purchase. Josh's animations are SO COOL and I can't wait to learn his tricks!

you get a squircle, you get a squircle, i get a squirtle nerdy.dev/squircles #css

Safari 26 is here!!! Anchor Positioning, Scroll-driven animations, High Dynamic Range images, the new HTML <model> element, the all-new Digital Credentials API, SVG icon support, WebGPU, WebKit in SwiftUI, every site can be a web app on iOS and iPadOS, and much more. webkit.org/blog/17333/w...

I’ve gotten a few questions from folks who are potentially interested in my new animations course, but want to test it out first, to see what my teaching style is like. Well, good news! I’ve just published a couple lessons from “Whimsical Animations”. 🎉 Check it out:

When I first saw this course announced I thought “aw, I don’t need animations almost at all for my job, it’s gonna be the first course from Josh I won’t buy” But who am I kidding, the early access was announced and here I am tweaking Bézier curves and enjoying the usual top notch content 🥳

currently learning tweens, trying to match cubic bezier curves to the animation shown. tricky but useful skill! blown away by the quality of the course

i can't believe i forgot this is out (in early access) today - i just registered and had 0 issues and i'm excited! whimsy.joshwcomeau.com

Friendly reminder - if you get a professional development budget from your employer, don’t let it go to waste!

Animation is a part of my field that I haven't explored as much as I'd like. Josh creates excellent tutorials and courses, so I'm really excited to see what I can learn from this one. I bought iearly access yesterday! See if your workplace will help with purchasing learning materials.

Launch update: so far so good! No major issues, and more people than I expected have been registering 😄

Josh is one of the best development educators making stuff right now hands down. All his content is top tier. Highly recommend giving this one a look.

I’m a huge fan of Josh’s teaching style, and every course he releases is an instant buy for me. If you can afford it, grab it while the discount lasts.

@joshwcomeau.com's courses are so delightful to work through. Super excited to go through this one!

... and if I were to ask you "Who would you like to see speak at CSS Day 2026", what would your answer be? Name as many names as you like. I'd like to hear about people who aren't that well known yet.

I just used my learning budget to buy this course! I’ve enjoyed his blog posts over the last few years and I’m confident this is gonna be fantastic.

We have 5 @plank.dev's taking part — excited for us and for Josh (Montreal FTW)!

I gave my blog the “Whimsical Animations” treatment, for the course launch. 😄 Rest assured, the big multiplayer rainbow will be back next week. 🌈

Hmm… I’ve heard from two people now who’ve told me that my emails are coming through as all question marks. 🤔 It’s not tied to a specific email client (one was Outlook, one was Gmail), and it’s definitely not happening to everyone. Anyone know what could be causing this?

I wish I could make things this cute and engaging. I tend to think of animations as superfluous but this kind, that respond do user actions, are lovely.

I signed up immediately. I am now a proud owner of all three courses from Josh. The technical values from these courses are dense without any doubt. But also, the teaching style, course design, and tutorial setup set the standard so high! I'm sure anyone can learn something regardless of their level

Josh's courses are interactive, extensive, practical and actually fun to go through! I won't be able to apply this for work and still signed up immediately and got that 50% discount! 🚀

Josh has the knack of explaining complicated things in simple & easy-to-understand ways, which is a rare talent in my opinion! Animations are overlooked by most of us but can really make your sites stand out - I doubt you'll find a better course to teach you how to do it

This is gonna be so so so good. No one better than Josh to be teaching this stuff.

This is a no questions asked insta-buy for me.

Josh builds the highest quality educational materials I've seen in the world of web software development If his last 2 courses are any indication, I'll be referencing this for years. I highly recommend checking it out

Here I go buyin' another @joshwcomeau.com course... I'm almost 10 years in the game and I still learn things from him. It also helps me come up with visualizations and words to use when I'm helping others at work. EZ purchase...

We’re live!! My brand-new course, “Whimsical Animations”, is now available. 🥳🎉 whimsy.joshwcomeau.com I’m so excited to share all of my animation tools and techniques with y’all. 😄

I have the pre-launch jitters. 😬 My third course launches in “early access” in a little over 24 hours from now. I feel very confident about the content, but even still, launches are so stressful. 😅

I see the appeal of @starting-style but that specificity gotcha Josh points out looks really nasty 😔

When I read the spec for @starting-style I had many of the same questions and wondered why I’d ever need it. I’ve still never used it 😅 But this post gives very good intel!

✨ I just published a brand-new blog post about a modern CSS feature! But, honestly, I’m still on the fence about it. 😅 In this post, I’ll dig into the gnarly issue I ran into, and share three possible workarounds. Along the way, you’ll learn a bunch about the CSS cascade and specificity!

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad. One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

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" 😊

I’m Not a Robot, a game about solving CAPTCHAs, is out now! good luck :) > neal.fun/not-a-robot/

i’m back from a vacation and i have good availability for next month for consulting! i may be able to help with: getting unstuck at work (if you’re stuck with a software dev problem), frontend architecture, anything react-related the format is an hourly call [email protected]

😮 I just realized that my most popular blog post (An Interactive Guide to Flexbox) recently surpassed 1 million lifetime views! Totally mindblowing to me. I remember when my blog posts would get a few dozen views. 😅

Imma sign up and my new site is gonna be delightfully whimsical. I miss whimsy. Bring back whimsy.

I know this is gonna be good!

My next course, Whimsical Animations, launches in “Early Access” in 1 week from today! 🎉 The most important thing to know is that registration will only be open for 7 days. You’ll be able to register from Sept 24th to Sept 30th. Otherwise, you’ll need to wait for the full launch, sometime in 2026.

Honestly serious: JUST DON'T UPDATE PACKAGES RIGHT NOW. It is unclear to me yet, but this is looking pretty wide spread. Better be safe than sorry, just go touch some grass.

I wish English had a piece of punctuation that combined the exclamation point (!) with the colon (:), for when you want to show someone something and you’re very enthusiastic about it. What do y’all think? Would this be good, or is this absolutely cursed? 😂

To do this with the (upcoming) interest invoker API, it's 1 line of code: .parent:has(:interest-source) button { interest-show-delay: 0s; } You have your default delay. Then, you update the interest delay when an element inside of the parent has interest (i.e. hover). codepen.io/una/pen/LEpw...

My tips for going to tech conferences:

Shout out to @joshwcomeau.com for his wonderful article on SVGs, which everyone should read! www.joshwcomeau.com/svg/friendly...

I will not be buying the new iPhone. Not sure I’ll ever buy another Apple product, after this:

A while back, I was building a particle animation, and I ran into some weird issues. The particles were turning grey, mid-animation. And sometimes, they wouldn’t change color at all! Turns out, there’s a pretty big limitation with color transitions. I share some solutions in my brand-new post!

It took longer than I expected, but this new blog post will be published tomorrow! 😄
