Another CSS Naked Day is about to end.

Zach Leatherman wrote on April 8, 2024 at 14:56 I wonder if y’all can help me out—I’m trying to collect a list of web development communities (not related to any one specific tool or framework), can you reply with your favorites?

Well, that title is a mouthful.

Imagine you have a picture of a cat, and the image has a 4:3 aspect ratio.

“A Brief History & Ethos of the Digital Garden”, beautifully written by Maggie Appleton, is an article I’ve only discovered several days ago, despite it being planted almost 4 years ago.

Matthias Zöchling wrote on March 27, 2024 at 06:53 Shoutout to @dan@webperf.social, modernfontstacks.com is high up in my list of most favorite websites ever.

Heather Buchel wrote on March 12, 2024 at 23:12 Speaking of getting a blog post out 🙃 I had some thoughts about what I’d tell my younger self as I started my career as a web developer that wanted to advocate for accessibility and thought I’d share.

It was only last week when I learned we have cross-browser support for the lh unit.

Matthias Zöchling wrote on March 12, 2024 at 06:20 Friendly reminder, the webp image format is a thing.

Matthias Zöchling wrote on March 10, 2024 at 23:34 But there is something else which probably everyone with a personal website should do: adding an RSS feed.

I talked about “High Contrast Mode” at the CSS-in-Graz meetup last week.

Šime Vidas wrote on February 28, 2024 at 01:32 Does your blog have an RSS feed?

I’ve traveled to Graz to attend and speak at the third CSS-in-Graz meetup.

Yesterday at work I got what initially seemed be a simple bug report concerning text-overflow: ellipsis in Firefox.

Matthias Zöchling wrote on February 1, 2024 at 06:15 I’ll be attending (and speaking) at #CSS in Graz presented by #Webclerks next Tuesday, make sure to stop by if you happen to be in the area: www.meetup.com/css-in-graz/events/298298652

Earlier this week Miriam Suzanne enlightened us with the difference between accent-color and AccentColor, and she even added an interactive CodePen: Form controls use the AccentColor… (which we can access, but not set) … Unless we provide an accent-color…

Miriam Suzanne wrote on February 13, 2024 at 06:15 Form controls use the system accentColor (which authors can access but not set in CSS), unless we provide an accent-color (which authors can set but not access in CSS).

:has() has been the last entry in my recently published list of major (new) CSS features.

Matthias Ott wrote on February 1, 2024 at 16:25 min() and max() are really useful!

Matthias Zöchling wrote on February 1, 2024 at 06:15 Workaround to make :has() a forgiving selector: Use :has(:where(…)) or :has(:is(…)).

Spoiler alert: More than ever!

Foreword This is an accompanying piece to the editorial »Zero vulnerabilities found« I wrote last year.

These days, it rarely happens that I stumble upon a CSS property I knew nothing about.

From clock faces to moon phases: Similar to last year’s animation, I took not just two emojis, but quite a few of them.

This site has come a long way.

After having added a bookmark to yesterday’s article about drop caps, I obviously also inspected the bookmarked page, which happens to be the wonderful “Experimental Layout Lab of Jen Simmons”, in the Web Developer Console.

Introduction Using float to create a drop cap has never been simple, because you had to tweak the font size and account for an offset to take care of a font’s cap height.

Over time, I’ve used numerous techniques when it comes to formatting links.

Foreword A lot has been written about the latest redesign of this site, but only about the visual changes.

Every CSS feature available in every browser at the same time?

As indicated in my essay on going beyond the width of the viewport, I’ve allowed scrolling in two axes on this site, at least on devices with small screens.

Max Böck wrote on November 13, 2022 at 10:27 Mastodon and other decentralized services are popular now, but I feel like a lot of the #IndieWeb is still geared towards people with technical knowledge.

Thanks to splendid browser support, utilizing :focus-visible is a thing now.

Yesterday, Hidde de Vries asked: If you could fix 3 bugs in assistive tech or browsers, to make building accessible UI components more straightforward, what would they be?
