CSS-Tricks has a new owner! Yes, I've got the keys to the castle, so to speak. And, even after 12 years of working on the site, I'll admit I'm a little overwhelmed and nervous about that. https://css-tricks.com/css-tricks-has-a-new-owner/

The wonderful @geoffgraham.me now runs CSS-Tricks! Let’s gooooo 🚀

It’s digital workspace safety training day again. Seriously, why are we still using plain email in professional and private conversations? Shouldn’t we, by now, have learned the lesson? Either we switch to another tool altogether. Or we improve the UX and accessibility of signing and encryption.

DSDS 0.22.0 coming in hot. Most of this update is about addition by subtraction. Removed unneeded properties and enum values plus some quality of life improvements like setting a source root. Check it out: designsystemdocspec.org

Noting plunges more sadness into ones soul as revaluating digital asset management system and brand platforms as a service.

Funny, that we had to wait for the "agent friendly" paradise until be got a tool for web-animation to video conversion that's not tied to a framework like #react. Breaking this corset that had tied the web down for so long isn't something I can complain about in the AI wave. www.hyperframes.dev

🔥 New blog post: The best way to use icons in Web UIs What if I told you, you could use CSS to *insert* and *tweak* icons without touching any HTML? And that you can manage them alongside your other design tokens? lea.verou.me/blog/2026/ic...

It's been a pain that we couldn't pass values into SVGs since I started doing webdev. But there's some progress with SVG link params. Here's a practical example. https://pepelsbey.dev/ar...

After a short break, the new Web Weekly is about to hit all inboxes. 🫣 This time, it includes `text-box` going Baseline, the two phases of `fetch`, linked parameters in SVG, and the new `Connection-Allowlist` header. Enjoy! webweekly.email/archive/web-...

We need this! So We need your thumbs 👍

Damn! Another side quest to be opened.

Oh. Lovely 🥰

This readme is seriously escalating into a link list of my favourite projects, web people and current obsessions. github.com/g12n/wc-tool...

NEW FONTS! The new Juncture typeface has an interactive minisite that walks you through all the fonts have to offer. 🔠 juncture.lettermatic.com

So, have #CSS scroll markers been thoroughly murdered, or is there still hope? developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

The biggest issue with the web dev community in general is its size and its hero worship. A single persons loud opinion quickly is deemed absolute canon. Killing important developments completely.

The time to ramp up your scroll-driven animations skills is **NOW** Go check scroll-driven-animations.style for and free 10-part video course created by yours truly, as well as a bunch of tools and demos.

Hearing ”small town boy“ randomly in the radio. Having to sit down teary eyed for a moment.

It's annoying to keep hearing about cool CSS features only to find out browser support isn't great, so today I take a look at a bunch of features that have fantastic support, but people still turn to JS for instead. youtu.be/qu1jE41O_8o

The damage Microsoft Word and Powerpoint and all its copycats caused for the ability of the majority of people to structure a document and data is unbelievable. 🫠 can we restart and teach everybody basic html or even markdown.

Not sure about of using Slot here. But I loooove the concept. CSS and HTML became so powerful in recent years. A lot of formerly JS based components lost the reason to use JavaScript at all.

A few months ago someone asked what I think a Custom Elements Manifest generator should look like. Here's my first pass at it. The goal was to make it light weight and easy to use. It's still in the early stages, but let me know what you think. #WebComponents cem-generator.wc-toolkit.com

Vor 25 Jahren standen wir fassungslos vor den Monitoren. Als um 14:46 Uhr deutscher Zeit die Welt erschütterte.

🫣oh Gott Heidi …

To be honest, I can't even blame them for that. Right now, the EU comes across more as a bureaucratic machine than as a stable confederation of states or a peace-building project. Given its current state, I wouldn't trust it to lead us into the future either. www.tagesschau.de/eilmeldung/e...

Rest in peace, Legend.

Great news! The CSS sibling-count() and sibling-index() functions are now Baseline Newly Available! I.e implemented in all major browsers.

There’s no better way to describe the current scare marketing of AI companies. And it’s driving me mad how eager the media is gobbling up as if their complete expertise about AI is a Sunday afternoon screening of the Terminator in a double feature with Matrix. www.instagram.com/reel/DbvqwgC...

This label says nothing about the authenticity of the product image. It's really dumb. In a world where Photoshop, 3D visualisation, make-up, food styling and much more are normal in product marketing, the choice of 'AI' without even a viable definition is wildly arbitrary.

„Abnormal“ ist ein „theologischer Fachbegriff“ … ach so Herr Kesici … dann ist ja gut. 🤯 Dieser Mann war Relgionslehrer und wurde auf Schüler losgelassen.

Brennt euch eigentlich der Helm beim Deutschlandfunk? Ausgerechet Burhan Kesici, Vorsitzender des Islamrates für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland, der zur besten Sendezeit im ZDF Homosexualität als "Abnormalität" bezeichnet hat?! What the … www.deutschlandfunk.de/homophobie-u...

Ich versuche jetzt zum dritten Mahl diesen Beitrag von @ckbln.bsky.social auf @maenner.media differenziert zu lesen. Aber ehrlich, es will mir nicht mehr gelingen. Dieser Staatsglaube lässt mich als alten Schwulen doch arg stutzig. maenner.media/gesellschaft...

Nein. Liebe SPD und, wenn wir schon mal dabei sind, liebe Linke: wir wollen nicht noch ein Symbol. Es reicht. Die Täter lassen sich nicht von Paragraph 1 des Grundgesetzes beeindrucken. Wieviel Staatsbesoffenheit lässt einen Glauben, Paragraph 3 beeindrucke sie? www.welt.de/politik/deut...

Sad. Not surprised. Sad not to be surprised Berlin 🏳️‍🌈🕯️

Today I finally got some examples running of using the #photoShop cloud API online. Not Pretty at all. Would love to have alternatives. But it’s shocking that image libraries like sharp (libvips) have no transformations for layers beyond affine matrices. No perspective bit warp. Wild. Sad.

Aunt Lydia Clements used to be one of the strangest figures of the handmaids tale. After a long and tiring weekend political discussion in Germany she became one of the most realistic ones for me. We watch. We listen. We learn. We‘ll remember.

We listen. We don’t judge. But we will remember. #Spahn

Fascinating to see the meltdown of German media and political discourse because a prominent member of a big part changes his opinion after 6 years.

Fertig! Es ist einfach nicht mehr auszuhalten #NRW www1.wdr.de/nrw/verkehr/...

Disabled Button State: Feature? Or Symptom of broken user journey?

Kulturkampf um Klimaanlagen hatte ich auch nicht auf meiner Bingo-Karte für dieses Jahrzeht.

Credit where due they did add both custom shaders and motion tools to Figma today and probably made these animations in their own tool

Nice! Motion arrived in @figma.com natively. That‘s gonna make a lot of impact.

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

What you want here is not: .parent { perspective: 600px; } …but: .child { transform: perspective(600px); } css-tricks.com/why-isnt-my-...
