bell.bzYou’ll miss publishers when they’re goneEver since Piccalilli started to get traction, I’ve always seen CSS-Tricks, Smashing Magazine and A List Apart (among others) as peers. We all help each other behind the scenes and importantly, back each other. When CSS-Tricks was initially acquired by DigitalOcean, I was really happy for Chris. The work that he’d put into that publication […]

Digital Ocean ended their $50/month sponsorship of GNOME and FlatHub and went radio silent on CSS-Tricks right around the time they found a spare three million dollars to burn on “sponsoring” a high-profile racist’s dotfiles repo. Impossible to see this as anything but a statement of their values.

A great review. Geoff and crew have done so much to keep an absolute pillar of our industry alive and flourishing. Hate the see how damaging Google “AI summaries” have been, but love to see how much is being invested in the CSS Almanac. It’s one of my favourite resources on the internet!
