Such a good video that mirrors a lot of my own thoughts about this. Well worth the watch!
I wish I'd realized when recording this that it would come out on the 10-year anniversary of my channel, but even if I didn't mention it, I guess it's still pretty fitting 😅 (plus it was posted to my second channel anyway, lol)

With `alpha()` we now have three ways to lower the opacity of a color in CSS. The nice thing with alpha (besides being super easy and probably easier to read) is that it keeps the colour space the same. I took a look at it here if you want more info on it: youtu.be/Pfj9OmvqU0Q
✍️ Just published a new post about my most-anticipated CSS proposals from Interop 2027! If you’re not familiar, the Interop project is a collaboration between browsers to pick shared focus areas. There’s *so much* good stuff this year, it was hard to pick just 10!
You can learn more about my choices in my new post. I tried to include lots of demos and examples, so you can get a sense of how they work. And much of this stuff is already in at least 1 browser, so you can start using it today as a progressive enhancement! www.joshwcomeau.com/css/interop-...
Also, credit to @vale.rocks, whose write-up inspired my own blog post. A bunch of us have written about our rankings, I shared a few more links at the bottom of my post. 😄
I'm attracted to new CSS and web things to play with like a moth to a flame. Here are the rankings I submitted on @webdevs.firefox.com's Interop 2027 feature ranking web app: vale.rocks/micros/20261...

The Interop project has a really solid track record, so there's a very good chance this stuff will soon be widely-available if they’re selected! You can vote for your own choices here:

✍️ New Article: Fit height to background pattern size with calc size() I wrote about a use-case for calc-size() and round() that helped me avoid cut-off background patterns. ishadeed.com/article/fit-...
Well this is cool! Wagon By Wagon, an experimental art project where people draw their own wagons in an ever-expanding train. It typically costs a small fee (<$1) to add a wagon, but the creator gave me a code that makes it free, for the first 20 who use it: WBWJOSHCO8V5P wagonbywagon.com
I wasn't originally going to add anything myself, but I decided on a whim to combine three of my favourite things 😂 wagonbywagon.com/wagon/24

I've been working towards a CSS-only sphere for years, and now I want to set it free (in #Saturn form 🪐) I added toggles so you can see what each layer contributes to the scene. Try it: codepen.io/alowpoly/pen...

Remember Internet Explorer’s “Page Transitions”? Well, they’re back, thanks to the View Transition API! → Blog post: brm.us/page-transit... → Demo site: page-transitions.style The project leverages IE’s meta tags so browser support is not limited to Modern Browsers™ but also includes IE 5.5–8.0 😆

I was recently introduced to straw.page, a maximalist Geocities-inspired drag-and-drop website builder. Apparently it's most popular with Gen Z, and it makes me so glad to know this sort of spirit lives on. 😄 🧵 A few examples in-thread.
This one is like a reimagining of what social media could have been if the Myspace model won out over Facebook. 🩷 ahona.straw.page
One more lovely example with a built-in MS Paint. ✏️ extrapage.straw.page

The monochromatic vibes on this one are immaculate. 🖤 seizurz.straw.page
I'm told that this is one of the most popular pages, and it's so legitimately Geocities 😄 iamsolomonica.straw.page

📝 New CSS Article! Learn how I used Scroll-Driven Animations and other modern features to extract various information from a CSS grid. blog.master.dev/extracting-g... Another article to show that CSS is more than a simple set of properties/values.
Getting information from a simple grid is good, but what about a complex one where the items are randomly placed? 👀 css-tip.com/grid-informa... A fancy demo powered by Scroll-Driven Animations and more! All the values are calculated and displayed using only CSS.

Newsletter issue is live! It's basically a mini blog post that explores two awesome up-and-coming CSS properties. ✨ I also decided on a whim to include a coupon code for my courses in there. 😄
✨ I'll be sending a special edition of my newsletter tomorrow that explores what we can do with the new `corner-shape` and `browser-shape` CSS properties. I’ve been doing a lot of experimentation this summer and I’ve discovered some pretty cool stuff. 😄 You can sign up here:
