Amazing news, and if you can afford to, join me in becoming a member of the site. The web needs those of us who have benefited from it so much to give a little back:

I'm so gosh-darned excited! css-tricks.com/css-tricks-h...

📢 I need 160 more web developers to answer 1 important question. How do you interpret the "Fully Supported" label on MDN support tables? Let me know in the survey below and tell your web developer friends to answer too 🙏🏾 github.com/lolaslab/acd...

I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment. With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording: youtu.be/WXL6K1lhvt0?...

Happy World Browser Day! I've long used "long live the web" as my motto/tagline, so today I published a blog post explaining what this phrase means to me: longlivetheweb.org/not-a-manife...

Yesterday, the CSSWG accepted my proposal for mesh gradients and diffusion curve gradients! Want to make gradients like this natively in CSS? Well, we've started the work on it. It's coming! Here's the Explainer: github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

In Dublin on October 27, 2026? There's a web dev meetup organized by W3C. That's also the week when W3C organizes its big TPAC conference, so there will be a lot of browser and standards people at the meetup. A great opportunity to influence the web if you ask me.

There's a really cool alignment feature in CSS Grid Lanes that makes items stretch along the stacking axis, filling any remaining empty space. It's great when you don't want the usual jagged edge at the end of your layout. Wrote about it here ➡️ patrickbrosset.com/articles/202...

> Co-browsing is the only model where the developer and the user maintain control over the experience, and the user can take over from the agent at any point. It’s the only model where the web remains the web. Well said!, Very in line with my recent dotAI talk too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NDl...

I blogged about my picks for the Interop 2027 project: www.sarasoueidan.com/blog/interop... inspired by @vale.rocks @pawelgrzybek.com @tylersticka.com @ohhelloana.blog and others who have blogged about their rankings.

Wrote a thing on why we should have interactive lists on the web: sarahmhigley.com/writing/inte... If anyone has their own interactive list use cases that aren't covered, send them to me! I'm putting together an ARIA spec PR this month.

What do you want us to work on in 2027? Here's a web app where you can rank the Interop proposals you care about, giving us data we can use to prioritise feature development. interop-rank.fxdx.dev

With the CSS-in-JS mass exit happening, if you need a full stack staff engineer with several OS packages & contributions to her name _and is also really really good at CSS_, I'm available ~

After 7.5 months of tweaking, reviewing, and rewriting, the docs for Scroll-Triggered Animations have landed on @developer.mozilla.org (MDN)! → developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W... Congrats and thanks to Chris Mills and @estelle.bsky.social for their hard work and sweating the details on this!

Holy shit. Someone has decompiled the Adobe suite, rebuilt it in Rust and released it as open source. Either all software is dead or the US copyright laws are about to receive an update. getartcraft.com/apps

Link Parameters is the thing that gives you the ability to style embedded external SVGs. Something many have wanted to do for a long time! If you want to show your support of this, give these 2 issues a thumbs-up and comment: 💬 github.com/web-platform... 💬 github.com/web-platform...

Well well, what do we have here? Try it Chrome Canary. #CSS #AnchorPositioning #DevTools

It’s a real shame that folk a decade ago weren’t warning developers against utterly insane things like CSS-in-J —  oh.

The State of HTML 2026 survey is now open! survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

In London? Like the web? Come along *this evening* from 7pm to Shoreditch where the lovely @londonwebstandards.org are hosting some of the prime movers shaking up mobile browser competition (also, me? weird). Tickets (free!) and details here: londonwebstandards.org/events/lws-o...

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @ashley-c.bsky.social from TechAtBloomberg on advancing the Composites proposal to Stage 2 at @tc39.es today 🎉 Composites are objects that are compared by value instead of identity. They are an evolution of Record & Tuple proposal.

After careful consideration and a look at where the industry is spending it's funding we've decided to pivot #FFConf in a "new" direction. I present to you: ffconf.ai Please share with bots and humans alike.

Oh very nice! CSS Grid Lanes (aka Masonry) is enabled in Firefox Nightly (159) 😍 Wonder if this will "ride the trains" to the stable channel. Anyone know?

The call for Interop 2027 proposals is closing today. More than 100 proposals got created! Here are my favs 🤩 patrickbrosset.com/lab/interop-... Check them out!

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

Manuel is a really nice person, and his blog is great. If you've been wanting to do some public writing, I 100% recommend jumping on this opportunity.

The CFP is open for 10 more days. So far, I have only 11 submissions, but I need at least 24. So, please share your ideas! First-time authors are very welcome!

Microsoft Edge's #WebMCP implementation is ready for testing, and the team has new demos! Can't get enough pizza related WebMCP demos! 🍕🍕🍕

📢 Lot's of updates in our new Edge for devs issue: OpaqueRange, referenceTarget, window-drag, <install>, WebMCP, and more!

Blink: Intent to Prototype: <rangegroup> element

This is as close to a cry for help that you'd see from me. I need work. I need money for shelter and food in the meantime. I've run out.

Customizable selects are so 2025. Now is the time for styleable multi-thumb range controls! Great work by @utilitybend.com and Open UI. The <rangegroup> element is being prototyped in Chromium by our team. Can't wait to play with it, which you can do with: brechtdr.github.io/enhanced-ran...

Working with @openwebdocs.org and helping them continue to do their best work is great.

Showed up at an AI conference today, and talked about the web. Turns out people liked it. Many folks here don’t "build" AI, they’re trying to use it. WebMCP lets you reuse your existing app as is, and gives you a say in how agents use it. Cause they already do.

Friends, it's that time of the year: Once again, I'm asking you to help me create another amazing HTMHell Advent Calendar by writing about HTML. The CFP is open until October 3! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Working with @openwebdocs.org and helping them continue to do their best work is great.

For folks wanting `corner-shape` to be available across browsers, would `border-shape` work for you instead? Answer here: github.com/web-platform...

Boooo. I did try and get it back once. I wonder if we could still make that work. chriscoyier.net/2024/02/28/w... I’m down to find a win-win situation, DO. Call me. 🤙

I'm worried about the web. I don't want to live in a world where most users of internet-connected devices consume their information and accomplish their tasks via a chatbot interface.
