There's an ideal set of sizing constraints for custom <select>, but the CSS is a bit tricky. Here's how to make it work, and a tour of new CSS features along the way. jakearchibald.com/2026/goldilo...

Designers should be more container query aware. it's a team responsibility for devs and design together. The "I can't do that in Figma" should not be a blocker. "Design component based", learn basic capabilities such as length units available in the browser. Know the medium you design for. #webexpo

Ow yeah! 😎 FYI: you can start using customizable select *TODAY* because it is the perfect progressive enhancement: in browser with no support you get the status quo which is just a regular select (which you can also style up to a certain extent).

The more CSS focuses on typography the more we can convince designers that it's the best design tool for the web IMO. Love to see it.

Nice write-up by @joshwcomeau.com in his latest newsletter where he takes a look at some of the struggles AI still have with CSS, including what looks like a fairly simple example that it simply can't handle, as well as the benefits of deep knowledge. www.joshwcomeau.com/email/black-...

I made an interactive demo to illustrate the `contain` vs. `cover` values. You can play with picking various combinations of box and actual image aspect ratios. Live demo on @codepen.io: codepen.io/thebabydino/... #CSS
Here’s a question I get a lot: > “Now that AI can generate front-end UIs for us, what’s the point of learning CSS ourselves?” I think there are lots of reasons, including that you can use AI much more effectively if you understand CSS yourself. But is that actually true? Let’s discuss. 🧵
