Got back from #CSSday. Apart from the great talks I had a wonderful time. I was being proposed to by @joshtumath.uk with a beer can, had very important discussions about soft hands, numbers of duvets, crochet and cross-stitch and many more. Very happy to be part of this lovely community.

A few of you asked for the pattern for the wine-glass cozy I wore at #CSSday. My crochet-pattern debut — here it is! Have fun with it, and I'd love to see your results if you make one. 🧶 schick.link/pattern @utilitybend.com @lea.verou.me @kevinpowell.co @sjoy.lol @ohhelloana.blog
Arrived at #CSSDay. We brought a bunch of stickers … make sure to ask some of the 9elements guys for “Javer Skirpt”
If you're in/around Amsterdam but can't make it to CSS Day, I also plan to be at the @css.cafe event that takes place the day after if you want to get a chance to hang out a bit 😊
Also, feel invited to come wind down over here in Saturday: meetu.ps/e/PQgWr/3C5m...

Ever wanted to get rid of “widows” in the last row of your auto-generated grid? I found a solution with modern CSS. We do need to know the child count though. @kevinpowell.co I actually came up with this after you asked about use-cases for child-count. codepen.io/enbee81/pen/...

After finally understanding @css-only.dev's demo for calculating the shortest paths between points, I was able to create this little spotlight effect. Pretty happy with the result! codepen.io/enbee81/deta...

CSS Weekly #628 🕰️ Multi stage timetable with modern CSS 🎯 CSS random() experiments 🚀 Practical view transitions examples 💯 A guide to the HTML number input Featuring @ichimnetz.com, @chriscoyier.net, @vale.rocks, @dxnny.fun, @bram.us, @ollie-williams.bsky.social, @mirrow.app. 🙏 cssw.io/issue-628
@bell.bz They dressed up. They put on their best little chili hat. It’s almost Christmas — they’re basically festive now — and you’re still pretending they don’t exist. Brutal.
A bit more niche, but next to fancy things like scroll-driven animations, CSS also introduced new math functions like round() and mod(). With them, you can take a time value like 1045 (without the colon) and calculate the minutes passed since midnight. bsky.app/profile/ichi...
If you want the full breakdown of how this is done, here’s the write-up 👇 9elements.com/blog/buildin...
Build a multi-stage timetable for a conference — fully in modern CSS. Each hour grows automatically to fit all sessions. 🍾 heavy use of subgrid. 🍾 round() and mod() to place sessions accurately 🍾 scroll-driven animations for sticky stage headings
There's a new #CSS Working Group poll to get feedback on different names for the infamous 'Pinterest' layout. - Since it uses many of the grid-* properties, `grid` will be in the name somewhere - We don't use metaphors in CSS names, so `masonry` is not listed here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Ex-Masonry Display Type Keyword Poll
See https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022 for context. This poll intentionally leaves out `masonry` as an option, see https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022#issuecomment-34172962...

Has anyone else seen this in iOS 26? Sticky and fixed elements shift slightly out of view when scrolling down, then snap back when scrolling up. I made a demo to test it: cdpn.io/pen/debug/Qw... Curious if others can reproduce.
My colleague @dhoelzgen.dev asked me to build a website for the (re)founded Elixir Ruhr Meetup. Had lots of fun experimenting with scroll-driven animations, border images… And if you’re brave enough, you can brew up some magic 🧙♂️✨ elixir-ruhr.dev
