Back home after a fantastic few days of @cssday.nl and @css.cafe. I once again forgot to take selfies with people. There are probably some images flying around. I'm such an idiot. 😂 But wow, I had fun. I learned, I socialized and I have Inspiration for months to come. First a bit of sleep tho 😅
And now up to @schepp.dev showing how he created a dark/light toggle without altering html using CSS carousels. ♥️ At @css.cafe

#cssday continued… Great chats with @schepp.dev and @erwinhofman.bsky.social, advanced CSS talks with @kizu.dev, learned a lot from @joshtumath.uk, got my brain melted by @html5test.com, and of course special thanks to @rgadellaa.bsky.social for fighting the good battle with @open-web-advocacy.org.
If like me you think @bram.us shouldn’t be stealing @jakearchibald.com code then I sent some stickers to #CSSDay I believe that they have almost gone
