I despise markdown.

Anyone else having authentication issues on codepen? I keep getting dropped to a 500 error page after auth with GitHub oauth. /cc @chriscoyier.net Not sure if this is valid status downforeveryoneorjustme.com/codepen.io but showing down for me.

If you're dealing with SVG icons you probably know the pain of overwriting colors. There's a new spec in the making that allows controlling CSS variables from "the outside". And it's shipping in Firefox already! https://drafts.csswg.org...

I just noticed that @lit.dev crossed the 5M downloads/week mark on npm! 🎉 That's more than 2x in the last year, and 6x in the last three years 🚀

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism. There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision. Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

border-shape can handle both insets and outsets, so you can do effects like this chevron nav (corner-shape can't do both). This means you get a perfectly-wrapping focus ring without needing to manage z-index or having it partially covered due to overlap. Demo: codepen.io/una/pen/ByzY...

Finally solving the tooltip arrow usecase with a new CSS property called border-shape ⚠️ WIP early-stage API, timeline TBD, more info coming soon But it brings a lil tear to my eye to see this working, border & all 🥲 This demo uses anchored container queries + border-shape + a little animation

Hot off the presses! Firefox Nightly (www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefo...) adds the new :heading pseudo! Easily style all headings, or use nth-child-like AnB syntax to select a range of headings! Needs `layout.css.heading-selector.enabled` flag enabled. Try it out and let me know your thoughts.

Proposal to rename "dependencies" in package.json to "liabilities”. So the new structure would be: ``` { "liabilities": { "react": "^19.0.0", "typescript": "^5.0.0" }, "devLiabilities": {...} } ```

Asterisks are ****ing great. I swear by them.

Day 2 of the little man shredding the hill. This time no photos, but is incredible to watch things start to click for him. Going to be an incredibly fun season. #blueski #ski

Balancing building complex web components and the desire for progressive enhancement is hard. Hiding content from users until components load brings up ptsd memories of flash load screens.

With the update to chrome 131 and the stated styling improvements for details summary. developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-... I can no longer use details as display contents in a grid. Works in chrome 130/ Firefox / Safari. codepen.io/zeroedin/pen... Introduced bug? @chromium.social

#tinyCSStip One thing that has always annoyed me about `:empty` is that it doesn't work for elements that have text content, but no element children. `:has()` fixes this problem. `:not(:has(*))` selects elements that don't have element children, even if they have text content.

“the ‘grid’ the designers wield (those … light pink lines superimposed over a whitespace-rich design comp) is a different beast than the ‘grid’ that developers wield (which includes CSS Grid, Flexbox, and a slew of other modern CSS techniques).” - @bradfrost.bsky.social 🍻 I’m here for this

Layout & Grid in Design Systems

Simply saying the word "grid" conjures up strong and confusing feelings. Kinda like puberty! With so much history and so many different (and sometimes competing) paradigms, it's no wonder conversation...
