There are no obvious CSS properties or values for making a @keyframe animation wait between iterations, or have a pause before starting. But Nils Riedmann cooked up a clever way to do it using linear() animation timing. I think this is cleaner than faking it with multiple benign keyframe steps. Remember linear is not the […]

One approach to color modes it to do it all in CSS with prefers-color-scheme media queries and/or the light-dark() function. A user toggle can be a future improvement.

Baseline now has a baseline-status web component widget that can be used anywhere to show of general browser support. This post gets into what else there is to think about there.

If you give a scroll or view timeline a –custom-ident name, then any descendent can “listen” to that timeline and base @keyframe animations off of it.

I enjoy writing code in Go, but an easy critique of it is templating doesn’t feel good. I’ve only just heard of Templ and it looks fabulous. You make .templ files which contain what look like JSX functions. They take typed params and have an implied return of the HTML they contain These .templ files […]
