If you put your custom properties (tokens) for every component in an @layer, then overriding them is never a fight.

The WebKit gang did a good job with The Field Guide to Grid Lanes showcasing what kind of layouts are now achievable with display: grid-lanes;. Basically: Masonry layout, with arbitrary column widths, and proper tabbing order, is now progressive-enhanceable and HTML/CSS only.

Jacky Gilbertson writes about the real job of design in Uber for Dogs: How to Stop & Think for Design. It doesn’t have anything to do with pixels and colors at first; it has to do with what problem is trying to be solved, why, and for whom. Perhaps it’s an overloaded term, but design […]

Google released an AI “skill” at Google I/O last month called Modern Web Guidance. It’s essentially a folder of nested Markdown files that AI agents know how to read and use as part of their context window when they deem appropriate.

If you’ve ever built your own client-side navigation that properly respects updating URLs, you’ve probably used history.pushState() a bunch, and it’s a bunch of work getting it robust and right. I think Jay Rungta does a good job of showcasing the newly-baseline Navigation API and why it’s better. Sorry for the huge blockquote, but it’s […]
