Two months back there was a bit of a hubbub about masonry layout in CSS with Jen at Apple making a case and Rachel at Google agreeing those use cases would be great, but should be based on display: masonry; not display: grid;. Then: nothing. Web standards just move at the pace that it moves […]

A “stand alone” Web Component is a Web Component that provides some design or functionality but that has little by way of dependencies, strong opinions, or heavy design. In other words, Web Components that could easily imagine sliding into any project without much trouble.

I feel like I haven’t seen a really nice web design inspiration gallery in a while so Design Spells is really doing it for me. Design details that feel like magic. I think it’s the focus on websites. 😍

Google has this little widget called Baseline. Here’s a screenshot example: The idea is for it to accompany a web platform feature so you can have a sense of what browsers support it.
