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. Web developers are rightfully skeptical of new web tech, wanting to know when they can actually use a feature, so this is […]

Dave posts about this common web component learning blunder. The blunder is… not using a framework. I’m very guilty of this myself. I was just commenting about how the lifespan of web components could be wonderfully long if we keep them dependency free, which theoretically we can because they are a native part of the […]

Some things you just can’t undo in CSS. But, perhaps unintuitively, that does work with visibility.

Google released a new page listing web platform features: webstatus.dev For the first time you’ll have a way to see the entire web platform mapped as a set of features, along with their support in browsers. It’s explicitly not a caniuse replacement. In fact it’s use case is rather niche: it’s mostly to show off […]

CSS developers got the ultimate dream: container queries. But now that they are here, are we actually reaching for them as much as we thought we would?
