@counter-style is useful for replacing the ::marker of lists easily, but it controls any markers-of-counters, so we can use it for more.
For the true beginners out there! We’ll put the files in a GitHub repo and connect it to Netlify to host it.
We can pass the mouse position from JavaScript to CSS and use it to make unusual and playful effects.
Got an old “modal” design? Now might be the time to upgrade it to a
