In the CSS Day '23, Sophie Kooning brings us this awesome manifesto for building pointless websites, just for the fun of it. I can't agree more. #cssday #ssg

I'm having a gentle start on this first Monday back. Started learning about web components thanks to @castastrophe 's talk from #cssDay https://www.youtube.com/live/67bSCEEdaH8 #css

Thanks @5t3ph for your awesome talk from #cssday. I’ve been looking for a performant way to do pagination. Totally going to give your #css pagination example a go in a form!

If you're using container queries in #css, I recommend creating a root container to replace most media size queries!

I said that at #CSSDay last month, and @css pointed out it can cause issues (thanks!) – which sent me down a rabbit hole of intertwined specs and browser bugs. Here's what I found:

The result? I still recommend it! There's a good workaround to the browser bugs, while we wait on the proper fix. It should work for most sites, so try it out!

me right now: looks like i have a lot of free time today, i can finally watch some #CSSDay videos and enjoy the summer weather in the garden

also me: *scrolls a few days’ worth of unread mastodon feed* on the couch

What good is all the nice css stuff for if people are too fucking stupid to write a simple type="email" or type="number" into a form field. 🤬 @css__cafe

@5t3ph I'm trying to polish my thoughts I presented at #CSSDay and I'm writing them down for a post on Smashing. Once I've done that I'll put it into practice on my new site. 🔥

Followup on root containment in #css, scrollbars, fixed positioning, my #cssDay lies, etc…

After a close read of the spec, & discussion with browser engineers, this seems like a bug in all the browsers. I filed an issue with the CSSWG anyway, since the spec is a bit confusing:

https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9003

I also hope to write up something more dev-focussed, with my transitional recommendation (while we wait on a fix).

‘It's a golden era for web UI’, flashbacks to @Una's #CSSDay talk, there are too many new exciting web UI features to fit on one slide, and that's not a bad thing (@Paul_Kinlan at Google I/O Connect)

Two weeks ago, I spoke at #CSSDay about style recalculation in browser rendering engines, and about how the Selector Stats feature in Edge DevTools can help investigate slow recalc events.

Starting with Edge 114, the feature is even better.

✨ You no longer need to click on a "Recalculate Style" event in your recording.
✨ Aggregate selector statistics are displayed for the FULL recording!

I really have to stop blogging because I have a lot of work do to and an effin book to write! Damn you inspiring people at #CSSDay!

🚨 Site refresh alert!

Did a minor facelift on my consulting site to incorporate my new brand and uploaded the slide deck from my #CSSDay presentation:

For anyone following along, it's complicated (and may involve browser bugs). Still working on the writeup, but here's the relevant spec:

And a more comprehensive test of some relevant interactions:

@css #cssDay

While prepping my slides for #CSSDay on Scroll-Driven Animations I came to the realization that you can hack your way into creating Scroll-Triggered Animations – which are not possible with the current spec – by combining Scroll-Driven Animations with Custom Properties, Style Queries, and Transitions.

It has some downsides (detailed in the post) but it certainly felt nice to come up with a novel hack like this :)

📹 Video of my #CSSDay talk is live! I discussrd the new Popover API, how it is different from <dialog>, semantics and (briefly) positioning.

Slides and links are here: https://talks.hiddedevries.nl/00ZIVb/dialog-dilemmas-and-modal-mischief-a-deep-dive-into-popovers-and-how-to-build-them

@boldewyn @bramus @matuzo @DavidDarnes @HTeuMeuLeu Thanks everyone for helping me get to the bottom of this (also @mia and @castastrophe ). If there's anything I learned from #CSSDay, it's that CSS can still surprise me and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The slides for my talk at #cssday about modern CSS and how it will change the way we think about the language is online!

#CSS Tip: read my latest article 🐈

* * *

Almost a joke, but I really don't want to participate in the pursuit of engagement and all.

Social media sites mostly killed personal blogs, Google mostly killed RSS, now the game is just playing the algorithms, building up the hype, saying that some obscure questionable technique is a “Tip”, peppering it with emoji and all.

Like and subscribe (to my RSS — loved that variation on the formula from #CSSDay, forgot who exactly told it).

Credits for things mentioned in the article:

- @anatudor, Jane Ori (http://propjockey.io/about/), @davidkpiano and @leaverou for the “Space toggles”.
- Jane Ori for an impactful CSSWG issue (and her “CSS-Only Type Grinding” article).
- Anders (https://github.com/andruud) for speccing and implementing that change.
- @anatudor for “Logical Operations with CSS Variables” article.
- #CSSDay and everyone who talked about style queries there.
- @johannes for pushing me to think more about space toggles.

Oooooh how I appreciate this article: https://paulrobertlloyd.com/2023/162/a1/css_day/ by @paulrobertlloyd about #cssday
