There’s a lot of cases where I needed this, so I’m very excited to seeing `random()` come to CSS.
While trying it out, however, I found the caching strategy options to be very confusing … so I am proposing to rename some of the keywords: github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...
Any Hot Takes™ on this?

A stochastic terror campaign against anyone who is trans or gender nonconforming.
We wake up with this fear, and we go to bed with this fear. And it weighs on us every minute of our lives. Exactly as intended.
And most institutions not only don't protect us, they protect the aggressors.

At the CSS WG meeting, we're discussing possibly natively doing fit-text in CSS. Send us your use cases (with screenshots/links)!
Do you ever need to fit multi-line text?
Do you ever need to fit non-text inline elements (e.g. icons)?
Do you adjust font-size, letter-spacing, or both?

We often hear that folks want "wrap detection" in CSS (i.e. when a flex item shifts into a position where it wraps over to the next line)
What is a real-world example of a use-case you would need this for?

(If you can’t wait to try it out, you can manually flip the flag in today’s Canary/Beta/Dev builds. Go to chrome://flags and look for starting-style)

It unlocks the multi-handle range slider, a pattern you might have already seen when picking a price-range.
