@kevinpowell.co is a name in the world of CSS that doesn't need an introduction, and for that reason you should check out his courses.

He has plenty of courses, and some of them are free if you first want to see if his teaching style is to your liking.
Wishing everyone in the US a happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

While I'm at it, I am running a Black Friday sale 😅

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.

It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛

It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell
Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

Want a quick, simple example of how to build a vanilla js web component? I walked @kevinpowell.co through that very thing!
Back at it again with @kevinpowell.co in the second of two videos on #webcomponents! this time, he and I walk through how to create your own simple component from scratch

To opt out, the last one need to be on based on the wording, yeah? This is some anti-pattern where they know people just flip them all off, right?

But it was also on by default, which makes me think turning it off is to opt out? 🤔

Just now I launched my remixed "Friday Goody Bag" website! fridaygoodybag.com

This was a slightly old project I recreated using Astro and much of what I've learned (so far) from @kevinpowell.co. BIG THANKS!

CSS is so powerful now, it's amazing looking through older CSS and seeing what can be replaced with a one-liner. I'm on the hunt for snippets that used to be multiple lines of CSS that can now be done in one. Show me what you got!

I've worked on a dark/light themed site and went all-in using `light-dark()`. So far, I've thought that I can use it as a `prefers-color-scheme` replacement...

I learned that there are some differences in how they treat `color-scheme`. 👇

I've been using @zed.dev for about a month now and have really been enjoying it, so I took a look at getting started with it.

The comments have been super positive as well, though, as expected, there are a few dealbreakers that have kept some on VS Code or one of its forks.

If you've got a highly polished promo video for your product, having the narration be an AI voice is a great way to ruin the entire thing.
