I am happy that mediawiki is attended to and free but I will never forgive them for styling it with LESS. Overriding hyperspecific LESS classes with vanilla CSS is absolute hell

I downloaded Affinity the other day because fuck adobe and its actually really nice. i've been using it in an indesign way!

Only things so far—I wish you could change the font of the leaders in the table of contents and i wish the table of contents styles were more flexible.

margin-trim is cool too i just learned so much im in awe
Do you need a simple warm up to slowly get your brain back into CSS after a long holiday break?

I intentionally made this article easy breezy.

😍 PSA: ident() is an upcoming CSS feature I’m incredibly excited about and you're about to be too.

It will allow you to compose CSS variables from other variables, making code like this possible. 😍

table:has(td:nth-of-type(3):hover) /* column cells */
tr:not(:first-of-type):has(~ tr:hover)
td:nth-of-type(3) {
