Container queries and CSS make it simple to smoothly transition an element to the other side of its parent container without knowing exact dimensions or distance.

🚀As a case study, I tried to recreate the famous Guess Who game with built-in AI and the Prompt API. It was a really interesting experience, to say the least.
My heart is at CSS & UI, and always will be. However, I do love to experiment with a variety of (web)technologies 😄 Read all about it

The thing is. I really appreciate cinema as an art form. When I studied film we had to go to the cinema once each month looking at silent movies like "the general" with live piano. I should do it again sometime. I loved that.

I'm a big advocate in creating stupid and weird stuff on the web. The web is supposed to be fun! You go lex! 💯😁

Watching some good old cinema front from time to time. Usually this happens in fall. This time I'm re-watching some of my favourites growing up. Quentin Tarantino and Oliver Stone movies. The choice to shoot on 35mm film is really something... The color and the drama it brings. Lost art form? 🤔

2 days ago, I was at @frontmania.bsky.social speaking about why CSS is a programming language. So funny to see that one of my favourite podcasts @whiskey.fm is doing that topic in their latest episode! 😀 whiskey.fm/is-css-a-pro...

Is CSS a Programming Language? w/ Kevin Powell - Whiskey Web and Whatnot: Web Development, Neat - Episode 213

This week, Robbie and Adam talk with Kevin Powell about the quirks and complexities of CSS, from Tailwind and Flexbox to AI’s failure to write decent styles. While sipping some Crown Royal Black, they...

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most.

So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion.

Time to change some profile pictures. The hair is a bit more salt & pepper nowadays 🙃

To elaborate on that. The first question I can visualize is some technical problems or potential dangers. The second one might have some really interesting cases that could benefit design system engineers.

After @utilitybend.com's excellent talk at Frontmania on Engineering CSS I was left with two questions:

1. Why can't @property declarations be declared in a scope, The ability to scope custom props is so powerful this feels like a miss.

2. CSS Functions are great. Can we have typed in- and output?

Oh cool. I'll add it to my notes. Thanks for taking a look. It really is appreciated 🙂

Interesting. How would before, after and between work? You mean based on thumb then? A change I currently think of is rather a numbered segment instead of child. Eg: ::nth-segment(2)

The benefit is that it's easy to manage no matter the amount of thumbs. For example 4 in my opening hours example.

Second at #Fronteers was @utilitybend.com with a presentation about OpenUI, teaching us about a whole bunch of new html and css keywords along the way.

Sketch notes about "The Future of UI is open", various drawings on the page including "A Popover can be anything", and "OpenUI Group", and a handful of new CSS keywords.
