Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week.
These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.

Don't suppose anyone knows if there is a way to apply the new `text-box-trim` CSS property globally within a stylesheet, rather than to a specific text element's block container?

This really feels like the next evolution for CSS coding practices - what a great talk. Now all we need is proper browser support for these features (*cough* Firefox 😆)
In case you missed it, I've published the video of my talk, Smart Layouts, which I presented at CSS Day in Amsterdam.

✨ I just published a brand-new post! It’s about the notorious SVG <path> element.

You can read it here, and I’ll share more info in thread. 🧵

It blends deep, futuristic tones with bursts of energetic colour, creating a workspace that feels both focused and alive.

I made a typeface, it's called Flexflex 🔠
I've been working on this project on-and-off for many months. Very happy to finally release it!
Flexflex is a typeface that responds to spatial requirements rather than imposing them.
