It looks like the folks at cssstats.com did a massive overhaul. Lots more stats, comparing websites and saving snapshots, for free! 😱
It looks like it's still early days because I've encountered many issues but they've taken a giant leap.

If you really hate looking at unused custom properties, maybe clean them up? 😇
I know looking at unused custom properties not applied in devtools is not the same as potentially flawed static analysis on a large chunk of CSS, but hey...

We're experiencing some DNS issues while we're moving away from Vercel. Please hang on tight.
Fingers crossed that analyzing your CSS isn't the most important thing you were going to do today 🤞

Thinking of cooking up something to compare sets of CSS. Most likely for before/after sort of stuff, but perhaps other use cases too.
Visualisation of that will be tough, I guess. Rendering stats for a single site easily ends up with thousands of DOM nodes.
Would you use it?

Gave the ol' CMD+K menu a fresh lick of paint and added a search bar. Much more useful this way 😍

Doing a very similar trick on the CSS Coverage inspector: create an array of start/stop elements to render an entire range instead of a single DOM node per line.
❌ DOM size before: 3145 nodes
✅ DOM size after: 686 nodes
(But gains depend on CSS size & patchiness of coverage of the selected file)

🧛 Anyone up for counting the depth of your CSS nesting?
Could be interesting to spot deeply nested and hard to debug rulesets, declarations, etc.

🆕 Spacing reset analysis
Sparked by @ohhelloana.blog's enthusiasm, this turned out to be a relatively simple feature! 🥳
A few gotchas:
- a gazillion ways to write 0 (scientific notation, floats, signed numbers)
- many spacing-related properties, potentially vendor prefixed (although unlikely)

#CSSDay was a blast and the first act of applying quick wins was improving scrollbar styling after watching @nerdy.dev's talk.
Still recovering from the energy.

css-analyzer shipped 2 versions of css-tree which is the only dependency but at a 'costly' ~2.03MB. It also ships CommonJS so we *could* even further get the number down.
