This episode was incredibly good! It’s super interesting that HTML imports would actually be possible (and also that they might be called <rupert> – and include lazy loading)! Thank you guys! 👏

🤩 The latest Safari 26 Beta does not disappoint in terms of #CSS features:

⚓️ Anchor Positioning!
🪄 Scroll-driven animations!
🌯 text-wrap: pretty!
🌈 contrast-color()!
⏲️ progress()!
and more!

And this sentence: “We value the principles of progressive enhancement and separation of concerns.” 😉

Great work, @jensimmons and everyone else involved! 👏

It’s really about time for #RTJ5, don’t you think?

I have no idea how to make such knobs accessible, though … 🤔 Maybe range sliders as fallbacks under the hood?

Also, just look at those numerals by @koeberlin 😍

If you’re posting all of the life lessons from your best-selling book using AI-generated illustrations and images, I can’t help but think you might have written huge parts of that book with AI as well… 🤔

It makes me really happy to see that already more than 1.5k people watched my talk from last month’s @btconf on YouTube! 🥳🙏 I take it as a sign that it was useful to many of you and that real-world, independent conferences are still valuable and relevant – just like the long tail of YouTube when it comes to the visibility and impact of conferences. I’m so glad I can contribute to @marcthiele’s wonderful event and to the community this way! 💚

“Legitimate interests is now our legal basis for using your information to improve Meta Products.”

Alright, Zuck. 😂

Here’s what's included:

… e.g. your content (including audio), messages, metadata, location, device characteristics and device software, apps, “what you're doing on your device, such as whether our app is in the foreground”, identifiers that tell your device apart from other users’, device signals, information about the network that you connect your device to, including your IP address, and, of course, “information from cookies and similar technologies” – and so much more.

Sounds totally legitimate to me. 😂

Yes, yes, yes, yes, @jasonsantamaria! 👏

“For now, I’m planning on continuing to roll up my sleeves. I want to make things because I’m human and alive. I want to go on journeys and grow. I’m not always looking for an easy path, I want the friction. Because if I give up the journey, what am I really making? What do I actually learn?”

Every bit of The Cure’s album “Songs of a Lost World” is brilliant, but especially Endsong is a masterpiece:

Quick #CSS tip: If you unset all styles of a button with `all: unset`, don’t forget to re-add all the styles you need, like `box-sizing: border-box` or focus styles, which previously might have been coming from a rule with lower specificity (*) or the user agent stylesheet.

Someone – I blame my family, of course 😜 – used up all my mobile data for the month, so I’m now surfing like it’s 1999… 🐌 brb

Great that all “websites” are now basically 10 MB of JavaScript! 👏😂

I‘m afraid I won’t be able to make it to this year’s #CSSDay. 😔 And, looking at the stellar lineup and all the lovely people who will be there, FOMO is already huge! 🥲

Watching the talks remotely might help a bit, but just can’t replace the onsite experience …

Damn. 🕺🪩

What are you using to manage the #design #tokens in your projects or organization?
Style Dictionary? Diez? Your own solution?
