CSS-Tricks has a new owner! Yes, I've got the keys to the castle, so to speak. And, even after 12 years of working on the site, I'll admit I'm a little overwhelmed and nervous about that. https://css-tricks.com/css-tricks-has-a-new-owner/

I still absolutely love watching Kevin's videos about specialized details that almost no one ever cared about before (and even fewer care about now) and I will continue to do so. It's more important than ever.

Today we’re announcing that we (ran out of money and) have been acquired by [Large Company]. We at [Startup who will be culturally decimated by Large Company] look forward to continuing development on [Product that will be shuttered in two years].

Sideproject I’ve been throwing my tokens at: gtajs.wtf It’s a reimplementation of the 1997 Grand Theft Auto engine in JavaScript and WebGL. The project is not entirely finished, but since I am leaving on vacation tomorrow, I might as well just publish what I have — done is better than perfect 😀

🚀I wrote a random() thing 🤭 do check it out. When I first heard about random(), I had no idea what to think of it. So, this blogpost is actually me trying to make sense of it and hopefully, me documenting this can help you make sense of it as well 😊 www.smashingmagazine.com/2026/10/embr...

I was just at multiple conferences in multiple countries; it's so apparent that EVERYONE is processing their grief around AI. bradfrost.com/blog/post/gr... Also apparent is a healthy way of processing it is to come together & discuss it with vulnerability and nuance. This is what community is for.

Loved hearing @bradfrost.com compare AI adoption with the stages of grief on @whiskey.fm. Definitely went through them in the past 9 months. Still somewhat reluctant, begrudging acceptance.

don't be nice.

@cssday.nl would it be possible to select/targret specific columns? Like :nth-column(2)? Thinking about the column switching post-it example where the color changed per column.

YES, Dark Mode Toggles _should_ be a browser feature. I wrote about this before: brm.us/dark-mode-ov... Find the link to the Chrome Bug in the post, and hit the star next to it to "upvote" the bug. (I even have a prototype extension to provide this for you: brm.us/chrome-dark-...) #cssday

Hello @bram.us, could I bother you with what may be a trivia question? Why is it not possible to use @starting-style on a ::view-transition-new? My scenario is: I turned off the animation for the group and would like to have the new one start clipped at half the height, to make a div expand.

Being good at using LLMs includes 1. Being able to provide context and craft prompts that limit the risk of hallucinations AND 2. Having processes and frameworks to vet the quality of the output from the LLM instead of blindly trusting it.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

✨ I just published a new blog post! It’s a deep dive into a subtle UI detail from my blog. I suspect most people don’t even notice it, but I regularly hear from the folks who *do* notice it and want to know how on earth I’m doing it. Feels a bit like I’m a magician revealing their trick. 😂

✨ I just published a new blog post about a nifty lil’ animation technique: sprites! Sprites are used all the time in video games, but they’re less common on the web. We do have the tools to manage it in CSS, but there’s a gotcha. In this post, I share some of the cool use cases I’ve found:

HTML might be getting a new type of tag, which… hasn't happened this millennium. Here's the new syntax, and how it works:
