Remember the days of web design when you could tell users what size of monitor to get for your website

Richard Rutter helps you to make sense of list-style, list-item, ::marker, counters(), counter(), @counter-style, symbolic, symbols(), symbols and more to push your HTML and CSS lists to the next level. piccalil.li/blog/an-in-d...

I've been on a bit of a social media hiatus, but I've written a new post about something that's been on my mind a lot lately localghost.dev/blog/stop-ge...

I made this "ad" for one of Cursor's recent features. It finally solves the terrible problem of knowing CSS.

Spending 4+ hours on Sunday afternoon writing a blog post (https://chrismcleod.dev/blog/my-changing-media-landscape/) only about 3 people will read? Sure, why not? It’s the blogger’s dilemma 📌 https://chrismcleod.dev/notes/202602011724/

you’re right! it feels mostly awful to Go Online™, these days. the internet in a sad state, for reason after reason after reason. but there is a way to fix it; to trade the voidful howling for a quiet & joyful song. here’s how to win the war for the soul of the internet, and build the Web We Want.

You've heard of OkLCH? Get ready for: OkLrCH. codepen.io/eeeps/pen/bN... (The little 'r' improves lightness gradients across the SDR range.)

CSS is so powerful now, it's amazing looking through older CSS and seeing what can be replaced with a one-liner. I'm on the hunt for snippets that used to be multiple lines of CSS that can now be done in one. Show me what you got!

📣 The next #eleventy-meetup will be on November 18th 12pm EST! In this episode, we have the templating wars from the two newest, hottest templating languages. @harris.social.coop.ap.brid.gy will walk us through WebC, and vrugtehagel introduce us to Vento. All details: 11tymeetup.dev #11ty

Sometimes, the right use of ARIA can improve your UI for end users. 🎥 Watch @hidde.blog's excellent talk on both the good parts and common pitfalls of ARIA, delivered at Pixel Pioneers Bristol 2025: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuTh... #throwbackthursday #tbthursday #a11y #accessibility

Just added lightbox-like gallery dialog navigation and opt-in submenu functionality to Eleventy Excellent! github.com/madrilene/el...

This is where I explain how I built the search index using @11ty.dev for the ⌘+K search on my website: arielsalminen.com/2025/buildin...

It's #CSSNakedDay! www.lenesaile.com/en/

wow what a website leanrada.com 🧡 the goal is to be this cool

I extended my experimentation with the CSS holographic effects, now with 7 new images and gradients ✨ The effect doesn't work on iOS Safari, so I've attached a video too 😊 #CSS

Making websites smaller has tangible effects on the environment. “Shaving off a single kilobyte in a file that is being loaded on 2 million websites reduces CO2 emissions by an estimated 2950 kg per month.“ www.dannyvankooten.com/blog/2020/we...

444 stars is a really nice number! I never expected so much interest when I first published this starter, but then again, @bell.bz's underlying CSS system is just fantastic! github.com/madrilene/el...

New website for my friend Eimear, executive and team coach. #BuiltWithEleventy — of course! eimearsweeney.com

This talk by @bell.bz is gold imo As a freelancer, you're expected to slot into an organisation and keep things moving with minimal friction. Keeping your head down and plowing through will only get you so far though and, to do great work, you have to prioritise planning & communication over coding

Big lad has captured the exact thousand yard stare I had when I still worked in an office

Got up early to get things done, then spent that time searching for the source of an error that wasn't there yesterday, and that of course I introduced myself first thing. Should have just stayed in bed

My phone broke and now I have forever lost the 100+ browser tabs I had kept open "for later". The upside: now I can finally start all over again

Just released Eleventy Excellent 4.0! Now using the Eleventy Image transform method, cascade layers, a new color system. More in the blog post! eleventy-excellent.netlify.app/blog/elevent...

o, and what unutterable joy it is to build a Website! to spiral with arms outstretched in the technicolor fields of figma, casting rectangles and text boxes, rounding corners and corners again

new year, new website :) with thy surest steel gathered to thy side, turn to face these new nightmares, these...True Terrors (of the New Dark Web) plenty to do but i'm thrilled to publish this 🤍 thanks a lot if you end up taking a look, but hark! go heedfully: scroll with caution & with care!

Had some time this morning, so I went and finally read all of the #HTMHellAdventCalendar entries available. So many small and valuable knowledge pieces, thank you @matuzo.at for collecting them again. Looking forward to the 24th!

With e-invoicing becoming mandatory in the EU next year, I'm currently building a small invoice and customer manager with Eleventy - I've never enjoyed writing invoices more! I'll make sure to share my learnings in an article next year.

how can it be that i am only now becoming aware of `vector-effect: non-scaling-stroke;`? So useful!

Finally had a free moment over the holiday break to mess around with some creative code ideas. I hacked on this little Web Component that outputs a shimmering pixel effect when its parent element is hovered. Read the post and check out the demo: ryanmulligan.dev/blog/pixel-c...

It's December 1st, and you know what that means: For the next 24 days, we'll publish articles about HTML by 24 authors. You can read them on the website or subscribe to the RSS channel. Enjoy! htmhell.dev/adventcalend...

In case anyone wants to hear what someone who has completely lost the fucking plot thinks about the HTML <bdo> element. heydonworks.com/article/the-...

I'm at an event watching a screen reader user and dev navigate an Austrian online shop (billa.at) and explain how they order groceries online. My main takeaways: - proper headings and landmarks are essential for navigation - skip links are super useful 1/2

This article by @ericwbailey.website on @piccalil.li is incredibly useful. It’s exactly how I prefer CSS articles to be written: starting with a problem, including clear illustrations, and offers a practical solution. Highly recommended 💯 piccalil.li/blog/making-...

Just want to spend my days making cool bits of code for cool people

Performance is a key aspect of the user experience 🥲

Alright gang you asked for it, here's a new #WebComponent for you… <bluesky-post>, a standalone component to embed @bsky.app posts, with their metadata, on any web page

CSS' `:has()` pseudo-class is powerful stuff, and even moreso when you combine it with classic techniques like quantity queries and a mobile-first mindset. I wrote about it for @piccalil.li! piccalil.li/blog/making-...

A new web project of mine is published! It's a pleasure to work with the folks at Data Bene, and with @11ty.dev of course, as always. www.data-bene.io/en/

A blog post about what is likely the biggest @11ty.dev news in our project’s history — and we need your help! www.zachleat.com/web/independ...
