Who is building an web app or website that is going back to basics? No meta JS frameworks, just HTML over the wire.
Today I relearned about the `will-change` CSS property. It helped me go from dozens of dropped frames to nearly zero! It even helps with pure-CSS animations, like this one: pic.x.com/EiNoft2YE6
This wonderful write-up from @bramus is a great summary of the state-of-the-art when it comes to animating `height: auto` (and other keywords) in CSS. I had never heard of `interpolate-size`! Very cool 💯 developer.chrome.com/docs/css-ui/an…
Discovered a super easy way to build circular progress bars with SVG that scale to any size! 😀 The pathLength attribute lets you normalize the length of a circle to 100. Then stroke-dasharray and stroke-dashoffset can be defined using percentages to create the progress bar. pic.x.com/nd9vwqsb3d
And you could do the whole thing without JavaScript 🤙 • Use the HTML [popover] API (nested) • CSS starting-style to transition open/close ⭐️ • Anchor positioning ⚓️ <button popovertarget="menu"></button> <div popover="auto" id="menu"></div> pic.x.com/qzwniy6onf x.com/raunofreiberg/…
Switching word combos on scroll with CSS 🖱️ main { animation: switch both steps(3); animation-timeline: view(); } @keyframes switch { to { --i: 3; }} .words__track { translate: 0 calc(var(--i) * -100%); } Result of a DM request 👇 pic.x.com/q77bl0c2sg
Quick CSS tip: if you want to select the nth element with a certain class, `:nth-child` supports an `of` syntax. 👏 pic.x.com/vms3srdx0d

Another beautiful customized select with a usable fallback 🧑🍳😘 This API is awesome 😊 Makes my heart full to see this finally moving along in the WHATWG and browser prototypes ❤️ pic.x.com/yseagerw1t
CSS challenge: I’ve been working for a solution for leaders via SVG backgrounds with lines + stroke-dasharray: codepen.io/leaverou/pen/b… It *almost* works great except: 1. Is f*cked for long items (see 4 + source comments) 2. Needs a way to adjust the gap so that it always starts… x.com/i/web/status/1…

Container queries are cross-browser supported now for over a year. If you're still worried about not supporting browsers, you could adopt a fallback solution via custom elements. 🫣👇 web.dev/blog/how-to-us… pic.twitter.com/aCMJho9rzl
🔥 It feels like magic, but the <details> element will automatically expand when a search result is hidden within. It’s so hard to get this stuff right with <div>s and JS. The platform is awesome. 😄 pic.twitter.com/RZCN8hGAF0
The subtle differences when creating a squircle 🧐 Use a generated CSS clip-path to get a finer shape 🤙 .squircle { clip-path: polygon( 100.00% 50.00%, 99.95% 62.53%, 99.80% 67.70%, ... ); } Went down the rabbit hole 🐇 pic.twitter.com/OoSBRjJAcI x.com/jh3yy/status/1…
Once again I’m in the same #webcomponents crossroads I’ve been many times before. My component (an editable <color-swatch> if you need to know) has an <input>. Ideally the input should be styled like other inputs on the page and be able to participate in form submission.… x.com/i/web/status/1…
limitations of web components
Use CSS relative color syntax to darken/lighten colors for borders, backgrounds, etc. 🔥 .success { --c: green; } aside { background: oklch(from var(--c) calc(l * 0.75) c h / 0.5); color: oklch(from var(--c) calc(l * 1.5) c h); } Magic! ✨ pic.twitter.com/uKC6wTkrUo x.com/JohnPhamous/st…
This has been my go-to monochrome palette for some time 💯 Has some great contrast between light/dark mode Bookmark for later 🤙 pic.twitter.com/ec1lWytvwh x.com/rehanxahmed/st…
Here's a quick Friday or weekend mini-project for you: why don't you spend a few mins to add Speculation Rules to your blog (or site) to quick speed it up?

With a bit of CSS, you can build a simple color picker out of a collection of radio buttons. No JS needed. Most of the time, our projects don't need a full-fledged color picker where users can craft any possible color. pic.twitter.com/FaINkg8gs5
I was fiddling around with css scroll animations a bit, but didn't know where to start... these are great examples to get started! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/ETmBqt27s1
