While working on her Poetic CSS video course, @miriam.codes created a little demo to imagine CSS without inheritance. Read her thoughts and play with the demo in this month's issue of OddNews.

Looking forward to learning about CSS scope and mixins from @chriscoyier.net with @miriam.codes and @stacykvernmo.com on Winging It Live- tomorrow at 1 ET.
We're excited to have @chriscoyier.net with us on the next Winging It live stream, to talk about CSS Scope (now Baseline newly available) and Mixins (in progress). Hope you'll join us for the conversation!

Anchor positioning is now available in Firefox! If you've been holding off on learning it, now is a great time to dive in. Sign up for my free email course to learn how to use this powerful tool today.
Last January I started a series asking questions about type sizing & spacing on the web. When web dot dev asked me to write about the current state of fluid type, I came prepared with graphs. I hope this is a helpful TL;DR for thinking about responsive type in #CSS:

We'd love your help by filling out our 5-question CSS survey! tally.so/r/QKoaEY
When I resize the browser, I'm managing space. When I zoom in, I'm trying to re-size text. Those are very different goals, but look identical in CSS.
Using vw or at-media: bigger px == fewer px. If we mess with font-size for one, it applies to both:

Dialogs and Popovers are super useful for making layered UIs, and Baseline features simplify the implementation. Great article from fellow @oddbird.dev David Herron.
I'll be Winging It Live with @meyerweb.com and @jamessw.com tomorrow, to talk about anchor positioning β which is now behind a flag in Firefox, and live everywhere else. Join us, and bring your questions!

There are many goodies that are newly and widely available in Baseline. backdrop-filter is so much fun to work with and I am obsessed with AVIF images and the ability to animate from display: none with @starting-style. And how easy is it to lazy load images now? web.dev/articles/bas...
Anchor Positioning is in Firefox 145, released today (but behind a flag)! To celebrate, join me, @miriam.codes and Eric Meyer next Thursday for Winging It. We'll be discussing patterns that are emerging and rough edges that are still getting worked out.

- Pagination or load more button?
- Click to open or hover?
- Truncatioβ¦
If you missed it, @sondrae.bsky.social and I chatted with
@clayton.social.coop.ap.brid.gy about how to solve some of our current UX challenges. We also gave some free design advice and discussed what grinds our gears as designers.

By the time you finish this email course, CSS anchor positioning will likely be Baseline Newly Available. So, the best time to start learning was about 3 weeks ago, but the second best time is today.
The next Winging It show is all about bad UX design patterns. @claytondewey.bsky.social from Dev Collaborative will be joining @sondrae.bsky.social and @stacykvernmo.com.
