Tomorrow on Winging It (live) I'll be chatting with @stacykvernmo.com & @jamessw.com about my approach to responsive type in #CSS – without third-party calculators or complex unit conversions – and some of the research I did to get there.
Join us at 10am PT/1pm ET!

Responsive type doesn’t have to be complicated. @miriam.codes will show @jamessw.com and me how we can get great results from a few lines of readable code on the next Winging It on Thursday, February 19 at 1pm ET

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.

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.

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.

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.

As we tiptoe towards anchor positioning becoming baseline with the upcoming release of Firefox 145, there has been a flurry of updates and improvements. Here's a few things you should know.

Thanks to William Killer (@dub@social.lol) for the PR and being an awesome open source contributor!
Anchor positioning is out in Safari, and I just played around with it in Firefox Nightly, where it's pretty darn close. Now is the time to learn anchor positioning!
