CSS Day 2026, 11th & 12th of June, Amsterdam CSS Day is the conference for CSS designers, developers, spec writers, and browser vendors.

Well, CSS Day is live now ( https://cssday.nl ) and I've got a bunch of related things to do but unfortunately I'm ill and can hardly concentrate.

So the going will be very slow this time.

Proud to announce TechConf.Directory, a directory of tech conferences around the globe.

I've found it quite difficult to find conferences. That is true no more!

I've made all the data fully open and available via a fully queryable API as well.

I’m very happy to read that this year a new edition of Fronteers Dark Mode (www.fronteers.nl/en/conference/) will take place.

Last year’s edition was top notch. If you weren’t there, you missed out on something really really good …

Making a low-budget conference look high-budget using an ATEM video mixer and a long USB cable | Hello my name is Niels Leenheer Learn tips to make your low-budget conference look high-budget, creating a professional atmosphere without breaking the bank.

For organising Fronteers Darkmode we had a tiny budget. In fact no budget at all for AV. But thanks to an ATEM Mini Pro and a very long USB-C cable we managed to make it look like a high-budget conference instead of a meetup.

At #fronteers #DarkMode, @utilitybend.com proposed the <rangegroup> HTML Element.

It unlocks the multi-handle range slider, a pattern you might have already seen when picking a price-range.

Brecht @utilitybend.com talking about built-in component gems hidden in plain sight in all modern browsers, like popovers.

So many great browser APIs that are waiting to be used by frontend devs.
