The progress() function is sorta like clamp() but returns 1 or 0. Combine it with calc() and you can get weird with it.

I have a new article up trying to make the perfect pie chart in CSS! There is probably a lot to improve, so a little feedback would be much appreciated

I was lucky to be a privileged tester of @codepen.io 2.0, and now they have released the Private Beta.

codepen.io/beta

It's finally time to unleash some cool "View Transition" demos because with the 2.0 version, we can have many pages in one pen 👀

Kudos to @chriscoyier.net and the entire team!

What if, instead of telling the LLM step by step how to do a task, we write those steps ourselves? 🤯

CSS trig functions make wayyy more sense the way @monknow.bsky.social explains then, even to non-math-y folks like me.

He's put together explainers on sin(), cos(), and tan().

Is it just me, or is the CSSWG drafts site loading without styles?

(E.g.: drafts.csswg.org/css-anchor-p...)

I do a terrible job highlighting recent work that's gone into the CSS-Tricks almanac.

A few choice samples:

- view(): css-tricks.com/almanac/func...

- ::target-text: css-tricks.com/almanac/pseu...

- shape(): css-tricks.com/almanac/func...

- sibling-count(): css-tricks.com/almanac/func...

Started writing something and then ended up with 5 new article ideas. The initial thing I was writing is still sitting there, unfinished, judging me from afar.
