Grid: how grid-template-areas offer a visual solution for your code Using grid lines is a flexible and powerful way to place your elements on a grid, but, when looking at the code, it might be a bit hard to visualize.

Followed up my post on Grid with a review of grid-template-areas. Short, sweet, and hopefully helpful 🤗 webkit.org/blog/17620/g...

For two of my closest friends, I've had a standing weekly video call for the last ten years (separately, not all three of us). In the early years, it helped establish our new friendships and that was how we got close. We talk in between calls too, but it's really helpful just putting it in the cal

What are everyone's thoughts on WebKit's `<input type=checkbox switch>` control? Is it something you want other browsers to ship?

Ex-Masonry Display Type Keyword Poll See https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022 for context. This poll intentionally leaves out `masonry` as an option, see https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022#issuecomment-34172962...

There's a new #CSS Working Group poll to get feedback on different names for the infamous 'Pinterest' layout.

- Since it uses many of the grid-* properties, `grid` will be in the name somewhere
- We don't use metaphors in CSS names, so `masonry` is not listed here

Got thoughts about Web Push? So many web developers talked about it for years… and now I hear nothing.

Are you using Web Push?

Have you learned about Declarative Web Push?

So happy to be in a relationship where I jokingly complained about not getting hit on in Florence, and my husband responded in a genuinely empathetic, “Yea babe, that sucks” 😂😂😂

CSS Grid: A helpful mental model and the power of grid lines Grid is a powerful, flexible tool that brings complex layouts to life.

Was surprised to see that, even though CSS Grid isn't a new feature, it's still high on the list of things devs find confusing, so wrote a post about it.

I focus on a new mental model I think is helpful. Let me know what you think!

I just learned web fonts have been supported for Initial Letter since Safari 18.4+. (Still prefixed, but before you couldn’t use a web font.)

Yay!!!

Have you used initial letter in CSS? Do you want to?

Position-area: Clear and explicit or short and sweet? When I first learned anchor positioning, I built a demo to help me figure out how it all worked.

Anchor Positioning has a way to declare where the item appears. Use the `position-area` property with pre-named areas! @saron.bsky.social realized maybe some of the names are confusing. Read more & help decide — should the names be changed?

Wrote up a short post on a new position-area value we're considering, and would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Which option do you prefer?
