Brecht de Ruyte ( @utilitybend ) gave a fantastic talk on #cssday about stylable selects. Now he has published his fifth article about this topic and he still amazes me about the new possibilities that lie ahead.

I hope Mozilla and Apple will add those features very soon!

Für alle, die am Wochenende was Besseres zu tun hatten, als meinen Post zu lesen:

If you code websites, then you KNOW how it’s been to style form controls.

Watch this #cssday talk from @ntim.bsky.social to learn why it’s been so hard, and how we are going to fix it for the future.

A highlight of the last couple of weeks is that after my #CSSDay talk, Project Wallace, (one of the tools I mentioned in my talk) implemented analysis for spacing resets!

I love this

I love #CSSDay. As well as great talks, it brings together so many of the CSS Working Group to share the newest CSS features being worked on!

If it wasn't for this conference, I never would have had the encouragement to join the working group last year. A huge privilege to be alongside these incredible people. Thank you for welcoming me in!

Is anybody out there using absolute font sizes in their CSS?

I saw @chriscoyier use them at #CSSDay and was wondering if this built-in typographic scale is any good?

Big thanks to CSS Day conference for the kind invitation, such an honor to speak! My talk was on June 6, the first day of Eid Al-Adha

It was great meeting so many online CSS friends in person and left feeling even more excited about what’s coming in CSS and the web
