Handy for when you’re working with CSS libraries such as Tailwind. import cc from 'classnames-components'; // using arguments const Header = cc('h1')('font-sans', 'text-3xl'); // using an array const Intro = cc('p')(['font-serif', […]

Positioning Text Along a Path with CSS
Michelle Barker has used CSS Motion Path to align text along a path: The “Motion Path” name is a little misleading, as it doesn’t only relate to movement. In fact, although the specification still goes by the name “Motion Path”, the property used to define the path was changed from motion-path to offset-path. It’s easy […]
