That era was when resets such as normalize.css came about and saved us all heaps […]

Flexbox Holy Albatross with CSS Grid
In succession to The Flebox Holy Albatross, Jonathan Snook wondered if he could recreate it using CSS Grid. ℹ️ To recap, with the Flexbox Holy Albatros a layout goes from either all items stacked next to each other (e.g. all horizontal) to all items stack on top of each other (e.g. all vertical): There’s no […]
CSS Logical Properties and Values, the next Step of CSS Evolution

Animated CSS border-image (using an SVG)

Logical Operations with CSS Variables CSS Custom Properties
Going beyond Binary Conditions for CSS Calculations, Ana Tudor takes it to a whole new level by introducing the logical operations (and, or, nand, nor, not, and xor) to CSS — all built on top of calc() Very often, while using switch variables, I wish I could perform logical operations on them.

RE: Overengineered packages?
ℹ️ This is a reply to Johan Ronsse’s post “Overengineered Packages?”. Be sure to read it first. After having posted about the class-names package, Johan turned to Twitter to state that the package overengineered. In a follow-up blogpost he argues that: At the moment I feel like it’s only invented because of a deeper problem: […]
class-names – Conditionally join CSS class names together
One of the packages I’ve been using a lot is classnames, a simple JavaScript utility for conditionally joining classNames together. Recently I stumbled upon @sindresorhus/class-names, a likewise package whose usage is very similar. import classNames from '@sindresorhus/class-names'; // Think of these like props of your React component … const props = { type: 'success', small: […]
