Introducing 🤯 flex-wrap: balance 🤯 Would you use this? ⚠️ Not a "real" feature yet, just something one of our engineers has been working on. (You can try it out in the latest Chrome Canary with the experimental web platform features flag though!)

Thank you folks for attending today's meetup. It was wonderful to be back at it! We didn't circulate too many links this time in the chat, but @rachelandrew's presentation had plenty of links on the slides which you can find here: noti.st/rachelandrew/Aj6atb/

😍 PSA: ident() is an upcoming CSS feature I’m incredibly excited about and you're about to be too. It will allow you to compose CSS variable names from other variables, making code like this possible: 😍 Spec: drafts.csswg.org/css-values-… Proposal (by @bramus): github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/…
.accent { --hue: blue; --tint: 80; } button { --tint-darker: clamp(10, var(--tint) - 10, 90); background: var(ident(--color- var(--hue) "-" var(--tint, 80))); border: 1px solid var(ident(--color- var(--hue) "-" var(--tint-darker, 70))); }

ALT .accent { --hue: blue; --tint: 80; } button { --tint-darker: clamp(10, var(--tint) - 10, 90); background: var(ident(--color- var(--hue) "-" var(--tint, 80))); border: 1px solid var(ident(--color- var(--hue) "-" var(--tint-darker, 70))); }

Dang I'm excited about new semantic attr() capabilities in CSS! I wrote a post about why this feature is so powerful, how it could change the way you build components, and how I would use it. Advanced attr() is rolling out in Chrome 133 starting next week 🥰 una.im/advanced-attr/

una.im | New capabilities for attr()

Advanced attr() is landing in Chrome 133, and I'm really excited for this feature! Here's a bit about it and how you can use it.

🔥 Remember Internet Explorer’s Page Transitions? THEY’RE BACK BABY! 👾 Demo: ie-page-transitions.netlify.… ⌨ Repo: github.com/bramus/ie-page-tr… To configure these, use the meta tags from the olden days + load up the library. Works in IE 5.5–7.0, Chrome 126+, and Safari 18.2 (buggy).

As of Chrome 131 you have more options to style `<details>` and `<summary>`. You can now use of the `display` property on these elements, and also use a `::details-content` pseudo-element to style the part that expands and collapses. developer.chrome.com/blog/st…

30 years ago, on Oct 10 1994, I first proposed CSS. It's been an adventure to see CSS as a baby, teenager, and aspiring professional. Sometimes misbehaved, but mostly a source of joy and excitement. w3.org/People/howcome/p/casc… @w3c @printcssrocks @WebDesignMuseum @prince_xml
