Change the content on your page based on the light level in the room using the Ambient Light API. You can play around with the sensor.illuminance value in the pen to switch at different levels.

Qantas flights from Perth to Sydney return are over $1000 economy atm! 😬 in comparison to Virgin that’s like $700! Why!?!

I was just looking for a resource for something and started reminiscing about the @smashingconf I went to in 2019.
That was such a great event! 😄

Is it documented somewhere how the different browsers map font weights? I’ve been doing some googling and not come up with anything useful
Eg if there is no 500 weight does it load 400, 600 etc?

In Firefox, when it underlines the font in use in dev tools if you have a -apple-system or BlinkMacSystemFont or ui-sans-serif it will underline the generic one at the end eg sans-serif (this happens even if you change sans-serif monospace but it will still be sansserif) - why?

It works fine if it’s system-ui but the issue here is system-ui might not always be sans-serif right?

It feels like it’s actually loading the system font but Firefox is getting it wrong?

common question I'm getting:
how to disable scrolling the page behind a <dialog>?
answer: with :has!
```#css
html:has(dialog[open]) {
overflow: hidden;
}
```

The last 2 weeks have been the worst of my life. 1yr old was in hospital all last week with RSV - my husband & I both got sick as well. having a child in hospital sick is horrible we made it worse by neglecting our heath to focus on her (understandably) Now we are still very sick

This is wild! What you see here is a CSS-only range slider that automatically adjusts the tooltip. 🤯
It's Chromium-only because it relies on @property, scroll-driven animations and anchor-positioning but the CSS future is bright, friends!

There are a lot of people with the "flex works good enough" mentality. A lot of them learned to get flex to do most things because it was the only option they had at the time, and then they dole out that advice to others 🙃

Not sure if I’m in a bubble or if more people are in fact moving away from SPAs!
