My favorite code to write is CSS. There’s something magical about taking a blank canvas and making it beautiful. Don’t let others shame you into hiding your true passion because it’s not deemed as “difficult” as other areas within tech. You do you ❤️💁🏻♀️
Native <img> lazy-loading is coming to the web! bit.ly/loading-attribute <img loading=lazy> defers offscreen images until the user scrolls near them. Shipping in Chrome ~75 bit.ly/loading-i2s
Brenda is awesome. Was part of the NYC CSS Layout Club from the beginning — figuring out Grid in 2016. Helping to shape the Firefox Grid Inspector. She knows her stuff. Watch this video! And follow @brendamarienyc
The CSS Working Group agreed this morning on adding many math functions. We now have:
• calc()
• min()
• max()
• clamp()
• sin()
• cos()
• tan()
• acos()
• asin()
• atan()
• atan2()
• hypot()
• sqrt()
• pow()
The face of CSS is rapidly changing.
My “Enough with the JavaScript already!” talk wasn’t about JS being bad, it was about HTML and CSS being good. If you can do something in just HTML, do it; if you can do something with just CSS, do it. Only when HTML CSS fails you is it time for JS.
I'm at @aneventapart Seattle today and talking about "Making Things Better: Redefining the Technical Possibilities of CSS". My slides, code and resources are here noti.st/rachelandrew/y8Vv8Z/…#aeasea
Some projects are ephemeral ✨ we love what @clarity_conf is doing for the community. May we all keep building new models inspired by each other; continuously reimagining a better web and environment for those that create for it. 💛
A few folks have mentioned to me that @clarity_conf has filled the void since @sassconf has not had an event in some time. I’m conflicted about this. I like the idea of carrying the torch for now (with hopes it comes back). But I don’t think anything can ever replace SassConf. 💕
