But seriously, you should most def give the Nord design system a look-see because the docs are seriously impressive—my go-to whenever I’m tasked to provide examples of how to build great design system documentation.

All the Deets on the Mighty Details Tag 🙌 @npub1ncs6...a6v8 over at #CSS Tricks has written a definitive guide on using <details>, a number of possible use cases, and some of the trickier aspects of styling it and even animating the opening and closing states. I’ll be sure to refer to this the next time I do #WebDev on a <details>-based feature!
Is it possible to write advanced theming #CSS with context-aware conditional code? As if()! 😉 @npub19405...zhyh shows us a glimpse of what's possible—just in Chrome Canary right now behind a flag, but here's hoping it gains ground soon. On a related note, us #WebDev folks are eagerly awaiting container style queries in Firefox! Can it happen please pretty please with sugar on top??
We Need to Talk About Anti-Web Coding Assistants It's time. We can't ignore this massive threat to the continuing health of this platform we all love. @npub1fs69...tlr3 has done a deep dive into what the bots think is the state-of-the-art of #WebDev and…uh, it's alarming. 😬 We can, *and we must*, expect better of the tools being thrust in our faces as the future of “whatever”. #ProCraft
Happy #Interop2025 day to all who celebrate! #WebDev #OpenStandards
