Ok, we have a clamp() function. Take any value and clamp it between a min and max.

But what if we had an un-clamp() function? Take any value, and imagine if it was unconstrained. What value *could* it be instead, living it's best authentic life? No responsibilities - no mortgage, and no boss.

Let your CSS values explore their true passion with un-clamp().

@mia it doesn't help that my kids are into Wonderblocks which is an animated code learning TV show for littles where Stop and Go and Again (loops, naturally) are characters

@sarajw @mia That sounds awesome! I had no idea that existed.

@swiftone @mia it's relatively new! There are other worlds that have been around longer, like Numberblocks (highly recommended, my kids love them), Alphablocks, and Colourblocks.

@mia Ooh, great idea! I’ll put one right next to the unhash function in our misc/Utilities.h c++ library.

@mia Let *all* boxes be their intrinsic size, free from external constraints! The window is just a frame that limits the view!
Show threadMia (web luddite)Jun 20

@AmeliaBR ok, if we're going to spec this we'll need to be clear that the maximum intrinsic size is (clearly) *more intrinsic* than the minimum intrinsic size. It's right there in the name.
