Now we have text-box in CSS, understanding font metrics is even more important so you know what you’re trimming. This is a very handy little website that allows you to upload a font that you plan on using, along with a Google font picker.

Vertical Metrics

Testing vertical metrics typography across browsers.

Seeing #CSS carousels being promoted as accessible again, so here is a periodic reminder:

#CSS carousels are not "accessible by default" https://www.sarasoueidan.com/blog/css-carousels-accessibility/

They are still highly experimental and there are still many open #accessibility questions & issues being discussed.

+The browser will not do everything for you—you'll still have work to do, too.

Are 'CSS Carousels' accessible?

I forgot just how much I loved the simplicity yet power and flexibility of @11ty ♥️
@nichteric I can heartily recommend this video course by @SaraSoueidan -- https://practical-accessibility.today/
The Practical Accessibility Course

A get-right-down-to-it online course for Web designers and developers who want to start creating more accessible Web user interfaces and digital products today

Friends, where can I find an SVG version of the #HTML and #SVG logos?

And is there a "Web accessibility" logo that I somehow missed? maybe one that has been adopted by the W3C?

cc @Kilian since you have the HTML logo sitting next to the CSS logo in your blog post 🫶🏻

Here's the repo for the new logo: https://github.com/CSS-Next/logo.css?tab=readme-ov-file#an-official-logo-for-css

Here's an outline version of the logo from Killian https://kilianvalkhof.com/2024/css-html/an-outline-version-of-the-new-css-logo/

(I also remember seeing one more link to a similar logo asset somewhere but I lost that. Please share any more assets you might have in the replies!)

The story of how the latest #CSS logo came to be:

"Kind of Rebeccapurple" https://www.ondrejkonecny.com/blog/kind-of-rebeccapurple/

I had missed this writeup. It's been great reading it to get a short history of how the logo evolved into what it came to be.

So, I heard people are panicking because... an AI went offline and they forgot how to think for themselves and do their work without its assistance? Is this for real?

Really looking forward to Safari finally implementing support for `content` on `::marker` now that it is part of Interop 2025.

It's been long overdue.
