There is a lil’ UI detail on this blog. Most people don’t even notice it, but the ones who do often reach out, asking how on earth it works. It feels like it defies the rules of CSS! In this blog post, I’ll break down the surprisingly-straightforward implementation so you can start using this trick yourself.
✍️ New post: The Shape of Friction
I wrote a short blog post reply to @davatron5000’s recent post (👏) about generative AI, friction, and people.
Try the latest `<color-input>` concept:
⚓️ anchor() progressive enhancement
🤖 workers for color compute
🙈 new animations & interactions
🎨 gamut boundaries, mapping, stretching
☯️ contrast scores
& much more
Well, I have now been quoted calling SpaceX "fuckweasels" in a real publication by real journalists: https://au.pcmag.com/ai/116598/spacex-to-start-small-with-1-million-satellite-plan-pushes-back-on-critics
I guess I am proud of myself? (They are, indeed, fuckweasels, for their complete lack of care for the atmosphere that we all depend on, as well as not caring about Kessler Syndrome, or light pollution, or smashing people on the ground...)

It is incredible to me that stuff like this is possible now with a few lines of #CSS only.
See it live: https://grooovinger.com/notes (on screens smaller than ~1000px the year is inlined without an animation though)
In a significant win for smaller browsers, the open web, and the 🇪🇺EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), Google has agreed to place the browser selected through the EU browser choice screen directly in the Pixel homescreen hotseat (replacing Chrome).
Remember when Yahoo! recorded live music and put it online? lol nobody does, but I'm still glad I got to see The Mars Volta for free (I managed to get into the show via MySpace too!)
