Have you been wishing masonry layouts would just hurry up and arrive in CSS?? Well, happy holidays!

Another small update to Wakamai Fondue!

I cleaned up the yellow in-site navigation bar, but more importantly, I added some config options to the generated stylesheet:

👉 Toggle `unicode-range` for your `@font-face` rule
👉 Produce dedicated classes for the variable instances
👉 Include `@supports` rules for newer syntaxes
👉 Make the CSS "namespace" optional

I might clean up the UI a bit more, but for now I'm happy with the dev power it gives you!

For spacing values on a website – is it better to respond to font-size, or available space, or stick with static units?

You don't have to choose! Sometimes the best unit in CSS is a combination – with calc()/clamp() or min()/max() or round() & other math functions.

I've been exploring different ways to interact with a user preferred font size. Could the max() function work better than a classic px-to-em conversion?

Along the way: How Best Practice ruined text-only zoom! 😬

Still thinking about units & type in #CSS …
