Happy 30-month anniversary to Container Queries – shipping in every browser since February of 2023. It was supposed to be impossible, but here we are!

Are you positioning a popover with CSS anchor positioning and position-area? Make sure to override the default margins on the popover.

There’s a new stretch keyword that we can use for CSS height and width properties. But how is that different from 100%? And how is that different from 100vh when we want a full-height layout?

When I tried setting my browser font-size preferences, I found it broke more sites than it improved, and I quickly moved back to the default. So what went wrong, and how can we fix it?

Kilian Valkhof, Miriam Suzanne, and James Stuckey Weber talk about developer tools including the Polypane browser and other accessibility tools.

OddBird’s color tool not only checks contrast ratios, but supports the new CSS color formats and spaces.

I talk with Noel Minchow about the philosophy and evolution of web design. We explore CSS origins, the cascade, accessibility, and how the balance between user control and brand expression defines the spirit of the web.

Miriam Suzanne and Stacy Kvernmo answer questions from listeners about CSS – what the next big evolution for CSS may be, how to make a site more accessible, whether float is still useful, and what’s on their CSS wish list.

We have been busy updating the Popover and CSS Anchor Positioning Polyfills, but there is still more we can do with your help.

Learn how to declaratively add behavior to buttons with the Invoker Commands API. Join James Stuckey Weber and Miriam Suzanne for a live conversation with special guest Luke Warlow, Web Platform Engineer at Igalia.

OddContrast, OddBird’s color format converter and contrast checker, gets new features – including the ability to swap background and foreground colors, and display color gamut ranges on the color sliders. Contrast ratios now incorporate foreground color alpha values.

There’s been a lot of progress in the CSS Working Group lately, but I want to draw your attention to a prototype that landed in Chromium ‘Canary’ (v136+) browsers with the experimental platform features flag enabled. Author-defined Functions are coming to CSS, and you can start to experiment with them…

I chat with Bruce Lawson about all things CSS. We geek out over the latest and greatest features like Cascade Layers, @Scope, Mixins, and Container Queries – exploring how these features impact web design.

We’re trying to make progress on shorthand syntax for CSS logical properties. But the path forward depends on where we hope to be a decade from now.
