I've seen improved, or would like to see improved?
Honestly, I'm terrible at the "what is CSS missing" question, lol. It has so much good stuff now!
I would like wrap detection in flexbox though :D
This is a <select> so it wouldn't really help with that. However, a popover can probably do the job :)

The last 50k have gone so incredibly slowly I haven't been paying that much attention to the number until somewhat recently.
I also generally don't care about things like this, but suddenly I'm sort of nervous for some reason 😅
Will do a stream on Monday to celebrate 😊
Yeah, pretty incredible how terrible it's going.
Hopefully everyone was sandbagging, lol. It seems relatively close at the top. Closer than I expected with the big reg changes anyway.
Exciting! Request for developer feedback: focusgroup HTML attribute "a proposed declarative way to add keyboard arrow-key navigation to composite widgets such as toolbars, tablists, menus, listboxes, etc. Replaces hundreds of lines of JavaScript boilerplate." developer.chrome.com/blog/focusgr...
I figured they'd start the race to at least get some laps in to collect some data, but at this point, I'd be surprised if they even end up starting at all, which is pretty wild.
A custom prop called timing function, first with a value of ease, and then within an @supports, an updated version using a linear() function
Nested media ftw!
Makes me think of a @joshwcomeau.com post on here from a while back that looked at a similar idea with feature queries.
Something like this.
Please note that Chrome pushed an update, and
YOUR DEV CONSOLE (history) MAY BE READ BY HUMAN REVIEWERS.
Sure, console should never be treated as a secure env, but I still fucking hate this.
Amazing how we went from not being able to style selects, to doing things like this with them codepen.io/editor/cbols... (and this codepen.io/t_afif/pen/P...)
It's all good 😂
The 2026 F1 season is here 🏁
So I built another experimental custom <select> — this time featuring F1 drivers.
See the demo on @codepen.io
codepen.io/editor/cbols...
Just got confirmation there will be a 1 player mode so that people can play along while watching... just what I needed, the extra stress of potential failure against *everyone* 😅
Recently I've seen recurring mentions of "IBM research" that shows "fixing accessibility bugs post-launch is 25x to 100x more expensive"
That's *absolutely fantastic* marketing material, so I wanted to get in on that. First, I decided to look for the actual research.
You know where this is going.

That's a great question for the @syntax.fm crew @tolin.ski @wesbos.com @w3cj.com
I know they built the platform from scratch, so if they haven't already created that feature, they have a couple of days to get it done 😅

yeah... but isn't that the same case when the animation triggers it to go to from true to false? The custom property instantly changes, which triggers the if() to change the value of the scale, which is set to transition when that value changes.
CSS shape() landed in Firefox 148. It's similar to path(), but allows the full expressiveness of CSS…
This is fantastic.
It seems we can now customize the select element, right? right?!
Demo: codepen.io/t_afif/pen/P... via @codepen.io
At 100 attendees! And the best part of the conference is the people you meet, the community you're steeped in. (Or words to that effect.)

This is such a cool concept! Pitting F1 teams against each other, but based on their websites.
So now there’s the driver’s championship, the constructor’s championship, and the webmaster’s championship. 😄
Graph showing "Selector nesting depth". I have 547 flat selectors, 80 selectors that are nested 1 level deep, and 1 selector that is nested 2 levels deep.
I learned about Project Wallace (www.projectwallace.com) from @kevinpowell.co’s latest F1 video, and it's fun seeing the analysis for my own site!
I really try to avoid nested styles, and happily it seems like I’ve done a pretty good job at that. 😄
