Unfortunately not pure CSS, but using an SVG filter to blur and set a threshold on the alpha channel looks surprisingly decent I think: codepen.io/Magns/pen/YP...
One of the things that we at Chrome have been thinking about is a way to do declarative route and navigation matching **in CSS**.
Together with @nomster.bsky.social and @dbaron.org I’ve been working on it for the past few months, and next week we’ll be presenting our work at the CSSWG F2F meeting.
The two Google #cssday presentations are on YouTube:
youtu.be/QA5f2loqtM4 @una.im about modern UI patterns
youtu.be/8FSLsVAJj2w @bram.us about view transitions.
The other videos will be published on Conffab in the not too distant future. We'll tell you when they're available.
I think in the next few years, human communities and the value of the handmade in certain areas will become more important, not less
We’ve actually seen this trend in art history play out a few times already -> highly mechanical gives way to the return of the “prestige of the handmade”
With style queries now in all browsers, here's my take on the best way to do dynamic color theming with modern CSS:
- Custom properties
- light-dark()
- contrast-color()
- Style queries
- Relative color syntax
(^Features available in all modern browsers)

I miss this team so much
There should be digital garage sales.
Unused fonts - $1 ea.
Unplayed video games - $3 each or 4 for $10
Bundle of online courses I barely even started: $50 OBO
When it comes to web stuff…
It’s one thing to have an idea.
It’s another to be able to build the idea.
It’s another to be able to explain the idea with words.
It’s another to be able to build examples that illustrate the idea and the problem it solves.
That’s quadfecta is difficult and rare.
The #cssday photos have been published and they are great. Love them.

But these... These made my day. These were taken during my talk and it makes all of the work I put into it worth it. ❤️
I’m seizing this moment, as I’ve already sent a selection of 10 bugs to our DevTools team for them to look at 😁
Which papercut bugs would you like to see solved? Send me your crbugs and I’ll forward them.
No crbug to point to? No worries: you can always file new ones at crbug.com/new 😉
The Chrome DevTools team are doing a "papercuts" sprint where they try to address lots of small, irritating bugs and annoyances.
Reply with crbug.com links (no bug, no fix—that's the deal!) and will see what we can do.
No promises though as some may be features/too big/unclear how to solve.
Inspired by @meyerweb.com's talk at @cssday.nl
I played with offset-path before, but somehow missed that we can use it with border-box and padding-box, making this so incredibly easy.
I need to fix up the code a bit as it's kinda messy, but you can see it here: codepen.io/editor/kevin...
Did you attend #CSSDay and saw my talk (or heard about it), and you really want CSS Grid Lanes to be supported across browsers?
➡️ Give this issue a thumbs-up *and* add a comment explaining your use case. This can help a lot move things forward 💟

In my talk for CSS Day, I had a slide of a comment from YT complaining about CSS overstepping its bounds now that we can do some logic-based styling directly in CSS.
Afterwards, @adactio.com came to see me to laugh about it a bit, because he was hearing the same thing when :hover was added to CSS.
TIL you can make it so that a client connecting with a specific SSH key can only run a single, specified command when connecting.
Am using this to make sure when I’m backing up stuff from my VPSs with rsync, the key can only do rsync.

this little article is sixteen years old today: alistapart.com/article/resp...
feels deeply weird that it’s that old. the pub date feels like it’s two lifetimes ago and two weeks ago, all at the same time.
If you don't have time to read it, the tl;dr is, if there are educational content creators you value, let them know.
They might write, make videos, or anything else.
Times are tough, and talented people are fading away. A few encouraging words from a real person can make a huge difference.
I want flow with grid-columns, and the ability to float-align into those columns, with text wrapping. like grid-lanes, but this time grid-flow.
