Designing Better CSS Box Shadows Easily

"A single shadow rarely looks natural.

Real shadows are layered: a tight shadow near the object, and softer ones farther away."

3 fundraising rounds in two months. Totally normal business things. Definitely not a bubble or anything...
Sources: xAI prepares a new fundraising round, its third in two months, targeting a valuation of $170B to $200B, up 10x from its May 2024 valuation of $18B (Financial Times)

Always loved CSS Tricks and their reference guides. Used the flex-box one so many times ❤️. Inspired me to try my hand at making my own cheatsheet for animation-range.

See what the 6 values get you so you can pick without having to test each one. Hope it helps!

@dbushell.com I like your popover glossary cards. They're nicely done. I mostly consume your content via RSS so I miss out most of the time.
