CSS trig functions make wayyy more sense the way @monknow.bsky.social explains then, even to non-math-y folks like me.

He's put together explainers on sin(), cos(), and tan().

I do a terrible job highlighting recent work that's gone into the CSS-Tricks almanac.

A few choice samples:

Intent to ship for sibling-index() & sibling-count()!

You won't need to itemize nth-child to style things like staggered animations anymore 🥳

For example, I'd be able to clean up the angle position and animation delays in this demo: codepen.io/una/pen/Qwwz...

What are your go-to color functions? Is hwb() one of them? Why or why not?

Mr. @monknow.bsky.social was waxing nostalgic on the HTML5 & CSS Readiness project and decided to make a new one purely for newer web features.

Should be cool: the rainbow grows as features gain support! It'll be fun to take snapshots to see the progression.
