A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.

It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛

`corner-shape: squircle;`

is a very easy progressive enhancement if you want squircles with rounded corners as a fallback (the default today in unsupported browsers)

This November at the Annual W3C Plenary (TPAC) I'll be discussing "Custom Attributes" github.com/w3c/tpac2025.... I'd like to bring the same lifecycle hooks & subclassing of Custom Elements to attributes. I'd _love_ to hear if developers think this is a good or bad idea, and what they'd like to see.

In case you missed it, I wrote about the basics CSS Anchor Positioning.

🔗 ishadeed.com/article/anch...

Anchor positioning is not yet baseline, but you can use it in production with a polyfill - anchor-positioning.oddbird.dev (and in fact, we're using it on oddbird.dev).

If you're curious about anchor positioning, now is a great time to learn, and my email course will help you dive deep!

When you use position-area, you're actually creating a new containing block for your positioned element. Learn more about how this makes anchor positioning just work in many situations in my email course here - oddbird.dev/learn/course...

Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done.

I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

Hot off the presses! Firefox Nightly (www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefo...) adds the new :heading pseudo! Easily style all headings, or use nth-child-like AnB syntax to select a range of headings! Needs `layout.css.heading-selector.enabled` flag enabled. Try it out and let me know your thoughts.

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify the type of image: hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.
