Great release 💯 I just managed to reproduce a bug I've be failing to do in Chrome for a long time, simply because I've been trying to do it in full width! Panes are a really powerful way to quickly gain confidence that your thing works across multiple viewports.

Did you know you can right-click any element with an ID to get a link to the document fragment? And just as easily have it formatted as markdown?

One of the many things that takes dozens of steps in other browsers that takes two clicks in Polypane.

Don't have chrome canary with experimental platform features set up?

Don't worry, also works like a charm in @polypane.app ;)
🚀Do we like scroll-driven animations? yes! Do we want scroll-triggered animations? Also yes! Would it be cool to combine them? Ow hell yes! And that's just what I did in this year's Valentine's article, enjoy! ❤️❤️

It's quite lengthy, but also contains some hot tips 🔥

If you tried installing a VPN or proxy extension into Polypane, can you tell us why?

It happens a lot and it's a use case we really want to understand. We follow back, so you can DM if you prefer 🙏

When working on your own site in Polypane, you probably want to exclude your visits from your analytics tool.

We made a list of analytics tools and how do to that directly in Polypane or in their settings. If your analytics tool isn't listed, let us know!

It's magical when products feel tailor made for you and "just work", that's how I'd describe Polypane.

It's the vibe I strive for with Be Inclusive too, so being able to easily jump from one to the other now is a full circle moment for me, so proud!

#SotB26 is 2 weeks out, get your tickets ASAP!
If you do any sort of accessibility auditing then

1. Polypane and Be Inclusive are now a killer combo for your productivity
2. You should probably get a ticket to SotB, They're sold out in person but still have online tickets available.

Did you know we wrote a deep dive on offset parents and stacking context? Two essential concepts when it comes to positioning in all three dimensions.

They're hard to debug, but not with Polypane! Contexts are just listed in our elements panel, easy peasy.

The CSS Selection already contained several links to Polypane, even before I decided to accept sponsors. Having @kilianvalkhof.com contact me felt like puzzle pieces coming together. Super stoked and proud!

@polypane.app is amazing.
I got the trial a couple days ago and it's already helped me fix a bug that's been on my backlog for weeks, and it was something that only happened on certain mobile devices I don't own to test on.
It was a breeze fixing it today.
I am definitely purchasing a license now.

Do you use Polypane to check for Accessibility? Jules Ernst maintains an overview of which WCAG SCs Polypane helps with, and he just updated it with all the latest features in Polypane.

An invaluable resource, thanks Jules!
