It took a while (mainly due to the huge quantity of data collected on some questions!), but the #StateOfHTML 2025 survey results are now live!

Big thanks to @lea.verou.me who not only designed the original survey back in 2023, but then came back this year to update it.

CSS `random()`, now in Safari 26.2.

Play around with it while waiting for other browsers to ship.
Wasn't expecting how much fun random() is, it really opens up a ton of pure CSS creative possibilities.

Now you need custom functions, which combined with random() will enable all sorts of distributions, Perlin noise and more 😇

Followed up my post on Grid with a review of grid-template-areas. Short, sweet, and hopefully helpful 🤗 webkit.org/blog/17620/g...
Grid: how grid-template-areas offer a visual solution for your code
Using grid lines is a flexible and powerful way to place your elements on a grid, but, when looking at the code, it might be a bit hard to visualize.

There's a new #CSS Working Group poll to get feedback on different names for the infamous 'Pinterest' layout.

- Since it uses many of the grid-* properties, `grid` will be in the name somewhere
- We don't use metaphors in CSS names, so `masonry` is not listed here

docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Ex-Masonry Display Type Keyword Poll
See https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022 for context. This poll intentionally leaves out `masonry` as an option, see https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022#issuecomment-34172962...

Got thoughts about Web Push? So many web developers talked about it for years… and now I hear nothing.

Are you using Web Push?

Have you learned about Declarative Web Push?
