Here's the full hero section from my upcoming Prismic course... this one took the longest out of everything. It has to be *just right*.
The loose keycaps are in a group and I just scale the group up to make them fly away. Lots of fun tricks in this one!

Okay, gang, the next phase of the "askhole" AI behavior: people asking actual humans to TL;DR or rewrite everything for them.
Just had this interaction on LI with an AI-titled person and I just...
We're treating bots as humans and humans as bots. No. Nope. No.
Restart the matrix.

The backdrop not covering the status bar when opening a sheet on the web makes it feel... subpar compared to native.
So in Silk I baked-in the ability to blend them together by automatically dimming the theme-color in sync with the backdrop opacity.

For my fellow Firefox friends, we might see some eye candy eventually. 🎉
Honestly, missing view transitions drove me pretty close to switching daily browsers... so let's see.

#tinySVGtip Been using this forever, but don't think I've ever shared it here.
Easily create stripes along any direction in SVG!
✨ draw a line along that direction
✨ make it dashed
✨ make it much thicker
✨ no, not like that... I really mean much thicker!
That's it! 🥳🎉

I’m super excited about `text-wrap: pretty`. It does a lot more to improve typography than you might expect — at least in Safari Technology Preview 216.
It improves all lines of text, not just the last 4. It enhances hyphenation & rag, not just avoiding short last lines.

Support for text-wrap: pretty just shipped in Safari Technology Preview, bringing an unprecedented level of polish to typography on the web.
