There are a LOT of ways to do this, but what I'm sharing in today's video is super simple, straightforward, and automatically responsive!

I remember how excited I was when border-radius became a thing... If only I'd know what would eventually be possible with it about 15 years later 😅

@cbolson.bsky.social has made a handy generator for it: www.corner-shape.com
