Neat. Love little #CSS updates like this (even more if it's widely supported).

There’s a new type of CSS scroll-state query coming: “scrolled”.

This one remembers the last direction you scrolled into, which you can use to build “hidey bars”: when scrolling down (or having scrolled down), the hidey bar hides itself. When then scrolling back up, the hidey bar reveals itself.

meow.camera is an "alt viewer for feeders from the Hello Street Cat / JieMao (街猫) app."

In other words, you can view live stream of cats (mostly from China). 🐱 You can even take screenshots.

Reminds me of Web 1.0 days with webcam experiments.
