“1 in 10 Americans think HTML is an STD”

Bold of you to assume developers get close enough to anyone to catch STDs.

One of the biggest problems with UI development is about to be solved!

Customizable brings allows us to create totally custom dropdowns with HTML and CSS.

Accessible, gracefully degrades and requires no JS!

CSS position: sticky, scroll-snap + progressively enhanced scroll animation 📜

li {
animation: bright;
animation-range: calc(50% - 1lh) calc(50% + 1lh);
animation-timeline: view();
scroll-snap-align: center;
}
@​keyframes bright { 50% { opacity: 1; }}

line-height units are a gift 🎁

Happy belated Thanksgiving!

It was my first ever. I don’t understand it but I’m loving the overeating. 🇺🇸🤘

I’m Irish so we only eat like that at Christmas 😅 Looking forward to the next one already. 👀
