An overview of what makes modern CSS so awesome.
I wish there was a comprehensive resource for CSS. I’ve known for a very long time that I don’t know the half of it. But randomly clicking through the MDN topics has a very [Edit:
lowhigh] cost to benefit ratio. Where do you learn about the gems of CSS without getting bogged down by the obscure topics liketext-emphasis-style?Josh W Comeau is a great resource to understand CSS.
CSS Tricks I don’t visit regularly, but have occasionally seen neat examples. I presume someone less experienced or more “see by individual or small examples” finds it more useful than I.
:root { color-scheme: light dark; --text: light-dark(#000, #FFF); --bg: light-dark(#EEE, #242936); }Hmm, I guess the advantage of that over
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { /*set different values for variables*/ }is that you can set the color scheme via a button much more easily then.
Had to think about that for a moment, because the old way of doing things seemed fine, but that is a pretty good reason, I guess.
I bookmarked another post from this community that might relate nicely!
It’s time for modern CSS to kill the SPAHaven’t gotten to trying all the cool css stuff in my own projects yet, but it certainly sounds interesting :D
And there is also https://plainvanillaweb.com/index.html that teaches how to replace js frameworks with what modern browsers offer right now.
- you’ve never needed javascript
TSMT
That’s great and wonderful, except some of those things don’t work on an iPhone. As long as Apple is holding back the industry, we’ll have to use JS for some things.
Or just say fuck them and refer them to Apple customer service when they start complaining since it’s an Apple issue not platform issue.
Do you work as a web dev? Flipping off 20% of your user base doesn’t exactly land you jobs.
I’d guess a large portion here are hobbyists, and I’m totally fine with showing 20% of random people the consequences of their choices, as it has no actual impact on anyone, and a lot of professionals have to adhere to company standards, so going JS-less isn’t even an option anyway.
random people the consequences of their choices
These random people aren’t aware of the consequences of their choices and shouldn’t be punished for them. But at the same time, Apple needs to feel some pressure. But I doubt that regular users are going to go to Apple’s customer service and complain about sites that aren’t working on their phones. People just don’t do that. It’s a tricky conundrum.
Yes, why is Apple still tying Safari updates to iOS’s in 2025? Android’s WebView can be updated from the Play Store.
