Has CSS gone too far?

Yet Another Way to Center an (Absolute) Element | CSS-Tricks TL;DR: We can center absolute-positioned elements in three lines of CSS. And it works on all browsers!

A little gem @monknow.bsky.social stumbled into when working on something... we can center an absolutely positioned element with justify-self:

.element {
position: absolute;
place-self: center;
inset: 0;
}

He explains it nicely here:

Thanks for the feature!!

The progress() function is sorta like clamp() but returns 1 or 0. Combine it with calc() and you can get weird with it.

I have a new article up trying to make the perfect pie chart in CSS! There is probably a lot to improve, so a little feedback would be much appreciated

The CSSWG just resolved to add this to the spec 🥳

I was lucky to be a privileged tester of @codepen.io 2.0, and now they have released the Private Beta.

codepen.io/beta

It's finally time to unleash some cool "View Transition" demos because with the 2.0 version, we can have many pages in one pen 👀

Kudos to @chriscoyier.net and the entire team!

What if, instead of telling the LLM step by step how to do a task, we write those steps ourselves? 🤯

About to have CSS ANCHOR POSITIONING FULLY CROSS-BROWSER!!

Congrats Sunkanmi!

My last post on trigonometric functions just got published!!

Thanks so much to anyone who gave it a read :)

The second part on trigonometric functions just got published. 🧡

The first part got a lot of reads, so thanks so much! A third and last part will be coming soon 👀

CSS trig functions make wayyy more sense the way @monknow.bsky.social explains then, even to non-math-y folks like me.

He's put together explainers on sin(), cos(), and tan().

New one on CSS-Tricks!!

Talking about sin() and cos() here, but we'll get to the rest of trig functions later on ;)

Glad to see I am not the only one 🫂

Is it just me, or is the CSSWG drafts site loading without styles?

(E.g.: drafts.csswg.org/css-anchor-p...)

I can't express how awesome and supportive the CSS community is!! THANKS :)
