I've been caught by this before, and I've seen other experienced #CSS devs get stuck on it:
* { color: deepPink; }
html#high-specificity { color: teal !important; }
If we put that ID on the root, and some text in our document, what color will the text be?

Tomorrow on Winging It (live) I'll be chatting with @stacykvernmo.com & @jamessw.com about my approach to responsive type in #CSS – without third-party calculators or complex unit conversions – and some of the research I did to get there.
Join us at 10am PT/1pm ET!

Here are a few things I plan to cover in the Poetic #CSS course, but I'd love your input and questions! Where are you having the most issues, what piques your curiosity, and where do you have questions?
Feel free to vote for multiple in the replies, or suggest other topics & specific questions.
Popover element (incl. showPopover) is approaching 90% on caniuse.
Anchor positioning is at 79%.
Anchor scope is at 78%.
Two polyfills from @oddbird.dev cover large parts of the spec (incl. anchor-scope).
I started using it at work this week.
Responsive type doesn’t have to be complicated. @miriam.codes will show @jamessw.com and me how we can get great results from a few lines of readable code on the next Winging It on Thursday, February 19 at 1pm ET

It looks like style() container queries are enabled in @firefoxnightly.bsky.social - this is one of the features I'm looking forward to most. Especially with range queries starting to roll out.
@ container style(--progress > 80%) {
background: green;
}

Anchor positioning is undeniably awesome. What is missing from our awesome list? github.com/oddbird/awes...
While working on her Poetic CSS video course, @miriam.codes created a little demo to imagine CSS without inheritance. Read her thoughts and play with the demo in this month's issue of OddNews.

Last January I started a series asking questions about type sizing & spacing on the web. When web dot dev asked me to write about the current state of fluid type, I came prepared with graphs. I hope this is a helpful TL;DR for thinking about responsive type in #CSS:
