This is a nice little monthly update on the support status of various features, from the Web DX community group. And it has an RSS feed!
🥳 Cascade Layers have been supported on all major browsers for 30 months! (That's the criteria used for 'widely available' in Baseline)

Starting in 1hr (10am PT) @npub1n00…0sgz and I will be Winging It live!
We're talking about #CSS grids again – starting with a mockup and some HTML (which I haven't seen yet), and talking through our process as we write the code.

The CSSWG as agreed to publish a first Working Draft for Masonry layout – with the two major proposals merged where possible, and otherwise presented side by side. Most of the differences are syntax only.
Here's the Editor's Draft that will be published:

As a collaborative artist, I wanted to push back on the idea that creative teams need a strong leader.
Collaborative process is a skill that people study and practice. Most teams aren't trained in that skillset, but they could be.

Style queries and scope are the two that I don't really try to get away with yet. I just know they are missing support in a whole browser.
But light-dark is much easier to put behind a feature query, so I've been playing with it a lot in my side projects. I've been putting color-mix and oklch behind the same query even though they have better support, and then provide a fallback based mostly on browser defaults.

2024-08-07 22:30:25

:has() is at 94.41% of tracked global browser support. That's pretty good. Cascade Layers are at 96.3%.
oklch at 93% (with issues)
color-mix at 91.18%
CSS Nesting at 90% (if you're careful)
@ scope at 84.83% (0% Firefox)
light-dark() at 82.7%
custom property style queries at 73.49% (0% Firefox)
There's no magic number, and a lot we can do with progressive enhancement – but these are some of the recent #CSS features I reach for most often, and wish they would Just Work Already, Please.

I'm going with plain CSS imports, no concatenation – at least for now. But I wrote up some of the other options I've considered for:
- Breaking out #CSS partials
- Importing them into cascade layers
- Concatenating the files, if needed
Using either #Sass, or #Eleventy with WebC:

- I like CSS partials
- I like layering partials on import
- I like avoiding build steps
The simplest option is:
<style>
@layer reset, config, etc;
@import url('reset.css') layer(reset);
@import url('config/colors.css') layer(config);
@import url('config/sizes.css') layer(config);
@import url('config/fonts.css') layer(config);
@import url('default/type.css') layer(default);
/* etc… */
</style>
But I have a decades-old fear of 'too many' imports. Is that a real, modern concern?

When I have time, I want to add a page of links to other web artists. Not just in the CSS space. Who do you like?

I'm presenting some of my digital art projects this evening as part of The Enthusiasts at Buntport Theater (https://buntport.com). Come by to hear people talk about their side projects and obsessions!
To prepare, I launched https://webart.mia.wtf, and finished two of the projects that were half-built:
- https://men.mia.wtf (started in 2017)
- https://nsa4.us (started in 2014)

🥳 The CSSWG has agreed on a (tentative) plan for gamut mapping colors!
There's no perfect answer for this, but based on my experiments so far (turn on the 'css gamut mapping' flag in production chrome) this proposal is a lot better than the current channel clipping behavior.

CSS has a powerful set of distinct layout systems, each with different strengths and constraints. Join me later this month to demystify #CSS Layout, and get the most out of the language!

1. A folder full of images
2. Add #eleventy
3. Loop over images to create pages
4. A static image site!
5. ???
6. It's easy to add/edit alt text & captions now
What's step 5? A markdown file for every image? That sounds painful. A single json or yaml file mapping images to metadata? Maybe better? Could get out of hand. Some very simple CMS? Other ideas?

I'm teaching a new #CSS layout workshop at the end of June – a three-session deep-dive into…

- intrinsic & extrinsic sizing
- when to use flexbox vs grid
- media & container queries
- layout contexts & 'normal' flow
- and so much more…

For the last 4 years, I got to spend most of my time on #CSS specs. I had a lead role in cascade layers, container queries, & scope (all shipping) – now responsive type & mixins/functions.
I hope to keep at it, but this is open-source work, and (like many others) my funding was suddenly cut this year. So I’m looking for sponsors.
For now, [@OddBird](https://front-end.social/@OddBird) will fund what we can. If you or your company would like to help, you can also support that work through Open Collective: https://opencollective.com/oddbird-open-source#category-ABOUT
