Do Websites Need to Function Exactly the Same on Every Platform?
While we’ve accepted that websites don't need to look the same everywhere, we seem to be stuck on a new hurdle: the idea that websites need to function the same everywhere.

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

Web history disappears when it can’t be preserved. Today, many publishers are blocking the Wayback Machine from archiving parts of the public web, putting decades of digital history at risk. Tell publishers: don’t block the #WaybackMachine Sign the petition ➡️ www.savethearchive.com/newsleaders/

#tinyCSStip I like shorthands, I find them immensely useful. But it doesn't always make sense to drop it all in the shorthand and having repetitions. Yeah, you can store that `.2s` in a #CSS variable. But is it really worth it if you're not even using it elsewhere in addition to not being dynamic?
.nay { /* ❌ DON'T ❌ */
  transition: 
    color .2s, 
    padding .2s
}

.yay { /* ✅ DO ✅ */
  transition: .2s;
  transition-property: color, padding
}

#tinyCSStip We can have boolean logic in container queries! And this works cross-browser! Live test on @codepen.io: codepen.io/thebabydino/... More info on @developer.mozilla.org: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W... #CSS
.container { container-type: inline-size }

.item {
	background: #335c67;
	
	@container ((width > 220px) and (width < 388px)) or (width > 580px) {
		background: #e09f3e /* this WORKS cross-browser!!! */
	}
	
	/* equivalent to: *
	@container (width > 220px) and (width < 388px) { background: #e09f3e }
	@container (width > 580px) { background: #e09f3e }/**/

It happened again: update 6 lines of CSS in an older website project == wrestle with Node, nvm, outdated package versions, Gulp, gulp-uglify, gulp-terser, and other stuff just to deploy this tiny change. All that over-engineered short-term magic is so wildly inefficient in the long term. 😂
