With style queries now in all browsers, here's my take on the best way to do dynamic color theming with modern CSS: - Custom properties - light-dark() - contrast-color() - Style queries - Relative color syntax (^Features available in all modern browsers) Read about it ⬇️⬇️ una.im/modern-css-t...

One of the most powerful tools in my toolbox is SVG. When combined with CSS and JavaScript, we can do some truly remarkable things. ✨ 📝 I’ve just published a brand-new blog post that covers the most critical fundamentals. It’s chock full of interactive demos. 😄 Check it out:

View transitions are mind-blowing. The absolute trivial amount of JavaScript it takes to make this shuffling effect work is astounding. I mean, I actually spend more lines *changing the background color* than I do moving elements around! 🤯 codepen.io/collinsworth...

Moving squares on a grid with view transitions

Just a fun experiment with `startViewTransition`. I realize this could all be done with less JS, but playing around with the API was the whole purpose....

The html date input works well up to a point. It unfortunately isn’t versatile due to the lack of format control beyond os locale. The unstylable calendar also makes it a bummer for design systems.

Rob DiMarzo @robdimarzo.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

The path to date format hell is paved with good intentions. Ideally date input should conform its format to user locale or app preferences.

Rob DiMarzo @robdimarzo.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

🚨ATTN Design systems designers: Don’t force datepickers on users. Datepickers are great for selecting dates nearby today’s date - like scheduling a meeting, booking a hotel, etc. But for all other dates - like birth, financial, expiration dates, etc - typing is the ideal experience.

CSS grid-area is awesome, but something about it has always felt off to me. Outside of some basic use cases, I’ve found it awkward to use, read, and maintain compared to grid-row and grid-column. Grid-area truthers, what am I missing?
