I've heard that CSS subgrid is difficult to progressively enhance – and I disagree! Here's how I create subgrid fallbacks with one small addition. youtu.be/2ESqkg20JaE Join my @smashingconf.com workshop for more maintainable CSS! smashingconf.com/online-works... #CSS

Last week's "The Joy of Being Wrong" by @emmabostian.bsky.social at @smashingconf.com Freiburg was such a lovely session! ❤️ So I tried my best to capture it my sketch note way. 🎨 My favorite learning is the "Learning Zone" and how to create the safe space needed for it. 🫶 #smashingconf

Fighting the post @smashingconf.com blues. Had such a nice time, spoke with so many like minded people and enjoyed that unadulterated positivity that has become quite rare. Even got a little star struck sharing a table with people who's tools I use and books I read. 😊 See you next year.

“It’s not a failure when someone doesn’t take your advice”. Lots to reflect from Joe’s talk. I’ve explored the “talking about risk” from the dev perspective but talking about fear and frustration is more complicated as that’s also part of company culture. #SmashingConf

Oh look 👀 it’s an oscilloscope that actually fits in a suitcase. I wonder what airport security is going to say when they see this thing going through the scanners. I just don’t have an room for clean clothes left in my luggage. But that is a price I am willing to let you pay. Smell you later! 👋🏻

CSS has changed dramatically in the last 6 years, but always building on core principles of resilience & design systems. Join me in October for a 5-day (3-week) @smashingconf.com workshop about how it all fits together, and how to make it work for your team: smashingconf.com/online-works... #CSS

Spotting Accessibility Issues Early — Online Workshops
Accessibility is not only a developer problem, it's team work! And many issues can already be spotted, prevented, and documented during the design phase. In this 1-hour webinar, Stephanie Walter will show designers and open-minded curious developers how to review mockups for common accessibility issues.

Since accessibility issues start in the design phase, catching them early is cheaper than fixing them in code. I'm running a free 1 hour accessibility webinar this Tuesday Sept 1, 2026 · 19:00. It covers how to check your mockups, documentation examples and you will get plenty of resources to help.

And @charismagic.studio convinced me to come to @smashingconf.com after all ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am so looking forward to that, after the conference dry-spell over the summer break. Can't wait - and finally also an opportunity to take the sleeper train back home. What should I talk about at the Jam Sessions?

🌍 Eva's talk is about the new i18n reality. She's covering QA workflows for the AI era, plus the very real problem of German nouns destroying your layout. She's also running a workshop right after the conference: Accessibility from Code to Compliance. 🏳️ Join us: smashingconf.com/freiburg-2026
Eva will join us in Freiburg in September.

🤝 Joe's talk names the thing everyone's felt but nobody says out loud: designers and devs both feel sidelined, both blame each other, and the actual problem is leadership never gave anyone clear goals. He hands you real ways to fix that. 🔥 Join us: smashingconf.com/freiburg-2026

🧠 Sarah's talk pulls back the curtain on the psychology quietly running the show — the invisible reasons people use, love, or ghost the things we design. Her whole point: AI or not, if you don't understand human behavior, none of the polish matters. ❤️ Join us: smashingconf.com/freiburg-2026
