@mia It was great to have you seen at three conference in the span of one year. Thanks for the great talks! I also looked up the percentage-based influence values from the first CSS draft you mentioned at dinner: https://www.w3.org/People/howcome/p/cascade.html

Such an interesting concept. Perhaps it’s time to revisit some of those ancient ideas… 😄

At #CSSday I heard from someone on the Chrome team that it is possible that they will look into #CSS linked parameters. For example, for passing them into #SVG.

Do you need this too? Are you tired of bundles with hundreds of inlined SVG icons as jsx?

Write about your use cases! Either here, or in your blog. Mention this in https://stateofcss.com/ in the “Shapes & Graphics Pain Points” section!

Also, read my article from the start of this thread if you'd like to learn about this (and more).

I just realized that today is #CSSYesterday.

Thanks for the great time at #CSSDay— it is the best conference (along @btconf).
Have a great time at @css__cafe

@kizu Same thoughts. See you next year m!

Amit Sheen is going to build a CPU in CSS now. Yeah… I mean… why not, right!? #cssday

Styling form controls will be SO MUCH easier in the (hopefully not so far) future. Tim Nguyen demonstrates examples from the CSS Form Control Styling Level 1 specification draft (https://www.w3.org/TR/css-forms-1/) #cssday

@xro @shadeed9 @matthiasott There are SO MANY features of the web platform that simply cannot be adequately reproduced in other environments. Which is ok. I would like to see a mindset (and knowledge!) in the design process that allows a spontaneous switch to the appropriate platform (CSS) if necessary.

@matthiasott’s fantastic #cssday talk has just been published: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su6WA0kUUJE if you do frontend stuff for the web, or design for the web (which is _frontend stuff_ 🙂): you should check it out!

@freshmango @shadeed9 @matthiasott I feel this deep, deep in my bones. I love CSS, and seeing Figma kludge around it to make it a UI-copy feels so alien to me.

So, so true. The gap between design tools and the possibilities of the CSS based web platform is
getting bigger year by year. @shadeed9 at #cssday. (Reminds me of @matthiasott‘s talk last year https://cssday.nl/2024/#matthias)

“Redesign is coming” – @brad_frost and Ian Frost at #cssday.

Anyone using a headless printer to browse? 🤪 #cssday

Having a lovely time at #CSSDay - thank you all for following me into the weeds of value resolution!

My slides & demos are online: https://slides.oddbird.net/mixins/cssday/

Implementing column-span is challenging (https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/11474). It could lead to many unwanted layout issues. @rachelandrew: “If something terrible happens, it should at least be spec'd so that the terrible thing happens the same in every browser.” #cssday

Actually, this isn’t an accurate summary of #cssday. This is THE event to attend if you love (and live) CSS. It's not often that CSS is discussed so seriously. So good that CSS is given the prominence it deserves here.

Would it be weird if I put on my sunglasses? 😎 #cssday

Summarize #cssday 😉😭
