Inspired by @pixelambacht’s great talk at #CSSDay, I tried activating all the beautiful “swoopies” for the redesign of my personal site using font-feature-settings: "cswh".
And clearly, @koeberlin’s NaN Tresor does not disappoint. 😍 Now, all I need is to have the guts to go with that quirky design… 😅
Taking the train from Stuttgart to Amsterdam tomorrow morning to get to #CSSDay won’t be a problem, right Deutsche Bahn? 😬
(I’ll leave home at around 5 am and have the whole day to get there so… 🤞)
About three weeks ago, I had the honor to speak at the 10th anniversary edition of #CSSDay about the most powerful design tool for the Web: the new #CSS.
The video of the talk is now up! 🎉
I hope you like it. And in case you do, SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON!!! 😁 (Am I doing this right, @kevinpowell?)
If you’ve watched my #CSSDay talk, you know that I couldn’t agree more to @piccalilli here:
“The thing to remember about learning HTML and CSS is that they are web standards and will long outlive Figma, Adobe XD and Sketch. At worst, learning to code will help you communicate with developers much better. At best, your design skills will be much more rounded and relevant in an ever-changing and expanding industry.”
👏👏👏

In less than two weeks, I’ll be opening the 10th anniversary edition of #CSSDay. (🤯)
The conference is sold out. But if you still want to watch all the talks live and participate in the chat, you can join the YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WebConferencesAmsterdam/
See you there! 🤗💚
I mentioned Atmos.style in my #CSSDay talk briefly. Currently, I’m trying it out again to create the #color palette for a redesign I'm working on. And it is really, really useful and convenient so far!
1) Import a set of base colors from your first layouts.
2) Use the shade generator to, well, … generate shades
3) Check color contrast and adjust the number of swatches
4) Export as CSS custom properties in Oklch and sRGB/HEX
🪄🙌
As more and more people are posting about their arrival in Düsseldorf for #btconf, #klassenfahrt FOMO is growing strong over here, as I won’t be able to attend this edition because of one of our kids’ birthday. 😢 (But also: 🥳🎂)
I would have loved to see and talk to sooo many of you! I really hope you’re having an incredible, wonderful time together! 💚 Maybe I’ll see a few of you at #CSSDay?
