Sarah Dyan was introduced as being "very brave" for coming to #CSSDay and talking about utility-first CSS!
I agree but I'm happy to listen :)
My biggest grievance with tailwind in particular is how it's cemented breakpoints, while going fluid feels much better.
It may just be that there's a lag between what CSS can do now, and what surfaces through tailwind and other utility first frameworks.
I dunno 🤷
I guess I think utility styles are a good tool that can be used *alongside* normal CSS.
Big oooohhhhhhhhhh moment, "what can my font do?" - https://wakamaifondue.com
I needed someone to say it out loud apparently 😆🤦
Ooh. @stephenhay is speaking of constraints feeding creativity as people try to push the boundaries.
He's about to talk about rounded corners! Exactly. We spent so much effort making corner.gif or shadow.gif for table layouts, then CSS updated and made it easy, and rounded corners & shadows fell out of fashion 😅
The same is happening now with Masonry layout. People have done it with JS - I have a feeling that as soon as it becomes available via CSS, it'll be uncool because too easy!
Doors at 08:30 🥱
Good thing I didn't drink last night!
Hope my brain is ready for the CSS (Constant Synapse Stuffing) it's going to receive today.
Dude. Feel like I'm back in my old engineering maths lectures 😵💫
(I say this with love, @matthiasott. Indeed CSS *is* a programming language)
Re alt text - will add more code specifics later, sorry! Thank goodness for editing, thanks Mastodon 🦣
Ok if anyone is following me for livetooting #CSSDay - don't! Follow the hashtag. There's lots already and they're faster than me!
But if anyone needs alt text for an image that has none, tag me underneath and I'll do my best when I'm not trying to pay attention to a talk 💜
CSS
is
a style sheet language
that allows the **intent** of the **designer** to be communicated to a **browser** that **executes** on it
Not only @fantasai's talk today is reinforcing for me that "web design" is not dead.
We are not unicorns. Front end developers, once web designers, can and do *design*. We can! We do! We design with code, or in code. It's not unusual. Why the silos?
We need a box before we can think outside of it.
CSS gives us tons of boxes, it's all boxes! And people are definitely doing amazing things with it.
Thank you for an excellent day 1, #CSSDay 🧡
