Proud to share the first pre-print from the lab!!! 🎉 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@devongovett This is one of the few things I really miss from the sass days. Looking forward to using it!

Really excited about this. I’ve often wanted to manipulate colors programmatically over the years (ala SASS). Happy to see this finally standardized as part of CSS Color Level 5. w3.org/TR/css-color-5/ Lightning CSS already supports color-mix() too, btw! 😄

@pawel_handle @threejs @googlechrome I saw this in the wild and was very impressed, both with the quality of the rendering and the amount of coordination it must have taken to accurately show the plan of the shelf based on the user input. Great work!

@fregante @jensimmons The hope is still alive!

@sidp @jensimmons It’s been 10 years 🥲 Hopefully we’ll see it at some point.

While I’ve got your attention about all the amazing new CSS shipping in browsers this year (which includes :has, Container Queries, subgrid & so much more)… let me ask: What do you need added to CSS next year?

@jensimmons Very strong YES on this one! I've been craving it ever since Adobe's proposal and polyfill came out

I recently read the Text 4 spec, and now I can’t stop thinking about `text-wrap: balance`. Apply it to text, like a headline, and the browser wraps that text in such a way that each line has about the same length. (See image to see result.) Do you want browsers to implement it?

@jensimmons Fantastic! Very happy to see container queries becoming a reality. The Safari team seems to be on fire lately.

I love seeing the green boxes appear. Yes, Safari Technology Preview now has Subgrid and Container Queries on by default. webkit.org/blog/12522/rel…

Big sigh of relief for both loading=“lazy” and scroll-behavior. I’m looking forward to throwing out all the workarounds for these in a while.

Since :has() showed up in the technology previews I’ve found a surprising number of situations where it would be handy.

So much good stuff in new Safari. - loading=“lazy” - :has() - new viewport units - :focus-visible - fixes accessibility for display:contents - scroll-behavior webkit.org/blog/12445/new…

@tryglass I would love to test it!

🖥 We’re sending out our first alpha invites for Glass for the Web in the next few days! glass.photo/highlights/our… Reply here to get on the list of folks we’ll share it with over the coming weeks.

Is it possible to migrate from #Strapi v3 to v4? I know a migration guide is coming during Q1 but if anyone has any experience I would be interested to hear about it.

@frontenddude Thanks! Glad you like it.

@sidp Nice work looks great 😁

@seldo Thanks for putting this down. The topic is so polarizing, and I appreciate the open-minded take. I am genuinely interested in where crypto/web3 is going but find it difficult to see past the hype.

It got me thinking, and in fact it got me thinking so hard I wrote 3,500 words about crypto: seldo.com/posts/crypto-t… TLDR: I think crypto *will* change the world, for the better. But not in the way its proponents believe.

This is the single smartest thing anybody who's into crypto has ever said to me about it.

Eventually I hope it makes it in CSS Overflow Module Level 3 #line-clamp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-3…

The -webkit-line-clamp property is widely supported, even by Firefox (despite the vendor prefix), and has been for a while. It's non-standard but hey, if it does what we need… developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…

I've been annoyed by how text-overflow: ellipsis requires white-space: nowrap, and thus has no way of working with multi-line text. Turns out I'm just not caught up on what's going on in this area. (Thanks, @TheDidrik!)

@wesbos I've found that TypeScript helps to communicate what's actually going on in JavaScript code, and I would teach it from early on. A JR dev does not need to know all the intricacies of the type system to get most of the benefits.

Here is an interesting question someone sent in for the podcast. When should a JR dev learn typescript? Can you learn it too early? Or can it help you learn JS? What do you think?

This is a big day for CSS. After 25 years of devs being told that CSS cannot have parent selectors because they’re too slow, Safari TP 137 not only implements :has(), but enables it by default. And AFAIK @igalia is working on a Chrome implementation! webkit.org/blog/12156/rel…
