Hey, look who's here! Time to follow @shoptalkshow.com.

The @view-transition at-rule has two descriptions. One is the commonly used `navigation`. The other is `types`, one that likely envies all the attention `navigation` gets, but it opens up new possibilities for custom view transitions when navigating between pages. css-tricks.com/what-on-eart...

A few clever ways from @monknow.bsky.social to start using the sibling-count() and sibling-index() functions — or close to it — for things like tree counting, random values, and staggered transitions. css-tricks.com/how-to-wait-...

Digging @bell.bz here: "The path to becoming a great developer is more than just coding. It's down to how you approach everything else, like communication, giving and receiving feedback, finding a pragmatic solution, planning — and thinking like a web developer." css-tricks.com/the-importan...

Just one last post to wrap the year and thank y'all from the inset-block-end of my heart for helping kick life back into CSS-Tricks... css-tricks.com/thank-you-20...

People have been making their CSS wishlists for the new year! Some great ideas out there. Check these out: @nerdy.dev : nerdy.dev/css-wishlist... @css-tricks.com : css-tricks.com/a-css-wishli... Hey @kevinpowell.co , where's yours?!

I'm still looking to book in some fresh client work for 2025 www.alwaystwisted.com 🙏🖤

The `transition-behavior` property allows us to transition between discrete properties, such as `visibility`. While it doesn't make these properties interpolable, we can control when they change to better fine-tune the transition through its duration. css-tricks.com/almanac/prop...

The `@starting-style` at-rule allows us to define styles for elements just as they are first rendered in the DOM. The classic situation this solves is trying to animate an element from `display: none`. @monknow.bsky.social nails the examples. ⭐️ css-tricks.com/almanac/rule...

Cool looking #CSS tool. Didn't realize @css-tricks.com had a CSS “:nth” tester. css-tricks.com/examples/nth...

I created a “Women in Tech” Starter Pack! Highly recommend to follow these incredibly talented women. 💖✨ go.bsky.app/PNKtkEe (Feel free to suggest edits, of course!)

Web browsers are experimenting with HTML attributes — technically, “invoker commands” — designed to invoke popovers, dialogs, and further down the line, all kinds of actions without writing JavaScript. But they also come with new events that we can listen for. css-tricks.com/invoker-comm...

I’m really excited for the Complete CSS course from @piccalil.li to release next week — @bell.bz is a wonderful teacher and I've learned so much from his work. Early bird pricing is happening now! css-tricks.com/complete-css...

I know, I know, lots of start packs floating around but here’s one more purely focused on front-end magazines for keeping up. go.bsky.app/AvoDgoe
