Chris’ Corner: The New Web Safe

by: Chris Coyier Mon, 24 Mar 2025 17:03:34 +0000 Back in the day I was a fan of the “Trebuchet MS” font. I didn’t like it large, but set fairly small I loved the look of it. Looked very website-ish — if that makes sense. Honestly, at 12px, it still looks really nice. The main reason I would use it is that it was considered a “web-safe” font, meaning most computers had “Trebuchet MS” installed and it would look more or less the same across those computers. On my latest-version macOS

Support Logical Shorthands in CSS

by: Geoff Graham Mon, 24 Mar 2025 14:06:19 +0000 There’s a bit of a blind spot when working with CSS logical properties concerning shorthands. Miriam explains: She ends with the money question, whether we can do anything about it. We’re currently in a position of having to choose between supporting flow-relative terms like block-start and inline-start with longhand properties and the ergonomic benefits of writing shorthand properties that are evaluated as physical terms like top, bottom

Quick Reminder That :is() and :where() Are Basically the Same With One Key Difference

by: Geoff Graham Thu, 20 Mar 2025 13:51:29 +0000 I’ve seen a handful of recent posts talking about the utility of the :is() relational pseudo-selector. No need to delve into the details other than to say it can help make compound selectors a lot more readable. :is(section, article, aside, nav) :is(h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6) { color: #BADA55; } /* ... which would be the equivalent of: */ section h1, section h2, section h3, section h4, section h5, section h6, article h1, article h2, article

Chris’ Corner: PerformanCSS

by: Chris Coyier Mon, 17 Mar 2025 15:57:00 +0000 How CSS relates to web performance is a funny dance. Some aspects are entirely negligible the vast majority of time. Some aspects are incredibly impactful and crucial to consider. For example, whenever I see research into the performance of some form of CSS syntax, the results always seem to be meh, it’s fine. It can matter, but typically only with fairly extreme DOM weight situations, and spending time optimizing selectors is almost certainl

Powering Search With Astro Actions and Fuse.js

by: Bryan Robinson Tue, 11 Mar 2025 15:26:10 +0000 Static sites are wonderful. I’m a big fan. They also have their issues. Namely, static sites either are purely static or the frameworks that generate them completely lose out on true static generation when you just dip your toes in the direction of server routes. Astro has been watching the front-end ecosystem and is trying to keep one foot firmly embedded in pure static generation, and the other in a powerful set of server-side functio
