Developing specifications for the CSS language @ the interwebz
I was invited to join the CSS Working Group to help develop the next level of Cascading & Inheritance – building on a proposal I made through Github.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are the design language of the web – allowing authors and users to attach style (fonts, spacing, filter effects, style animations, and more) to structured documents and Web applications. By separating the presentation style from the content, CSS simplifies Web authoring and site maintenance.
New CSS proposals like Container Queries, Cascade Layers, Scoped Styles, and Nesting are all aimed at improving the way we write responsive components and design systems.
I’ve spent nearly two decades learning, teaching, and writing CSS – as a founder at OddBird, a member of the Sass core team, and an Invited Expert on the CSS Working Group.

As I spend more of my time working on the CSS language, I wanted a place to take notes and explore new ideas in the open.
