CSS `random()`, now in Safari 26.2.

Play around with it while waiting for other browsers to ship.
Wasn't expecting how much fun random() is, it really opens up a ton of pure CSS creative possibilities.

Now you need custom functions, which combined with random() will enable all sorts of distributions, Perlin noise and more 😇

I think `animation-composition: accumulate` is gonna see more action with `random()`, as it's like "take what you already got as a value and augment it rather than replace it".

Here's a parallax thing where randomly-fixed-positioned stars are moved different amounts (with a scroll-driven animation)

Type-X is back! Easily test your fonts on *any* website with this Chrome extension.

This was originally published about 5 years ago, but stopped working due to browser evolution. Now it's fixed, updated and ready to go!

This has been in Safari since last year in version 18.2!
✨ New article ✨

Are we at the start of a new era?

Chrome 140 introduced CSS Typed Arithmetic. It might seem like a minor change, but I believe it's huge as it opens the door to countless new possibilities and a whole new era of Computational CSS.

What do you think?

There's something bothering me about engineering promotions. We assume good coders automatically make good leaders. Spoiler: it doesn't work that way.

I love CSS folks. They are soldiers of joy and delight. The world is burning and AI debates have people at each others throats and CSS peeps keep being like “check out this dancing turtle I made out of divs 🥰”

If you're having a bad day, you can search for "soruce" on Github and on your favorite open source projects.

I love #CSSDay. It brings together so many of the CSS Working Group to share talks on the newest CSS features being worked on!

If it wasn't for this conference, I never would have had the encouragement to join the working group last year. A huge privilege to be alongside these incredible people.

Styling HTML form controls is something web designers & developers have wanted for years! My team is working on a solution — apply `appearance: base` and switch to a new interoperable consistent default control. Then override it using new pseudo-elements.
