Anyway, they've been in my closet for years, and it's time to set them free. I don't use block-notes, but...others do? They're post-it sized, cute, and—important!—emblazoned with the Superior Pattern™ (grid of dots).
Donate to @fujocoded.bsky.social to save both the environment AND the web today! 😂

First vs last post.
"This," as they say, "kills the man."
If you know someone (maybe you) who's really reliable and could do a good job mimicking my voice for some kind of reasonable fee/bartering, please save me, my crops are dying. 😭

Was going to stream work on the store for Friday's launch but my cat bit me as I fought to remove a waffle from her mouth, so it's off to get antibiotics instead!
Anyway, buy our HTML/CSS/JS learn-along pack so I don't feel bad about missing a day of promo 😘👇💖

Was up until 5AM yesterday to wrap this up, which means I accidentally forgot to shout out the extra versions I added:
1) Only syntax comments, quicker to read
2) Syntax-highlighted to open in your browser, for those who might not have access to it otherwise!

The new split (paired with reordering individual rules to build a better progression and narrative) really helps create those very important natural breathing—and sometimes skipping!—points.
You can't keep flexbox from being a meaty chunk to digest, but you can set a nice table (of contents)

For example, here you can see the difference between the Table of Content for the CSS pt.1 after yesterday's revision vs when I started. While the content was already written, the order and progression of the topics felt overwhelming—partly unavoidable, since it's *a lot* of important concepts.

Haven't been keeping people *quite* as informed about progress on this as I intended for our ~accountability push~ 💪🌟, but in my defense this is what the more accurate todo list turned out in practice
...but it's also a perfect representation of the level of care put in the learning experience 👩🏫✨

Torpedo'd my morning a little so today's progress will have to be later in the evening (hopefully), but I am pretty proud of this content warning I added. It's also the perfect excuse to talk about "text-wrap: balance", "vw" units, and potentially* alpha channels in colors.

The rest of today will be dedicated to rearranging the individual CSS rules, adding or removing details. I already did a lot of fiddling while writing this summary!
The goal is to create a narrative flow where each step builds on the previous, balancing approachability with a nudge towards depth.

In this first pass of the final pass, I focused on the overall structure: one thing we only saw after putting words to bytes, is that the content is *long*. They're really comprehensive lessons!
So, I've been splitting each file in sections to help with overwhelm and give natural resting points.

We've already wrapped up the lesson content for the HTML and JS parts—a lengthy process since a) it's our first pack of this type b) it was planned by me, but written by github.com/riazaia!
What's missing is my final pass on our CSS to make language, formatting, and content the best they can be!
