2025. I’ve been building websites for over 25 years! I’m an optimistic type, yet I can’t help but feel uninspired in the popular direction of our field in this moment. There's still meaningful work to do here to be sure, but the driving trend to automate every creative step has become rather... sad.

A hack to detect if someting is overflowing is to add a Scroll-Driven Animation to the element.

See www.bram.us/2023/09/16/s... for details.

tl;dr when there is no overflow, there is no ScrollTimelime, so therefore the attached animation is inactive.
Solved by CSS Scroll-Driven Animations: Detect if an element can scroll or not
Leverage Scroll-Driven Animations + a Space Toggle or State Query to selectively style an element based on it being scrollable or not.

gentle reminder it’s okay to stare, in wide-eyed inescapable terror, into the infernal maw of reactionary, nerve-twisting poll coverage today.

it’s fine to stay logged on and chained in place as the swelling jet engine roar renders your cogent thoughts indecipherable. embrace thy coming fate

What’s the play when you’ve been building a scaled up design system with a team of 6 beautiful people for the past 3 years, only to have the blood hungry machinery of capitalism reduce the team to 2?

What would you stop supporting?
