W3C CSS Working Group
Invited Expert: Developing specifications for the CSS language
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.
The official conversation for CSS language development happens on The CSS Working Group GitHub issues – but it’s useful to have a more open notebook for developing new ideas before they are ready for Working Group discussion.
My notebook is a public collection of markdown files that are also generated into a static site at css.oddbird.net.
