Bad at CSS

Are you bad at CSS? Well... we all are. The Bad at CSS podcast is hosted by Adam Argyle and David East. It's not meant to be anything special or formal. Grab a beer or your favorite beverage and give us a listen (or a watch) to discuss all the difficulties and intricacies of CSS. Sometimes there might even be an awesome guest.

  1. We need better design tools. Mattias Ott tells us why.

    SEP 12

    We need better design tools. Mattias Ott tells us why.

    Web design tools are great but they still fall short of all the incredible intrinsic based features of CSS. While there are features like auto-layout in Figma, they still fall so short of all the content driven features of The Web. Why is it that we still try to paint pretty pictures in a design tool and act like the web works that way? We can't control every details of what happens when our website is loaded on different devices over different networks and across different user preferences. Mattias Ott joins the show to discuss why design tools have fallen behind CSS and the mindset and skills we need to progress in our web designs.

    Eric Meyer and Estelle Weyl wrote 1000+ pages of CSS... we had questions

    CSS: The Definitive Guide is exactly 1126 pages, written by Eric Meyer and Estelle Weyl. As they both said, "We read the CSS spec so you didn't have to." We ask them a ton of CSS questions and they gave us a ton of CSS answers.

    14 CSS talks covered in 1 hour — CSS Day recap

    Apologies for the audio only upload. There were issues with getting the video feed published but check out YouTube for the video. CSS Day put on 14 different talks about some pretty interesting topics in CSS. It ended up being almost 12 hours of amazing CSS content and we're going to give you an overview of each talk in just an hour. We're going to talk about how design tools are falling behind with CSS, which I'm starting to really believe more and more every day. We'll cover How Tailwind CSS isn't at all like inline styles and this talk was brave. Then there's incredible font features in CSS, like seriously these ones are unreal. And also the magic of Anchor Positioning... to be honest I still barely know this one is. And so many other great topics so, let us be your guide.   Links * CSS Day - https://cssday.nl/2024 [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXdsN0YyX1ExeC1jaHNkSFcwSWJ0eGk5VnM2Z3xBQ3Jtc0tsWWhud01IMU5WRXFxUkZXT19jdVRRMEEzenVxbWFtUEppaFktRHYyWS1UMW0wM1R3dW56cTFmcjByeGE5dmxNSjl4THNXZmdtZi1oTmVfdmhSLW9fVVRKQnpnaUluQ3Y1Mkk5dE8wMkp2RlkxUU9NQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fcssday.nl%2F2024&v=4q8vaapHC1A] * CSS Day Playlist -  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjnstNlepBvO0-I7iwqpkOY_fwAop6Pl- * Bad at CSS - https://x.com/badatcss [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbFB6OGNRS19CYm8weUdEQ3licHVHZldzakpGd3xBQ3Jtc0tuSHNBME1ERkRDM29FYnVCVDRBOXVST2dsVFVhWWpPdGl0UTJQb3p4cVVheDlybjRzbzc2STJybTBPcWItX0phd29Da01Cdlh4WkxSZkUtSW5URkF1TExtY25JdjhvVGx3VVp5eUhiS0poRDdrSUgtRQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fbadatcss&v=4q8vaapHC1A]  * Adam Twitter - https://x.com/argyleink [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqazJZNU9fZGJTZWJkemNzMDIteDRkQjlXZHl2d3xBQ3Jtc0ttbkZpbkZyNHlTQktsMTVrRmRoYUR3Y3FhbE9PNWpnOHA3bng3Ql9NSGlsYUlscUhYZTM2SGU0Q0pnbE0zVzZYTDRzWHZqOFZkbzl6VHZrT0FjZ2gwc3NCaWF0anJXa1N5YnJzX1VoSEkzcmRianFDVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fargyleink&v=4q8vaapHC1A]  * David Twitter - https://x.com/_davideast [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUFKSWpvLXluOXJZTS0yc2paTmhid3NQSjFmZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuUDlfVjZfeEozV2JzMFpPc0hIdkR0azM5MVo2dFRqWmZneXpVZ0NuRlZTQktkM2NuY2lmY1JLcUR4YV9TVnZWamVQM3ZydVJRVEMwaDYtSlpVVkF1OVhBT2lGamVxaVRqYXFPcXRXZGh0Zmg5S080bw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2F_davideast&v=4q8vaapHC1A]

  6. Container Queries: Everything you need to know

    MAY 24

    Container Queries: Everything you need to know

    Container Queries are one of those CSS features everyone is so hyped about and with good reason. They give us a modern way to build and scope responsive components based on the size of the parent element rather than the browser view port. But, I'm not gonna lie. There's a lot to this new feature.
