Staggered zigzag layouts usually turn into brittle flexbox hacks that wreck DOM order. Here is how CSS Grid plus a translateY transform gives you a stable waterfall effect, including the gap math and the overflow fix.
A look at the experimental CSS corner-shape property for building folded-corner effects without clip-path polygons or gradient hacks, including how to add the bevel, shape the crease, and fall back gracefully in Firefox and Safari.
A leaner way to build scrollytelling: the scrollsnapchange and scrollsnapchanging events, the CSS and JS behind a Mother’s Day 2026 experiment, and where browser support stands.
Gutenberg 23.1 finalizes image uploads in parallel instead of one thumbnail at a time. It also adds an experimental taxonomy UI in the admin, Drawer and Autocomplete primitives, and a filter that hides the Classic block from the inserter.
Saturation is a correction tool, not a volume knob. How CSS saturate() actually paints, why the order you chain filters in changes the result, and the stacking context backdrop-filter quietly creates.
WordPress 7.0 stopped hardcoding which blocks support Block Bindings and Pattern Overrides. Support is resolved through a filter now, so any lookup table you were trusting is out of date. Also new: a native Accordion block and an Icon block.
CSS Values Level 5 adds random() and random-item(), which the browser resolves at render time. Why that beats Sass build-time randomization, PHP inline styles and Math.random() for scattered layouts and varying animation delays.
