Sarah Dyan was introduced as being "very brave" for coming to #CSSDay and talking about utility-first CSS!

I agree but I'm happy to listen :)

My biggest grievance with tailwind in particular is how it's cemented breakpoints, while going fluid feels much better.

It may just be that there's a lag between what CSS can do now, and what surfaces through tailwind and other utility first frameworks.

I dunno 🤷

I guess I think utility styles are a good tool that can be used alongside normal CSS.

I always think that when trying to distinguish the language being spoken when it's quiet or not clear, you can tell it's English because of all the sss s s ss s sounds.

It's totally compounded at CSS Day hahaha

Lol thanks Mastodon/Phanpy/Google keyboard - it's trying to translate the hashtag into German ßßß 😆

Aaahhh yes @rachelandrew is going into the problem of placing content in CSS grid, and having it confuse the visual order Vs DOM order, tabbing order, screen reader order.

reading-order-items (CSS Display Level 4) might help. It's in drafting stage. Here's hoping 🙏

Not all possibilities included in pictures attached here, see more at https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display-4/#reading-order-items

Dude. Feel like I'm back in my old engineering maths lectures 😵‍💫

(I say this with love, @matthiasott. Indeed CSS is a programming language)

Re alt text - will add more code specifics later, sorry! Thank goodness for editing, thanks Mastodon 🦣

Good thing I didn't drink last night!

Hope my brain is ready for the CSS (Constant Synapse Stuffing) it's going to receive today.

Nice venue, though. Now where's the coffee?

I am breakfasted. It has begun. @adactio is running through all the important stuff.

Ok if anyone is following me for livetooting - don't! Follow the hashtag. There's lots already and they're faster than me!

But if anyone needs alt text for an image that has none, tag me underneath and I'll do my best when I'm not trying to pay attention to a talk 💜

@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

Synapses fully stuffed already no thanks to @matthiasott. How many times can a mind be blown? Asking for a friend.

Brains are amazing. I just drank two alcohol free beers but in a bar with music and good company and now I feel a bit drunk, haha

veterans - does it make sense to get a travel card thing for 3 days in Amsterdam or just tap on, tap off the public transport? Or should I hire a bike?

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@matuzo I think the hotel is a good 45 mins walk, I have little legs and value sleep 😅

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@anarodrigues when do you arrive? Or already there?

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@anarodrigues I've just taken in with my phone for the first trip to the hotel. Might just stick to that 😅

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@jensimmons I'm definitely going to consider renting one from the hotel tomorrow... I ride a lot at home :)

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@jensimmons incidentally I also rode a borrowed bike around CPH during a swing dance event I went to years ago - it was great 💜

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@Anneke yep that's what I've done :) albeit with the phone

I'm hoping the Deutsche Bahn deities smile on me today and that I make my connection at Osnabrück.

Amsterdam Ho - See yous later!

@zersiax hope so!

Made it to the hotel! Tell me you're in the Netherlands without saying you're in the Netherlands:

Got a proper Nederlands welcome from @hdv who treated us to bitterballen and introduced a yummy alcohol free beer 😋

A can of the tasty alcohol free IPA by Vanderstreek called Playground - a very colourful and playful design is on the can.
