Style-observer: JS to observe CSS property changes, for reals

I cannot count the number of times in my career I wished I could run JS in response to CSS property changes, regardless of what triggered them: media queries, user actions, or even other JS. Use cases abound. Here are some of mine: Implement higher level custom properties in components, where one custom property changes multiple others in nontrivial ways (e.g. a --variant: danger that sets 10 color tokens). Polyfill missing CSS features Change certain HTML attributes via CSS (hello --aria-expanded!) Set CSS properties based on other CSS properties without having to mirror them as custom properties The most recent time I needed this was to prototype an idea I had for Web Awesome, and I decided this was it: I’d either find a good, bulletproof solution, or I would build it myself. Spoiler alert: Oops, I did it again

Taking RWD To The Extreme

Tomasz Jakut reflects on the evolution of web design, from the days of table-based layouts and Flash games to the rise of responsive web design (RWD), which often feels like the end of history in web layout.
