Hey 👋
Welcome to this week’s Unicorn Club. If you’re as fascinated by those subtle CSS discoveries as I am, don’t miss Chris Coyier’s journey into animation-composition and stacked transforms. It’s a good reminder that sometimes the ‘aha’ moments come from just digging into how things actually work, not just following docs.
Spot something interesting this week? Hit reply—always happy to share the best finds from the community.
Enjoy the read and have a great week!

A handy use of subgrid to enhance a simple layout
Subgrid in CSS is really handy for getting a nice level of design detail in place, especially in terms of maintaining a nice reading line, as Andy shows in this article.
