Powerful CSS Features You Might Not Know About

CSS keeps evolving, and the past year has brought some awesome updates that might have slipped under the radar. I’ll admit, I hadn’t been paying much attention to CSS lately, so I decided to catch up and write about some of the most exciting new features.

In my latest article, I take a closer look at these updates and explore how they can be applied to real-world projects using code examples.

• Centering a div with one line: No more struggling with multiple solutions.
• Animating hidden elements: Smooth transitions for display: none and beyond. (Finally!! 🎉)
• Simplifying dark mode styling: The light-dark function is a game-changer.
• Smarter form input styling: See how to use :user-valid and :user-invalid selectors for inputs.
• Adjusting fallback font sizes: Tackle CLS issues with font-size-adjust.
• Boosting page performance: Lazy-rendering with content-visibility.
• Type-checking in CSS: Add types to custom properties and learn how to animate them seamlessly. Each feature opens up new possibilities for building more performant, maintainable, and accessible websites.
