I always forget what properties are available now so I've written a quick post to put them all in one place
Underlining links with CSS

"When the market is this many layers of fucked, we’re lucky that we have alternatives. By using, supporting and contributing to nice products built by nice people, we can go some way to making open source a viable and sustainable model in whatever future in which we find ourselves."
A nice run-down of open-source tools for designers, via @piccalilli.
"[...] the first few months of planning the course revolved around breaking out of the Figma ecosystem and putting as many free and open source tools to the test as we could. Now, the fact this article exists shows that we succeeded on that front, but what I honestly didn’t expect was that the experience would be so good (and honestly quite liberating) that I’d actually be switching my whole design setup to free and open source tools."

@simon_brooke chastened. Thanks
@urlyman We've all been there. In more than thirty years of #WebDesign I've written some horrible things myself. I now deliberately separate layout styling and colour styling into separate files, to simplify reskinning colour. But really, if you're using more than a dozen colours on a page, WHY?
#CSS should be simple!
I visited a popular #OpenSource documentation site this morning, and the glare almost blinded me.
Folk, in this day and age, if you run a website, there is NO EXCUSE for not implementing `@media: prefers-color-scheme(dark)`
But, I thought, this is open source! I can submit a pull request to fix this!
Reader, there are ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR distinct colours specified in three different syntaxes.

I don’t know what a media query is.
I am hardly an expert at this, however I did the free code camp responsive web design course during lockdown in 2020/21.
IIRC a media query is used to take the screen size and apply specifc attributes (such as font size) according to the size (in pixels) of the screen.
https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_mediaqueries.asp
Clearly a desktop / laptop screen is a lot bigger than a tablet or mobile.
It should be possible to resize images, much easier with svg as they are meant to scale.
Hope this helps

Hopefully someone can help with this.

Hey #webdev folks, I've decided I need to update my #css and #html skills. What are some good online resources to get me up to date? Ideally open and free given their open and free nature ☺️
For context, I've been cobbling HTML together since about 1997 and CSS not long after. My practices are probably outdated (but work, damn it) and I've been spoiled by builders and graphical interfaces over the years.
Thank you!
