LOOK. This is just a regular ol' website. No JavaScript whatsoever. Navigation pages with clicks <a> links to other HTML pages. The most basic website in the world. Yet, with a few lines of code to activate View Transitions, KAPOW.

Code is here:
https://codepen.io/chriscoyier/project/editor/ZGxnOb

View Transitions don't work in iframes yet, so you have to see here:
https://000694252.codepen.website/

And you have to use Chome Canary and flip on the flag.

@keithjgrant you get the crossfade by default unless you've got an element with a unique view-transition-name on both the outgoing and incoming pages.

If you’re looking to have nested DOM elements all participate on the same CSS grid, you’ve got Subgrid, but that just inherits grid lines. display: contents; can help put the elements on the same parent grid. https://chriscoyier.net/2023/05/11/if-youre-looking-to-have-nested-dom-elements-all-participate-on-the-same-css-grid-youve-got-subgrid-but-that-just-inherits-grid-lines-display-contents-can-help-put-the-elements-on-the-same/

"I just need a really fast, really simple website."

My answer will probably always be: then code something up quick in HTML & CSS. Pleasurable and productive!

But I get that's not right for all. The "dead simple, drag & drop websites" of https://build.mmm.page/ is probably my secondary answer.

I’m not saying “they’re the same” I’m saying, somehow someway, babies and Snoop Dogg keep coming up with funky ass shit nearly every single day.

Neither Windows or macOS support High Dynamic Range colors in their native color pickers. Who will update first?! Race!

Signed,
— Some dude who just wants to pick some sweet colors in a Keynote.

Microsoft PowerTools docs saying "Currently Wide Color Gamut (WCG) and High Dynamic Range (HDR) color formats are not supported."

"It’s never been so easy to create incredibly polished mockups" says Erica Heinz, but it's problematic. For one, "people perceive more aesthetically pleasing interfaces as more intuitive or usable (whether they are or not)."

Modern.js https://github.com/web-infra-dev/modern.js

A new...thing? Tyler Mcginnis calls it "a giant mystery meat enchilada." Them:

• Framework (React, so like Next or Remix?)
• Module (A poke at Vite?)
• Doc (A theme for the framework, I guess)
• Builder (A different poke at Vite?)

Weird.

Errrrrybody gets KV storage!

Cloudflare did it (first?): https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/learning/how-kv-works/

Deno just dropped it... last week? https://deno.com/manual@v1.32.4/runtime/kv

Vercel dropped today: https://vercel.com/blog/vercel-storage#vercel-kv-a-durable-redis-database

It's a super cool way to store simple data to grab and act on fast. 🎉

I think I used margin-trim wrong there, I think you actually apply it to the parent.
