Fun little blogging theme emerging this winter here. I like 🧠 galaxy-brain stuff the most. That is, ideas I haven’t seen floated anywhere else but make good sense. There is a bunch of stuff that we kinda just know we’re going to get this year, and while that stuff is aces, let’s push the thinking further.
- Manuel Matuzović: My CSS wish list
- 🧠:
visibility: visually-hidden;— shorthand for hiding an element from flow, and from being seen, but left in the accessibility tree as-is. Love it.visibilityalso plays nice with animation so that’s extra good.

- Dave Rupert: CSS Wishlist 2023
- 🧠:
[popover]— positioning an element relative to another without DOM placement restrictions would be awesome.

- Eric Meyer: CSS Wish List 2023
- 🧠:
grid-rules-columns: 1px dotted red;— styling grid tracks is a great idea because there is essentially no way at all to do this right now. I think I’d find styling grid cells more useful, but for that, you can always place an element in there and style the element so at least there is a possible way.

- Ahmad Shadeed: My CSS Wishlist
- 🧠:
@container style(wrap)— style when flexbox wraps, interesting!
- 🧠:
- Tyler Sticka: Tyler’s CSS Wish List for 2023
- 🧠:
text-wrap: balance— so a 4-word headline would balance two words to a line, and the like.

- Me: Things CSS Could Still Use Heading Into 2023
- 🧠:
::resize-handle— let me get my hands on that resizer!

This is fun! Let’s hear more from more diverse folks!
