- Reposted by Mark RobbinsI made this "ad" for one of Cursor's recent features. It finally solves the terrible problem of knowing CSS.

- Reposted by Mark Robbins🎉 Live from the CSS WG F2F: We just agreed to support multiple borders and outlines per element, comma-separated! But we can’t decide on the order: inside out or outside in? What feels more natural to you, A or B? (it needs to be the same across borders and outlines or different box-sizing values)
- Thanks for the afternoon tea #LitmusLive. Will I be disciplined and save some of it for the conference on 11th-12th Feb, or will I eat it all before. Time to place your bets folks. Then register here to find out www.litmus.com/conference My session is on the 11th, 14:50ET / 19.50GMT

- Samsung mail has this really annoying bug where, if a user turns on the auto-fit feature, Samsung tries to force an email to be responsive. But more often than not, it actually stops the email being responsive 🤦 Well here's a way to fix that. customer.io/learn/mobile...
- Question for my #designSystem friends, what do you call this kind of label directly below a link? Is there a name for it, or is it just a label/description?

- Hey #EmailGeeks I wrote a little post on how to improve the accessibility for things like reverse stacked columns. This is an age old issue but thankfully some new CSS can help us fix it. Not much email client support yet but I think it's still well worth doing. customer.io/learn/delive...
- So big new, I’ve just changed my role at customer.io. I’m now going to be a Developer Advocate! Not to be confused with a Devouring Advocaat which I do as more of a festive pass time, this will be a full time job.
- Love this :D
- Ready for the first cool demo of the year? A mini Mario world with keyboard control. Yes, you can move Mario and also jump! 👀 Demo: codepen.io/t_afif/full/... via @codepen.io ✔️ 100% CSS Magic ✔️ Minimal HTML ❌ 0% JavaScript A Chrome-only experimentation using modern CSS.
- So much music seems to be disappearing from Napster :( so thinking about trying Qobuz. Anyone used it? Any pro's, cons, thoughts. I know like Napster, Qobuz seem to pay artists better than the others so that's good. Any others worth looking at?
- I do like this new colour format it's great for web. But I still use the old one 😢 "Fun" fact for the day. If you use the white space syntax in Gmail, not only will it ignore it but it will also remove all the other styles in an inline style attribute, or remove an entire embedded <style> block.
- The Email Markup Database is live! Did you know that ~20% of emails collected still use the <center> element but only 0.5% of emails use <picture>. Well you do know, and there is loads more exciting information to find as you dig in database.emailmarkup.org

- Government communications are often required by law to be accessible. Yet 100% of the emails we tested failed basic automated accessibility tests. #A11y
- Following on from the @emailmarkup.org Accessibility Report yesterday. If you support the work we're doing to make email markup more accessible, more consistent and all round better. Please add your name to the list. emailmarkup.org/en/supporters/ #EmailGeeks
- We've just put our the latest Email Accessibility Report. There has been some improvement from previous years, but the results are still pretty dire. So today on #GAAD please take a moment to look at fixing at least one thing in your emails.

- Fun email bug of the day #EmailGeeks. Superhuman will flatten all font sizes, if a #CSS border property doesn't appear inside an email. This is the best bug I've seen in a while. github.com/hteumeuleu/e...

- Fun look at the evolution of email over the year. Oh and look, I'm quoted in it a few times, so it must be good #EmailGeeks stripo.email/blog/email-m...

- I know this has been shared a lot already but if you've not seen it yet, it's well worth watching www.ted.com/talks/carole...
- Playing around with #CSS Overflow Module Level 5. I built out a CSS only hotspot email. This works in (some) email clients such as @notion.com Mail. When viewed in Chrome 135. It's early days but I'm loving these new CSS features, so much potential 😃 parcel.io/e/461478b7-f... #EmailGeeks
- Oh hello #EmailGeeks this looks good
