Yet Another Newsletter LOL: Remix Conf and Goodies
Another week, another newsletter. Let’s get to it!
Around the Web
- If you’re looking for a new font, check out Atkinson Hyperlegible from the Braille Institute. Hat tip to Chris Griffing for this find.
- Remix 1.6 just dropped. TLDR; lots of stable CSS features goodness: CSS Modules, Vanilla Extract, CSS Side-Effect Imports, Tailwind. Also, improvements to hot module reloading (HMR) and hot data reloading (HDR).
- Behold the power of view transistions. Chris Coyier drops a simple and elegant example to convey their power.
- What’s new in CSS and UI: I/O 2023 Edition is a recap of all the latest CSS goodness we have now like
:has(), container queries, etc. - It’s not tech related, but I’m loving this book from Rick Rubin and I’ve only just started.
Looking forward to digging into this read from Rick Rubin. This should keep me occupied tonight and on the flight home tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/hMZFbHcncn

Fun Stuff
I attended Remix Conf this week. Lots of great talks, but my favourite one was a demo of an online piano and how to build it with progressive enhancement in mind. It was a fun interactive demo unleashing all the goodness people have come to love using Remix.
Check out (Ab)use the Platform! - Presented by Jon Jensen
