Tired of generic AI tool lists that read like they were written by an AI? Me too. That’s why I dove deep into AI to find real gems. This isn’t just another article—it’s my personal experience. Get ready to discover AI tools that will impact your life (or at least make it a little easier). https://webdesignernews.com/%f0%9f%9a%80-must-try-ai-tools-of-2025-32-game-changing-picks-tested-verified/

As CSS continues to evolve, it brings new tools and options that help developers craft better and more dynamic web experiences.

You are not alone. CSS was born in 1996 (it can legally order a beer, you know!) and was initially considered a way to style documents; I don’t think anyone imagined everything CSS would be expected to do nearly 30 years later. If we had a time machine, many things would be done differently to match conventions or to make more sense. Heck, even the CSS Working Group admits to... https://webdesignernews.com/the-mistakes-of-css-2/

I’ve been doing this CSS thing for over 15 years and I’ve seen a lot of change in that time. A lot of the time, I see a new CSS feature and immediately get excited about how helpful it’s going to be for me and the team in the long term. A good example of that is text-box-trim. https://webdesignernews.com/css-nesting/
