+++ CSS Café meets CSS Day: an in-Person Pop-Up Event! +++

Whoohoo, it's time again for CSS Day, our favorite in-person CSS conference! 🤗

Last year we used the opportunity of having all these CSS nerds and masterminds so close by to organize our very first in-person event. And it went great! 🥳 So we're gonna repeat it this year and meet again the day right after the conference.

Staying true to our name, there will be tasty coffee ☕ as well as softdrinks 🧉 and pastries 🍪 paired with informal / unconference like presentations and potential discussions around our all favorite web language ✨!

So far, we know of these presentations:

• Amit Sheen - Individual Transforms: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
• Egor Kloos - Web Component styling across products and teams (Design Systems are for sharing)

If you have ideas what you'd like present, just hit us up! It can be a full blown talk or just showing a few nice demos. It could be focusing on a certain CSS feature, or discussing an architectural approach, or showing off a nice hack, or presenting your wishlist for browser CSS devtools. You can reach us via:

• Meetup.com Message
• Website Form
• Twitter
• Mastodon

Notes: Thanks to increased sponsoring we could double the amount of spots compared to last year. The 5 EUR entry fee is to keep no-shows at bay - the money will be donated to the MathML-Core project on Open Collective.

Huge thank you's go out to PPK and Krijn from CSS Day and to our incredibly generous sponsor 9elements for making this event possible! 🙏🏻♥

 
 
 

+++ Mapping Typography +++ by Scott Kellum +++

The websites we make are nothing less than multi-dimensional objects: the size and shape of them change with every device and browser they are viewed on. We have lots of new tooling to develop layouts for this multi-dimensional landscape, but one crucial element seems to have resisted our attempts at tooling: our typography. How does our typography both maintain meaningful structure while flexing across our dynamic website space? In this talk, we’ll explore that problem. We will make a map of how text and typography behave in our website landscape, and then take these maps and apply them using CSS animations. In this way, we’ll drive dynamic interpolations across our websites' multiple dimensions.
