The Cascade is a blog about the past, present, and future of CSS.

Howdy—Robin Rendle here.

This blog keeps me in the loop with everything that’s possible with CSS lately but it’s also a reminder to celebrate the people doing the hard work building stuff for the web.

You can subscribe to The Cascade via RSS, shoot me an email if you absolutely must, or follow the feed. This project is directly supported by readers and the membership program.

Right now the newsletter is taking a bit of a break whilst I figure out a healthy publishing cadence, but you can subscribe below:

CSS shapes

Making shapes with CSS will never fail to impress me and I just spotted this great resource by Temani Afif that has a ton of examples. You’ve got the basics, like squares, triangles, and circles but then the more wild examples like ribbons and grid lines. Great stuff.

Also, completely unrelated to all this, but I had a lot of fun scrolling through Temani’s work on Codepen. Especially this trippy, 3d parallax effect and this, the ultimate CSS shape of them all: a CSS-only Goku.
