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:

Web Components Demystified

Scott Jehl just kickstarted his course on web components and it just sounds great:

Many of the largest companies in the world have already begun transitioning their sites and design systems to use web components, and major JavaScript libraries like React have greatly improved their compatibility to work with them as well.
