🎉 And we're live! 🎉
We just launched CSS Wrapped 2025: our annual recap of all things CSS & web UI that landed in Chrome over the course of the year. 🚀
This is a big one! We highlighted 22 new features to help you build better on the web.

Finally I’m able to explain why I’m an AI skeptical, thank you for writing this down. I know I’ll mention it often
I have a lot of thoughts on AI.
I've been working on this post for a couple of months now. It's very personal, characteristically lengthy, and sure to be at least somewhat controversial. Take it (or don't) as you will.

Comparison table showing WCAG vs EAA coverage across accessibility areas. EAA fully requires all listed areas; WCAG partially or does not cover several, including vendors, support, and usability. The text under the table reads: So yes—you can pass WCAG AA and still fail to comply with the EAA’s digital product obligations.
So yes, you can pass WCAG AA and still fail to comply with the EAA’s digital product obligations...
The EAA goes beyond the technical compliance: it requires products to work seamlessly with assistive technologies and be usable across the full customer lifecycle. Not just pass UI-level checks.
front-end should wait less for backends to get started
make something desirable,
reduce state to a packet later
A screenshot from Chrome's DevTools showing the list of suggested values for the 'container-type' property which are: anchored, inline-size, normal, scroll-state, size, inherit, etc.
Container queries aren't about size anymore. Now we have style, scroll-state, anchored, and who knows what's coming? 🤩

A helpful graph made by @stevekrouse.com on the inverse relationship between vibes and understanding in AI assisted code.
Put a few thoughts down here: maggieappleton.com/2025-08-vibe...
Original article: blog.val.town/vibe-code
I figured out when I like vibe coding:
- It’s not important business code
- or it’s not to be reusable by others
- or it’s just throw away code
Basically, vibing is for low-risk boring tasks 🤷
Private lists I mean. 🫣
I’m forced to still check X because the content is still there.
Here is too quiet and the lack of custom lists makes it harder to find content faster.
And yes, AI is overwhelming. Nobody cares about the new CSS conditionals (without JS!)
#ChangeMyView AI doesn't make a bad engineer better. It will only make them faster at pushing AI code.
If you struggle to handle many forms at scale, perhaps my talk can inspire you! Full-stack forms with JSON Schemas ⚡️
PS. The conf @jsheroes.io was rad 10/10!
Meme with the title: Do you ever look at stuff and wonder how it got there... then pictures of a car on top of a tree, a horse stuck in a fence, a cat trapped on window blinds, and some HTML with the code for a Tailwind button
I wish! Maybe next year
Yes I do 🌿
Sad but true 🥲
Fair you got me, I’m a liar 🙃
No, I was serious, this is production code :p
Do you mean the div soups?
<div onClick={router.push(‘/login’)}>login</div>
A drawing with key topics of my talk. Done live during the talk!
I had so much fun today at @jsheroes.io talking about full-stack Forms with JSON Schemas! And got a sketch out of it, how cool!! ✨✨
Thanks a lot #JSHeroes2025, incredible vibes! 🐻

⚛️📝 New on Overreacted: JSX Over The Wire overreacted.io/jsx-over-the...
✨ In March 2023, I published an article about AI.
This was right after OpenAI showcased how GPT4 could turn a hand-drawn sketch of a website into real HTML/CSS/JS. The consensus online was that FE jobs would stop existing within 1-2 years.
Well, it’s been 2 years! So, I just published a follow-up:
No idea what’s new. Been enjoying my JOMO 🙈
Yes, who knows!
Who’s joining JSHeroes? I’ll be there talking about… forms with JSON Schemas ⚡️
So… what have you learned in 2025 so far? I haven’t catch up with tech social this year. And it feels… strange. #JOMO
