After 11 long years, I am finally back in a square year. Looking forward to being 36!
Best part: automatic fallbacks.
.popup {
position-area: block-end;
position-try: flip-block;
}
Popup below the anchor. Not enough space? Flip it above. The browser does the math. You write the rules.
`position-area` places your element on a 3×3 grid around the anchor, where `block-end` = below and `span-inline-end` = aligned right, can grow left, etc.
Play with it interactively: https://css-tip.com/position-area/
Step 1: Name your anchor
.trigger {
anchor-name: --menu;
}
Step 2: Connect and position
.popup {
position: absolute;
position-anchor: --menu;
position-area: block-end span-inline-end;
}
The popup now tracks the trigger.
CSS Anchor Positioning is now baseline.
Firefox 147 ships today with full support. Chrome, Edge, Safari — all on board. Position elements relative to other elements. No JavaScript.
Here's the 60-second rundown...
Tailwind v4’s @utility, @apply, and @variant aren’t just new syntax.
Combined with :where(), they let you write semantic CSS that’s discoverable, tree-shakeable, readable, and composable.
Full write-up: https://fractaledmind.com/2026/01…
The ui- prefix matters too. When you see .btn you have no idea what you’re dealing with. Bootstrap? Old semantic class? Random utility? `ui-badge` signals intent: zero-specificity visual pattern designed to compose with utilities.
Why this is better:
• @utility → tree-shaking + autocomplete
• :where() → zero specificity, utilities always win
• @variant → each state gets its own readable block
• @apply → uses the user’s theme, not a parallel system
@utility ui-badge {
:where(&) {
@apply inline-flex items-center ...;
@variant hover {
@apply bg-primary/90;
}
@variant focus-visible {
@apply border-ring ring-ring/50;
}
}
}
Building HTML UI forced me to figure out how to write CSS classes that integrate deeply with Tailwind v4. I want 3 things: intellisense, tree shaking, and easy utility overrides. Here’s I make it all work 🧵
How It Works (3/3)
* Opening: cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1) — 56% overshoot for energy
* Closing: cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.18, 0.64, 1) — 18% overshoot, gentler
