What is the best way to wrap text intentionality

This might seem like a dumb question but I always feel like I'm doing this wrong. If I have a h1 for example and I want to wrap it over 2 lines for design purposes is the best way to use a br tag or max-width? I feel like both of those solutions aren't great so if there's a better way to do this please let me know 🙂...

Workplace Stress + Wellness apps

Just your friendly neighbourhood UX Designer looking for input on an interview assignment (I got laid off so I'm really trying to smash this) So if any senior devs are online, what part of the work week is most stressful and how do you manage it? Do things like wellness budgets for yoga classes really work? Do you have strategies to prioritize time on your calendar? (We're supposed to address improving well-being in the workplace through an app/AI.)...

3D Text Effect, Challenging Text Effect

Greetings, i am very new here, but i am already watching Kevins amazing videos for a while. Since i have searched already 2 days for a working idea i thought maybe the god of css could help me. (Or some of his minions) 🙂 I am trying to create a dynamic text effect in this 3d style i am sending in a screenshot with this post. It seems there is no filter or masking trick which dynamically reacts on this. I would like to avoid adding a 3d javascript library for such a thing, i guess this would be overkill. If there is no other way around it i would probably stay with images. But since this text is also the h1 of the page it could be problematic for semantic. Please forget the branch structure underneath. I know this will be an overkill to make this change width automatically. 😄 ...

Is there any disadvantage in using jsdoc for library authors?

I haven't used that many npm packages but I see that some don't use any kind of inline documentation at all. Prisma, zod and better-sqlite3 being one of the few. React uses some but it mainly redirects to official documentation via the @see tag. Is there a reason some of these libraries don't do inline documentation like lower performance when bundling? Or is it just preference for not cluttering the js files and instead having separate docs...

`position: absolute` issue

Hey guys! Having a really weird position absolute issue. Parent .fg-btn-wrapper has position: relative on it. Child .fg-btn has position: absolute on it with top: 0, right: 0. Instead of it being to the right of the container inside of it, it's outside of it to the left. This is unfortunately behind authentication so I can't show a live link but I have no idea why it's doing this. Just looking for ideas...

Targetting web component parts using ::part in the shadow dom itself

We can use ::part outside for styling a part in a web component but for the life of me I can't find out how to use this selector in the shadow dom <style> block itself. [part=thing] works until you have multiple parts. I've tried looking around and absolutely nobody talks about using this selector in the shadow dom but I refuse to believe it's not usable...

Style queries - inherited and changed

Was watching KPows latest video on style queries. I’m confused on how it works when custom properties are changed further down the cascade. If we aren’t defining a container, does it just look for the custom properties value on the elements nearest ancestor ? For example: ```css body { —clr: skyblue; }...

What are good css normalize/resets for a button?

I wanted to add some button normalization styles, but I was wondering what is considered good practice or not. I found around 3 options, the first being very simple and direct is all: unset, but I vaguely remember Kevin saying it's not really good to use that because It can remove some good/relevant styles and I'm not sure it's the case here. The other ons ie the one below: ```css button, input[type="submit"], input[type="reset"] {...

I have problems using PDF in a JS project

so I was working on this project and I need to accurately convert pdf to something with structure (I choose markdown for now) so I can analyze it. The result text has been very inaccurate, page numbers would get in, multiple repeated headings like h2 h2 h2 ```js async function extractPdfMarkdown(file: File): Promise<string> { try {...

Strange transition using anchor positioning and popovers

I am using anchor positioning (the solution can only be described as 'interesting') to position some 'toast' popovers (top-layer), with a transition (translation) using allow discrete behaviour. This works fine for transitioning in to view. However, when the popover is being hidden, the element suddenly loses its anchoring halfway through the transition.
