How does negative margins work

I want half the grey column to be in the blue area and want the column to also extend beyond the bottom boundary of the grid. I used margin-block: -50% but it doesn't work. Why is it not working and what's the right way to do it? https://codepen.io/ksblupzi-the-solid/pen/qEbNQVN

Designing an optimal CSS "contract" for rendering arbitrary web components in different contexts

Hello front end friends! I am building a product that generates overlays/widgets for streamers. Basically just arbitrary bundles of JS and CSS that can respond to events from streaming platform APIs and plugs into OBS or other broadcasting software. The challenge I'm facing is that the overlays created can be rendered in all kinds of different contexts (eg. a small card in a gallery, a half-screen design page, a full-screen browser-source plugin to OBS, etc.). Additionally, the overlays are completely arbitrary dimensions. It could be super wide (like a scoreboard or a scrolling marquee), square (chessboard, chats) or tall (vertical bar graph, top scores). To render overlays attractively, there are 2 important considerations: ...

PWA Install Button?

I know that in Chrome-based browsers I can use the beforeInstallPrompt event to capture the prompt and tie it to a button, but on Safari am I limited to "here's a pic of how to install the webapp"? I can't find anything online through MDN or internet searching for non-Chrome so I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything....

How do I achieve this? Is this a clip-path, a mask or what?

Good day. Trying to recreate this in CSS but I am completely lost. The red part should be an Image, and I am lost about how to actually handle the borders in that way. Does anybody perhaps know how to deal with this or have any resource that actually teach it?...

What do you guys use to actually put your websites together?

The company I work for uses Wordpress, which I struggle with. (Thanks Kevin for the very timely podcast episode, which I'm in the process of devouring!) So once we've all become CSS geniuses, what are people using to build your websites? VSCode and FTP'ing it to a server? Astro (intriguing!!)? A headless CMS? Headless Wordpress? Just looking for some ideas - I've been creating some great landing page ideas but it's super hard to put those designs into our company's existing Wordpress sites (one...

Need help with ToC's indentation [Hugo]

Hello, everyone! How can I reduce the indentation of Table of Content? It's for a personal blog with Hugo engine. The primary goal is to move the indentation of the first level to align with ToC's title, while the second level is visibly indented. I want to keep using list just in case I need it in the future, so I'd like to avoid the option to turn it off (if it's even possible with just CSS). What I'd like to achieve is something like this....
