My second day of the main conference part of WordCamp Europe 2023 was hampered slightly by a late start on my part.
Still, I managed to get to all the things I’d earmarked for my attention, including:
WCEU23 – Day 2

@dan, thanks for the review!
I hope I have stepped into your post before. Thanks for sharing your experience around the event. I hope to see you in Turin, and we can chat about CSS.
The point about Safari on old devices is a big problem. I had issues using dynamic viewport units. A few months after the WordCamp, a client had a classroom with old 40 iPads that stopped receiving updates.
Following up with some items:
– Baseline 2023 was released: https://web.dev/blog/baseline2023
– @layers has two threads to discuss; bring it to the core: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/51128
– Now you can see the baseline flags on “Can I use”
– :has() now is available on Firefox since version 121
– Nesting now is available on Firefox since version 117
– Clamp is super handy for fluid text and images. For me, the benefit is having more clean code
– Container queries need a talk by itself, but there is a nice video from Una that covers the importance of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCNMyYr7F6w
Thanks! Yes, I should be at WCEU 2024!
I’ve become a big fan of container queries – I’ve used them for example on the homepage of this site to support in inner layout of the dynamically-sized/positioned “grid” of post tiles. I was already using clamp for fluid type-sizing. Super glad that :has finally enjoys support in Fx though!
