CSS News

The New CSS

Interesting article. Maybe designers want to consider and use CSS to create designs.

https://matthiasott.com/notes/the-new-css

“I learned CSS as a tool for doing designing and that’s how I see design. Design is a thought process […] and it’s a very abstract thing where you’re just trying to achieve something. And you pick up tools along the way to do that. So, Figma might be a tool and Photoshop might be a tool, but also, CSS could be a tool.”
