Hints & Suggestions (First, Do No Harm)
The web is fundamentally different from other platforms, built around a radically political vision for resilience and user-control. CSS takes that to another level, attempting the almost absurd task of collaborative styling across devices and interfaces and languages. This is a quick dive into the origins of the web, and CSS in particular—the design constraints, and the range of strange proposals, and how we got where we are. By the end, we see the CSS is Awesome meme in a whole new light.
This is a talk session at the 11ty International Symposium on Making Web Sites Real Good.
