We asked members of the CSS community to share their “pick of the year”

My 2024 Pick: @view-transition

The new @view-transition CSS at-rule is a game-changer for 2024. It allows developers to create smooth, native transitions between pages or components with minimal code, significantly reducing the reliance on JavaScript-heavy solutions. This marks a major advancement for building dynamic, fluid interfaces in web development!

We asked members of the CSS community to share their “pick of the year”

My 2024 Pick: Sara Soueidan

Even though we all work in the digital realm, it's important to remember that this is all made possible by actual, physical human beings that have to suffer the consequences of conflicts around the world. Sara was recently displaced from her home by war, and I can only hope she's able to resume her awesome work soon!
