State of CSS 2024

The State of CSS survey is out and like every year, I get introduced to new features that I didn't know about, or ones that I've heard about but have yet to dig into.

Here are some features I'm excited about using:

• backdrop-filter (MDN): Just started using this on my landing page to blur the background behind the text.

• light-dark() (MDN): Using with custom properties will make it much simpler to manage themes.

• subgrid (MDN): Been waiting on this for about 7 years.

• :where() (MDN): Among other things (like not affecting specificity), this will allow for more concise selector lists.
