been seeing people talk about this for a bit but it's actually hitting safari now. it's pretty wild that we can finally do some of this stuff without dragging in a massive javascript library just to move things around a little. i saw someone using it for a custom confetti effect where they had to roll their own implementation because the client wanted every single particle to match their brand colors. sounds like a nightmare for anyone trying to keep a codebase clean.
>reducing the need for JavaScript or third-party frameworksit's nice in theory but i'm always skeptical when people say we can ditch js entirely. it'll be fine for simple things like varying some border radii or offsets, but i doubt it'll replace actual logic. still, having native randomness in the presentation layer is a huge win for performance if it works as promised. anyone actually tried using this in a production site yet?
