I first noticed web scroll areas had scroll locking behavior when making 2D scroll snap demos; I couldn't scroll diagonally without getting hijacked and locked into an x or y axis. Even on a touch device, where a diagonal gesture is so easy and natural. Thanks to Bramus's rad interactive blog post I saw Chrome 153 with the remedy: .scroller { overflow: auto; overscroll-behavior: contain; scroll-axis-lock: none; 👈 } spec | check for support Freedom from the axis lock 🤘🏻 Use cases # I was…

Announcing Prop For That, a JS library that backfills what CSS doesn't provide us yet (and maybe never will). I'm done waiting for CSS to catch up to all the valuable information JS knows and done watching folks write the same little JS to just write a custom property to a component. demo · docs · npm Here's a basic example taking the value from a range slider to draw a nice gradient that fills up the slider: import 'prop-for-that/auto' // or import 'https://esm.sh/prop-for-that/auto' <input…
