The new CSS sibling-index() (and -count()) functions are perfect for staggered timing affects. This goes a little step further staggering both before and after a selected element.
There are a number of things that can rain on your sticky parade. Maybe it’s time to actually understand why.
Tooltips are a natural fit for the abilities of Anchor Positioning, which can help place them on *any* side or corner. It does make dealing with the pointer extra tricky though.
Having a width-limited centered column of content is common and good, but what do you do when you need to break out? It’s not hard these days, but it does depend on the situation.
The Anchor Positioning API in CSS is very powerful. This is the beginning of a series where we understand it through the perfect use-case: tooltips.
TanStack Start is one of the most exciting full-stack web development frameworks I’ve seen. I’ve written about it before.

You might think that would hurt GIMP usage, but I suspect it won’t as GIMP runs on Linux (which neither Adobe or Affinity do) and it feels… Linuxy. I can’t imagine Adobe is happy about it.

There can be sub-features involved as things evolve that roll out in browsers at different times. View Transitions is an example of that going on right now.
