Follow Friday: CSS Edition (2 September 2022)

Happy Friday, friends! 🎉 Follow Friday is your weekly opportunity to shout out fellow DEV Community members doing awesome work. Check out the comments and follow someone new!

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a simple language (yes, I said it's a language!) for adding style (e.g., fonts, colors, spacing) to HTML documents. It can be extremely frustrating — and some of you are using it as a proper art medium 🧑‍🎨🖼️

So, devs: who are your favorite DEV community members flexing their CSS skills?

Formatting tip: to populate a card with a follow button, use the liquid tag syntax {% embed https://... %} and insert the URL of your favorite author's profile.

Join in on the #FollowFriday fun by @mentioning your favorite author to follow for CSS tips & tricks (and letting us know why you love their posts!) ⤵️
