State of the CSS Community
summary
Claim: dozens of UI-focused CSS features land since 2021 and actually interoperate across engines. Evidence: aspect-ratio, dynamic viewport units, individual transforms are shipped; container queries and cascade layers are stable and enable component-owned responsive logic; popover and anchor positioning run in-browser (top-layer, light-dismiss); color-mix and expanded color spaces arrive; scroll-driven animations run off the main thread in Chrome 115. Provenance: rendering NG + interop efforts and community data drive the work.
