I will explain how my mum inspired this 2026 Mother’s Day scrollytelling experiment — but also, how she inspired my approach to dev and life.

My shim might give the powers that be another reason to say native support isn't necessary, or if lots of people use my :nth-letter hack in the wild, the browser gods might recognize the need to implement it for real.

These are the historical pranks I consider the top 10 most noteworthy, rather than the “best.” You’ll see that some of them crossed the line and/or backfired.

Read an explanation of the recent CVE-2026-2441 vulnerability that was labeled a "CSS exploit" that "allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page."

Lee accepts a challenge: arranging text in a spiral that animates as a vortex on scroll... all in CSS.

Lee Meyer recently spoke at Web Directions Summit 2025. This is his experience, not only speaking at the event, but experiencing the event through the lens of anxiety and imposter syndrome.

Unconvinced of the value of scrollytelling? Alright, skeptic, let’s first warm up with some common use cases for scroll-based styling.

Do we invent or discover CSS tricks? Lee Meyer discusses how creative limitations, recursive thinking, and unexpected combinations lead to his most interesting ideas.

Deploying like an idiot comes down to a mismatch between the tools you use to deploy and the reward in complexity reduced versus complexity added.

Interactive CSS animations with elements ricocheting off each other seem more plausible in 2025. While it’s unnecessary to implement Pong in CSS, the increasing flexibility and power of CSS reinforce Lee's suspicion that one day it will be a lifestyle choice whether to achieve any given effect with scripting or CSS.
