Flexbox patterns I use constantly — follow-up

I design in the browser almost exclusively now; mockups only for client sign-off.

Container queries changed how I build card layouts — the component adapts to its slot, not the viewport.

Code:

:root { --accent: #4f7cff; }

— CSS variables made my theming life so much easier.

:has() feels like cheating compared to what we used to do.

CSS variables + one class toggle is my whole dark mode stack.

Interesting — I will have to try that.

Container queries are great but I still add a media-query fallback.

Good point, I had not thought of it that way.

I still reach for Bootstrap when a client needs to maintain it afterwards.

Bumping this because I ran into the same thing today.

Refactoring legacy CSS one component at a time is the only sane way.

I disagree slightly, but I can see where you are coming from.

Nice thread, following for the replies.
