Designing in the browser — still a thing? — follow-up

Dark mode is a one-liner media query once your colours live in variables.

Code:

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

— CSS variables made my theming life so much easier.

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

Maybe this has been discussed before, but I could not find anything recent.

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

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

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

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

Bumping this because I ran into the same thing today.
