Scroll Snap

Well orchestrated scroll experiences set your experience apart from the rest, and scroll snap is the perfect way to match system scroll UX while providing meaningful stopping points.

.snaps {
    overflow-x: scroll;
    scroll-snap-type: x mandatory;
    overscroll-behavior-x: contain;
}

.snap-target {
    scroll-snap-align: center;
}

.snap-force-stop {
    scroll-snap-stop: always;
}

Control variants with @layer

Memorize less and reach more with logical properties

Memorize this one new box model and never have to worry about changing left and right padding or margin for international writing modes and document directions again. Adjust your styles from physical properties to logical ones like padding-inline, margin-inline, inset-inline, and now the browser will do the adjusting work.

button {
    padding-inline: 2ch;
    padding-block: 1ch;
}

article > p {
    text-align: start;
    margin-block: 2ch;
}

.something::before {
    inset-inline: auto 0;
}
