Potentially Coming to a Browser :near() You | CSS-Tricks

Thomas Walichiewicz, who proposed :near(), suggests that it works like this: button:near(3rem) { /* Pointer is within 3rem of the button */ } For those wondering, yes, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to measure the straight-line distance between two elements using JavaScript ("Euclidean distance" is the mathematical term), so I imagine that's what would be used behind the scenes here.

What's !important #4: Videos & View Transitions, Named Media Queries, How Browsers Work, and More | CSS-Tricks

Chris Coyier demonstrates how to maintain a video's state across different pages using CSS view transitions. He notes that this is fairly easy to do with same-page view transitions, but with multi-page view transitions you'll need to leverage JavaScript's pageswap event to save information about the video's state in sessionStorage as a JSON string (works with audio and iframes too), and then use that information to restore the state on pagereveal. Yes, there's a tiiiiny bit of audio stutter because we're technically faking it, but it's still super neat.

Performance-Optimized Video Embeds with Zero JavaScript

Every embedded video comes with a real cost to page load performance. Each player loads extra resources, whether the user ever hits play or not, as Chris Coyier noted in his blog post on "YouTube Embeds are Bananas Heavy and it's Fixable". The approach of using in that article works well when the video appears further down on the page and loads outside of the initial viewport. If the video is directly in the initial viewport, it can still cause a cumulative layout shift (CLS).
