Blogs I follow, and the feeds that go with them.

CSS layout primitives and front-end craft, written mostly by Andy Bell with occasional guests.
Brad Frost
Atomic Design, and a long argument that a design system is mostly an organisational problem.
Chris Coyier
Started CSS-Tricks and CodePen, and posts short and often from his own site again.
Josh Comeau
CSS and React explained interactively, where the demo carries the argument.
Lea Verou
CSS at the standards level, plus the colour research that keeps landing in the spec.

Monica Dinculescu
Web components, emoji, and demos built for the joke as much as the technique.

Sara Soueidan
Accessibility and SVG, in the detail most articles skip.

Cassidy Williams
Developer tooling, a weekly newsletter, and more puns than the average changelog.

Thinking out loud about React, and lately about the protocol underneath a social filesystem.

The React Query maintainer, and the closest thing to a manual for data fetching in React.
Kent C. Dodds
React and testing, and a long argument for tests that resemble how software is actually used.

AI & research
The web itself

Kuba Suder
The clearest independent writing on how atproto works underneath Bluesky.
Kube
Freelance frontend engineer writing about software and design from the doing end.
