- Figma (Sites) creating inaccessible, non-semantic div soup? I’m not surprised at all. That’s basically the main point of the talk I just gave at #btconf. Figma is for painting beautiful pictures of websites. Not for making websites.

- Reposted by Matthias OttHave you ever tried to remove margins from content with `:first-child { margin-block-start: 0; } :last-child { margin-block-end: 0; }` only to feel icky, knowing the code is fragile, just waiting for the layout to break with different HTML? Try `margin-trim` instead. webkit.org/blog/16854/m...
