Anchor Positioning Is Disruptive
New layouts will be possible
The more I play with it, the more convinced I am that anchor positioning is going to unlock some surprising new layouts.
We enjoy working with teams pursuing large-scale projects to plan, design, and develop tailor-made web applications and design systems. As industry experts, we’d love to help you improve team workflow, lower maintenance costs, and solve problems that help people.

Performance, scope, and fallbacks for the anchor positioning polyfill
Our sponsors are supporting the continued development of the CSS Anchor Positioning Polyfill. Here’s a summary of the latest updates.
Are we measuring what we meant to measure?
There’s been a lot of interest in the results of the annual State of CSS survey, but are we asking all the right questions?
What makes something a ‘grid’, and what’s at stake?
Back in 2020, Firefox released a prototype for doing ‘masonry’ layout in CSS. Now all the browsers are eager to ship something, but there’s a hot debate about the best syntax to use.
OddBird became an extension of our team bringing UX, frontend, and backend brilliance to take MetaDeploy from an idea into a production application.
OddBird is a company I recommend without reservation. They are among the best in the world at front end, design systems, and w3c standards.
Other developers build exactly what you say, or they don’t understand, and develop the wrong thing. OddBird always thinks about the project goals. I defer to the team expertise now, which makes a better result.
Miriam is a fantastic speaker, with wonderful teaching skills, and highly praised by attendees of the conference and the workshop alike.
As core contributors to CSS, Sass, and Django, we write the books, help create the languages, and build the OSS projects millions of other developers rely on. Bringing that expertise to your custom web projects, we focus on accessibility, performance, resilient design systems, and well-tested code.
OddBird was the wise investment. We could have selected a cheaper avenue for this work – we would have paid for it manifold in the long run.
Since OddBird thinks about handoff from the beginning, maintenance has been super easy. For example, 100% unit test coverage was a given. I never had to ask for it.
I co-founded OddBird with my brothers in 2008 as a full-stack, boutique agency to provide custom web application design & development, along with refactors for integrated design systems, accessibility, performance, and long-term sustainability.
Since then OddBird has become an industry leader – from our work on Django, Sass, and Susy, to the CSS Working Group, Mozilla Developer Channel, Object Oriented UX, and in-depth conference talks on front-end architecture, workflow, component libraries, testing, and documentation.
We’d love to help you thoughtfully serve people with technology.
