The new year is a season of resets - new goals, new resolutions, new…CSS default styles?
This month’s jam prompt is “Your Dream Default Stylesheet” where the community is tasked with imagining a web where the default font isn’t Times New Roman - or maybe it is! Many of us have our CSS resets or wishes for different style defaults from browsers, but what if you can choose what everyone else started with?
This jam is a bit different than the last ones. This month, remix the jam starter ~your-dream-default-stylesheet, which we filled with all kinds of good html elements, and only update style.css - no editing index.html, adding/removing files or using JavaScript. Use your imagination with CSS, but keep it accessible!
I love this concept ngl this one of the things that I’ve been wanting to do but have never gotten to. I’ll also be willing to put these styles into one of my old apps for preving markdown, https://multimark.glitch.me (I’m aware that I wasn’t supposed to link to some styles that are now broken, but I’ll fix those later).
this jam reminds me of the css zen garden! it was one of the first websites i came across after being introduced to css, it’d be awesome to see a glitch version of the zen garden with all the styles from this codejam!
CSS zen garden was an huge inspiration for this! i shared on yesterday’s livestream a version of the app that has a dropdown of all the submissions so far - including yours - that i am putting together for the end of the month!
when the collection said some projects had to be ommited from the style testing project for breaking the dropdown I actually thought it was refering to that one but surprisingly it does not break the dropdown.
