Yes! Thank you. I linked to the site from my post as well. This is a great resource for anyone currently learning CSS.

This was the site shown to me to prove the separation of style and content. After that it was CSS-Tricks that I found myself frequently reading for answers to the things I was stuck on getting the layout to work.

I'm so tired of AI writing

It's a pity. Spending so much time to ship the CSS dream (clean, well-thought-out) and then using AI-talk to share it with the world.

Came here to say the same. I closed the window on the spot. I don't even care if I miss out on something.

I don't think these people realize how much damage they are doing to their reputations.

good good but are there really websites with 2 or more variously different designs for the same content, like Zen Garden did?

Do they have the design system open source somewhere?

I tried some of the examples. The UX for seeing the different designs is terrible.

1. Go to site

2. Visually scan the page for the style controls

3. Click one

4. Everything changes

5. Visually scan the page for the style controls etc.

I dont want to visually scan every time I change the stlye.

The current firefox.com is incredibly simple, though. It's also pretty tablet/phone centric (everything is so large on Desktop).
