What would a 2026 CSS Anthology look like?

This article reflects on the author's experience publishing the first edition of The CSS Anthology in 2004, which covered the entire CSS 2.1 specification with 101 examples. It contrasts the web development landscape of 2004—where tables were still common and browser versions lasted years—with today's rapid release cycles and modern CSS features like scrollbar-color. The author wonders what a 2026 edition would entail, given the vast expansion of CSS capabilities over two decades. This is a tech-focused retrospective on CSS evolution and web development history.
