CSS-Tricks Launches 'I Heart CSS' Squad on DailyDev for Curated Frontend News

If you follow CSS-Tricks, you likely already have a preferred method for catching new articles—RSS feeds, Bluesky, Mastodon, or another platform. For developers who rely on DailyDev for their daily dose of frontend news, CSS-Tricks now offers two dedicated ways to stay updated.

First, there's the official CSS-Tricks channel, which automatically pulls in new content as it's published. This is the straightforward, no-frills option for anyone who wants every article delivered directly to their DailyDev feed.

More interesting for many is the curated approach. CSS-Tricks has launched a DailyDev "squad" called I Heart CSS. This isn't just a feed; it's a community page where the CSS-Tricks team actively curates content. Alongside their own articles, they share other CSS-y links of interest from around the web—tutorials, experiments, browser updates, and design patterns that catch their eye.

Why This Matters for Frontend Developers

DailyDev has become a central hub for developers seeking quality technical content without the noise of social media algorithms. By establishing an official presence, CSS-Tricks ensures their content reaches this audience directly. The squad format adds a layer of curation that many developers value—getting a human-filtered selection of resources rather than just an automated feed.

For those focused on CSS and modern frontend development, the "I Heart CSS" squad serves as a trusted filter. The team behind CSS-Tricks has decades of collective experience in web design and development. Their curation decisions reflect practical knowledge of what's actually useful versus what's merely trendy.

How to Get Started

If you're already a DailyDev user, adding either option is straightforward:

1. For the automated feed: Search for "CSS-Tricks" in DailyDev's channel directory and follow it. Every new article will appear in your feed.
2. For the curated squad: Visit the I Heart CSS squad page and join the community. Here you'll see both CSS-Tricks content and other carefully selected resources.

The squad approach is particularly valuable for developers who appreciate context. When the CSS-Tricks team shares an external link, they often add brief commentary about why it's worth reading—whether it's a clever CSS technique, a browser compatibility note, or a design pattern that solves a common problem.

Beyond the Feed: A Community Approach

DailyDev's squad feature transforms content consumption from passive reading into community participation. Members can discuss articles, share their own experiences, and ask questions. For CSS-Tricks, this creates a direct line to their audience, allowing them to gauge what topics resonate most and what challenges developers are actually facing.

The "I Heart CSS" name itself reflects the team's passion for the craft. CSS has evolved dramatically in recent years—Grid, Flexbox, custom properties, container queries, and the new viewport units have fundamentally changed how we approach layout and design. Yet the fundamentals remain crucial. This squad likely balances coverage of cutting-edge features with timeless principles.

What to Expect

Based on CSS-Tricks' editorial approach, the squad will likely feature:

• Deep dives into new CSS specifications and browser implementations
• Practical tutorials for complex layout challenges
• Accessibility considerations in modern CSS
• Performance implications of different CSS approaches
• Design system patterns and component architecture
• Browser compatibility updates and workarounds

The curation extends beyond pure CSS. Modern frontend development is inherently interdisciplinary, so expect links to JavaScript frameworks that complement CSS, design tools, and even backend considerations that affect frontend implementation.

Joining the Conversation

Whether you're a CSS-Tricks regular or discovering them through DailyDev, the squad offers a more intimate way to engage with their content. It's a space where the team can share not just what they're writing, but what they're reading and learning.

For developers building their daily learning habits, having a trusted source like CSS-Tricks curate content saves time and increases the quality of information consumed. In an ecosystem where new tools and techniques emerge weekly, this kind of editorial filtering becomes increasingly valuable.

The web development community thrives on shared knowledge. By joining the I Heart CSS squad, you're not just following content—you're participating in a community of developers who care deeply about the craft of building for the web.
