Not so long ago, I found myself discussing technology with some friends of mine, as if these two realities that should stay away from each other wanted to make the division line thiner than ever. After agreeing with the idea of CSS being a foundational language for web development, I decided to revise some concepts that, eventually, led to an interesting article vertebrated around CSS Comparison Functions and some insightful ideas about present and future design.

In such a flourishing industry, how will things change regarding our way of designing in the near future? It is indeed exciting to work on web projects that require a great amount of flexibility in their components, but how can we facilitate the process to make it as fluid and coherent as the illustration's second example? Can we all participate in this already-mentioned process?

I am not so sure about the answer (not when it comes to myself, at least) - and still I opted to create a little tool making the clamp() formula more accessible for people who might find it useful. Why? Because our industry is hostile enough already, and sadly (or not?), we all want to believe in the warm residue of a community, don't we?
