/r/css_irl has gone private in protest of reddit's rapidly degenerating user experience, which has come to a head with recent API changes. We will not be returning unless we see substantial change, starting with a significantly more friendly stance to third party developers.

So what is this subreddit?

CSS is basically what "styles" everything in your web browsers!

It stands for cascading style sheets and it lets you change colors, fonts, borders, etc.

Due to the somewhat counter-intuitive nature of CSS, it can cause some serious frustration with front-end developers.

That's where we come in.

Our subreddit's goal is to describe real-life photos of bad design using CSS selectors.

Please check the sticky for updates!
