An interactive introduction to CSS Houdini! Learn, play, and remix to your heart's content!

Because Houdini is still an in-flux set of web specs, and because there is only really one implementation available in the wild today, you'll need Chrome Canary with Experimental Web Platform Features turned on (chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features) in order to use most of these demos.

While the code powering this site is available for remixing from Glitch, if you'd like to contribute to the main project directly (fix something, add something, etc…), head on over to the GitHub Repo that powers the site. The only special thing that's happening in the codebase is shared CSS gets compiled from Sass in the src folder; other than that what you see is what you get. The issue queue is a good place to ask questions as well, if you'd like.

I did a lot of SVG work for Paint API stuff in Illustrator, and getting that stuff in to a 2D drawing context would have been a pain by hand. Fortunately, the AI to Canvas Illustrator plugin works wonders for that. Thanks Sarah Drasner for pointing me in the right direction there.
