Hello and welcome to this issue!

Recently, I've been focused on writing a series of articles on modern CSS, and I’ve made some new discoveries. Here's a preview of the planned content:

• Layout Properties (CSS Logical Properties, CSS Writing Modes, Anchor Positioning, Break Rules...)

• Color Properties (color() function, color-mix(), Relative Colors, Interpolation Color Spaces...)

• Typography Properties (font-variant, initial-letter, font-palette, hanging-punctuation...)

• Interaction Properties (Scroll Snap, overscroll-behavior, scroll-timeline, ViewTransition API...)

• Graphics (CSS Shapes, clip-path, CSS Masks, Blend Modes, conic-gradient(), linear() Easing Function...)

• Accessibility (prefers-reduced-motion, color-contrast(),

  , prefers-reduced-data...)

• Others (CSS Nesting, Cascade Layers, image-set(), Shadow DOM Features, Stepped Value Functions...)

I’ll keep the publishing frequency at one or two articles per week. If you're interested in these topics, join my 7-day exclusive membership trial to read the currently available member content and get updates first.

The Strange Behavior of the void Type in TypeScript 

In TypeScript, the "void" type represents "nothing" and is mainly used for function return types. Declaring variables as "void" is generally not recommended. Functions with a "void" return type should return "undefined," but TypeScript won’t complain if you return another value; it simply forces you to "ignore" it.
