Buckle up for a blast from the past: the DeLorean DMC-12 roared off the production line in Dunmurry, Northern Ireland. Thanks to a certain time-traveling duo, the DeLorean became the unofficial mascot of the high-tech '80s, even if its engineering was stuck in second gear.

11ty Meetup followers...

Zach agreed to fund the 11ty meetup within 11ty. I donated our remaining Open Collective balance into the main 11ty one and archived ours.

All recurring donations are now cancelled (thanks Cory D and @bobmonsour.com !)

To donate to us in future, just donate to 11ty!

🤫 Spoiler alert! Thanks to @jabron.us ’s superhuman icon design efficiency, we were able to slot the new CSS logo into the imminent 6.7 release!

fontawesome.com/icons/css?f=...

However, we moved fast and broke things 🥲: we accidentally made it Pro-only, but it will be included in FA Free in 6.7.1.

Screenshot from https://fontawesome.com/icons/css showing the new CSS logo in rebeccapurple

New CSS logo just dropped. Thanks for the tip, @jabron.us!

More info: github.com/CSS-Next/log...

A rebeccapurple-colored rounded box with the top left edge left sharp. The text "CSS" appears at the bottom right.
