well we have some new css stuff to talk about there's some there's some interesting ones have you seen i bet you haven't seen i bet you i would guess that you maybe have seen alpha which looks cool
yeah oh i've seen alpha yeah or i haven't seen it in production live are people using it or is it
I kind of like it because that's what my mind is wanting sometimes is like add alpha to this color.
There's like use the color function and then like destructure the color or whatever and then add the alpha afterwards.
And then the other one is color mix and mixing it with transparent, which is more well-supported anyway and
we're, we're not, you know, like, do you need it? Probably not if you can achieve it other ways, but you know, just in the ways people think they, they don't think I'm going to destructure a whole bunch of colors.
Like, does that make, like, you have to like make a new, like you have to explode a color to like add in, you know, like opacity.
