No news to report this week. Adam is on [vacation](https://x.com/adamwathan/status/1780025207639384424?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) and the rest of the Tailwind Labs team is working on [Catalyst stuff](https://x.com/reinink/status/1780012467390763017?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com). It's a well-deserved break! Let's dive in! ## **📚 Learning** ![](https://tailwindweekly.com/content/images/image-145.jpeg) ****[Things That Can Break aspect-ratio in CSS](https://frontendmasters.com/blog/things-that-can-break-aspect-ratio-in-css/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)** This one is short and sweet. It outlines 3 ways that break the aspect-ratio CSS property. I found #1 interesting, I had never encountered that one before, so I learned something new! ### **[When to use CSS text-wrap: balance; vs text-wrap: pretty;](https://blog.stephaniestimac.com/posts/2023/10/css-text-wrap/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)** The TL;DR is "*use text-wrap: balance; on headings and subheadings. And use text-wrap: pretty; on paragraphs of text to get rid of orphans on the last line.*". Still, I highly recommend you check the article; it goes over good reasons why you should follow this rule of thumb. ### **[Styling External Links with Attribute Selectors](https://css-irl.info/styling-external-links-with-attribute-selectors/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)** Attribute selectors are like this a\[href='/'\] (the brackets) and they're pretty handy for custom stuff. This guide's specific use case is also very useful for when you want a CSS-only approach, and it's great for accessibility, too. ## **💅 Showcase** ![](https://tailwindweekly.com/content/images/image-146.jpeg) ****[Versoly](https://versoly.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)** Versoly is a page builder built with Tailwind CSS that has been in the community for a few years now, and I want to revisit their updated homepage design. With its soft blue hues and minimalist design, it's very different from your typical flashy site builder website and I think that's what makes it shine. ## **🎁 Resource** ![](https://tailwindweekly.com/content/images/image-147.jpeg) ****[Tailwind Colors](https://tailscan.com/colors?ref=tailwindweekly.com)** The creator of [Tailscan](https://tailscan.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com), a Chrome extension for Tailwind devs, created this resource for the Tailwind community. It's a cheat sheet for the Tailwind color palette, and while we have featured a few here, I really like the simplistic design of this one, I hope you do too. ## **👌 Cool Stuff** Some of these are affiliate links, so I get compensated in some way if you buy through them at no cost to you. **["Level up with Tailwind CSS"](https://shrutibalasa.gumroad.com/l/level-up-with-tailwind-css?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com)** by Shruti dives into real-world Tailwind examples and **offers tips even seasoned users will find valuable**.
