Seriously another amazing blog post by Josh 🤩🎉
I love that you let us play around with the CSS and such in the post. Really helps with understanding exactly what is happening.
Thanks Josh 👍🏻

Great article! It always bugged me, that the blur is not taking into account the near pixels as well but it never occurred to me to do this trick.

Excellent work as always, Josh! Keep it up 👏
