Dave Rupert shares the details of his 2026 personal site redesign, highlighting three main changes: switching to Cascadia Mono as a monospace font sitewide, adopting named CSS grid lines for flexible layout control, and expanding multi-page view transitions. He also reduced his CSS by 40% (~150 lines, ~0.8 KB compressed) by leveraging modern CSS features like nesting, :is(), :has(), and :where(). The post covers what stayed the same, the reasoning behind each decision, and how named grid lines open up future art direction possibilities.
