Design Shack
3 years, 1 month ago I’ve decided to post about this here, as I find that a project can be a much bigger success if it has received input from plenty of people. I’m working on a new site (designshack.co.uk - don’t try, it’s password protected) which will be a design community, and a resource of CSS and inspiring designs. I know there are a few sites around already which do this, and do it very well. I want to offer something different and unique.
What would you like to see in a CSS resource site? And if anyone’s interested in doing some beta testing, let me know. It’s always great to get feedback as the project moves along.
Look forward to your input.

I’d like to see an iconic legend containing specific compatibility information for the top browsers. If there are bugs or no compatibility on a given item, it would be intensely helpful if an alternative method was listed.

Maybe you could make a PHP file that grabs the URL’s of all CSS files associated with a website. And presents you with them: Screen, Handheld, Print, etc… Or, if there is only one, then you get taken directly to it.
That might be overkill, but I would certainly use it.
Also, I think ALL your out going links for resources should *not* open in a new window. But instead have some method of letting the user know it will take them off your site. Thereby giving the user the choice to CTRL+Click (or whatever). Hope you follow me

Kind of along with what Olaf Gradin said:
One thing that would set it apart from the rest is to do something like maybe have a database full of all the bugs in CSS (per browser) and show how to offset them.
Like, you would have one big entry for IE that says like:
The ‘text-align’ tag is broken and shifted to the opposite direction.
Fix: Use the opposite direction then you want and it will display the correct way.
Ok, so thats not a real bug, but hey, it would be very cool to have a cheat sheet like that.
