Update:

⏰ Pre-launch submissions should be created as PRs into the main branch by Wednesday (7/8) evening so there's time to review and make adjustments.

In 2003, Dave Shea began a legendary project called CSS Zen Garden that provided a demonstration of "what can be accomplished through CSS-based design" until submissions stopped in 2013.

The positive response encouraged me to build out the concept for Style Stage.

I will be launching Style Stage in the next few days, so watch for the follow-up!
