Stories are launched all year long by a bunch of various corporations and organizations researching every little thing from internet design traits to developer expertise to in style coding languages and so many different issues.
Final 12 months, it appeared the overarching pattern was round distant work and its impression on developer productiveness and office environments. We additionally noticed TailwindCSS proceed to blow up in utilization, dismal accessibility on the highest 1 million web sites, and an enormous progress in API utilization, amongst different findings.
So, what’s in retailer for this 12 months? Learn on to search out out.
Desk of contents
HTTP Archive Annual State of the Net
What it’s: A research that appears at 8.3 million web sites sourced from the Chrome UX Report that analyzes how the websites had been made, breaking issues up into sections that embody web page content material, person expertise, content material publishing, and content material distribution. The CSS chapter is written by Rachel Andrew (so you recognize it’s good) and reviewed by people that embody Chris Lilley and CSS-Tips contributor Jens Oliver Meiert.
What it discovered: The final two years has exhibits that CSS continues to contribute to total web page weight. This 12 months was no exception, with CSS weight growing 7% on the ninetieth percentile. That’s on par with previous years.
What was the preferred class identify in 2022? .energetic. However you additionally see a bunch of vendor-specific prefixes within the checklist, like .fa- for Font Superior, and plenty of for WordPress, resembling .wp-, .has-large-font-size, and .has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color (phew!) which I suppose is a sign of what the preferred background shade is for WordPress websites.
The report additionally exhibits pixels as essentially the most generally used CSS unit for the font-size property. Perhaps we’ll see that quantity pattern down subsequent 12 months after Josh Collinsworth printed why that’s not an awesome concept.
There’s a lot extra to learn in right here that goes past CSS and is value testing.
The WebAIM Million 2022
What it’s: An analysis of the accessibility of the highest a million as evaulated by the WAVE stand-alone API. That group of websites consists of domains pulled from from the Majestic Hundreds of thousands checklist, the Alexa High 1,000,000 websites, and the DomCop prime 10 million domains.

That’s modest enchancment, however we’re nonetheless taking a look at a grand whole of fifty,829,406 errors — or a median of fifty.8 errors per web site — and people are simply those that might be detected! I feel we’d all do nicely taking time to learn Hidde de Vries’s put up on the best way to repair the widespread accessibility points outlined within the report.
State of CSS 2022 Survey
What it’s: This survey pokes at CSS utilization every year, surveying builders on the options they use, in addition to their understanding of and satisfaction with them. Co-creator Sacha Greif overtly puzzled if there may be an excessive amount of CSS in a put up he wrote proper right here on CSS-Tips and a part of that was primarily based on the rising variety of CSS options in recent times. This 12 months’s survey garnered 8,714 responses from builders world wide.
What it discovered: Some actually neat stuff this 12 months. With the entire new CSS stuff that’s shipped up to now couple of years, there are nonetheless loads of them which have but to realize traction, whether or not it’s an consciousness factor or the shortage of browser help. For instance, a whopping 46.7% of oldsters are solely conscious of 40% or much less of the options lined within the survey. Container queries are instance of a function with consciousness (58% have heard of it) however little use (12.6% have used it). The :has() selector is a obvious success with 54% realizing about it and 34.8% already utilizing it.
There’s much more in right here, like CSS-in-JS traits (curiosity is downward), accessibility options (wants extra consciousness), and which blogs y’all learn (thanks for making CSS-Tips #1!).
Oh, and don’t miss Lea Verou’s conclusion, which predicts that CSS nesting and shade manipulation will rule in 2023. I agree. Nesting could be a game-changer that might put a dent in CSS preprocessor utilization. And there are so many new shade options right this moment and within the works which might be positive to impression the way in which we outline and use colours. However I additionally suspect that @container turns into a a lot greater deal as browser help catches on and we discover ourselves writing extra container queries the place we could have reached for media queries up to now.
Interop 2022 Dashboard
What it’s: That is extra of a dwell dashboard than a report. It analyzes information from a set cut-off date, displaying outcomes from the web-platform-tests that are a bunch of take a look at suites for a lot of internet platform specs that run day by day. The concept is that we will see which internet options are broadly supported, which of them aren’t, and the way browsers rank by way of supporting them.
What it discovered: It’s much less about what this dashboard has discovered than what it’s at the moment exhibiting. And proper now, Safari is main the pack so far as supporting what the main target areas are for 2022, which embody newer options like Cascade Layers, Container Queries, the <dialog> aspect, Subgrid, and viewport items. Safari scores 89% within the assessments, with Firefox proper on its heels at 88% and Chrome/Edge not far behind at 84%.
Should you take a look at the scores for the experimental variations of these browsers, Safari Know-how Preview jumps method as much as 94% whereas Firefox and Chrome/Edge sit at 88%. It’s actually powerful to make the entire “Safari is the brand new Web Explorer” level as of late, at the least in the case of these focus areas. There are different respectable criticisms of it for method completely different causes which might be tied to iOS.
What it’s: A survey of roughly 7,000 members of the Jamstack neighborhood that gives a snapshop of who Jamstack builders are and the types of issues they’re engaged on.
What it discovered: This survey is attention-grabbing as heck as a result of it affords a peek into issues like job titles and employment on prime of Jamstack-specific stuff. For instance, 4 out of 5 builders at the moment are working distant more often than not and half of these would give up their jobs in the event that they needed to return to the workplace.
Right here’s one other neat pattern: In 2021, 32% of oldsters referred to themselves as “full-stack builders” in 2021 whereas 45% referred to as themselves “front-end builders”. That virtually swapped in 2022, with 44% of respondents calling themselves “full-stack” and 32% going with “front-end”.
You’ve gotta take a look at the complete set of outcomes to get much more insights on what Jamstack builders are constructing and the way they’re constructing these issues. Like, WordPress continues to be essentially the most widely-used CMS at 59% of respondents (22% of which is headless WordPress), however surprisingly, Notion is shortly gaining traction within the Jamstack CMS area, at 26%. I’ve been desirous about Notion as a CMS ever since Chris wrote about it 2020.
2022 State of Open Supply

StackOverflow 2022 Developer Survey
What it’s: A survey of greater than 70,000 builders to measure how they study, which instruments they’re utilizing, and what they need sooner or later.

What it discovered: Whew, 94 million builders used GitHub in 2022! That’s a complete lot greater than the two.8 million who used it in 2012. 20.5 million newbies joined this 12 months alone. Additionally, there was a 20% year-over-year progress within the variety of repos hosted on GitHub, and greater than 3.5 billion contributions to GitHub tasks over the 12 months. Curiously, solely 20% of all GitHub repos are public, maybe on account of non-public repos turning into a free function in 2019.
Nothing new has modified on the languages entrance. Final 12 months, JavaScript was essentially the most used language and that’s true this 12 months as nicely. Nevertheless, TypeScript appears to have slowed down in progress after skyrocketing in recognition final 12 months. I suspected it might leap up a number of spots this 12 months, however it’s nonetheless in fourth behind Python and Java (which is way from useless).
GitHub Copilot’s impression on developer productiveness and happiness
What it’s: GitHub printed a report on GitHub Copilot, its AI-flavored growth assistant. Is Copilot making builders’ lives simpler? Is it making them extra productive? These are the types of issues lined on this report, drawing on survey outcomes they printed in a tutorial paper, and exterior analysis on growth productiveness. There’s good qualitiative suggestions in there as nicely.
What it discovered: Are you able to guess it? Yep, those that use Copilot really feel extra productive than those that don’t use it.

What it seems like, if I’m studying this proper, is that Copilot customers take pleasure in the way in which it handles all of the “fiddly” issues for them — like auto-closing brackets.
Dave’s ideas on Copilot appear to jive with the report’s description of Copilot being like a pair programmer with a calculator connected. Perhaps not the perfect pair programmer on the planet, however one wherein your psychological mannequin shifts from writing code to checking code.
The Software program Home State of Frontend 2022

These figures are much less apparent on this 12 months’s survey. However extra attention-grabbing is what’s included of their techniques. Positive, typography, colours, parts, and layouts are widespread to most of them. But it surely’s the shortage of issues like developer-ready code (65%), accessibility tips (57%), and content material tips (45%) that may be influencing the discovering that solely 65% of people that establish as design system subscribers say they get what they want from their techniques.

So, what instruments are they utilizing? Figma by a loooooong mile for UI design. 73% report Figma as their design software program of alternative, adopted by a neck-and-neck race between Adode XD (6%) and Sketch (5%) for a distant second. Figma additionally leads the pack in the case of primary UI protoyping and managing design techniques.
