Reviews are launched all year long by a bunch of various corporations and organizations researching every part from internet design traits to developer abilities to in style coding languages and so many different issues.
Final yr, it appeared the overarching development was round distant work and its influence 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 a large progress in API utilization, amongst different findings.
So, what’s in retailer for this yr? Learn on to search out out.
Desk of contents
HTTP Archive Annual State of the Internet
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 embrace web page content material, person expertise, content material publishing, and content material distribution. The CSS chapter is written by Rachel Andrew (so you understand it’s good) and reviewed by people that embrace Chris Lilley and CSS-Methods contributor Jens Oliver Meiert.
What it discovered: The final two years has reveals that CSS continues to contribute to total web page weight. This yr was no exception, with CSS weight rising 7% on the ninetieth percentile. That’s on par with previous years.
What was the preferred class title in 2022? .lively. However you additionally see a bunch of vendor-specific prefixes within the listing, like .fa- for Font Superior, and lots of for WordPress, comparable to .wp-, .has-large-font-size, and .has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color (phew!) which I assume is a sign of what the preferred background colour is for WordPress websites.
The report additionally reveals pixels as probably the most generally used CSS unit for the font-size property. Possibly we’ll see that quantity development down subsequent yr after Josh Collinsworth revealed why that’s not an ideal thought.
There’s a lot extra to learn in right here that goes past CSS and is value trying out.
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 listing, the Alexa High 1,000,000 internet sites, and the DomCop prime 10 million domains.
What it discovered: Nicely, hey, take a look at that! The variety of distinct accessibility errors has decreased 1.1% since February 2021. That’s modest enchancment, however we’re nonetheless taking a look at a grand whole of fifty,829,406 errors — or a mean of fifty.8 errors per website — and people are simply those that could possibly be detected! I believe we’d all do nicely taking time to learn Hidde de Vries’s put up on how you can repair the frequent 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 questioned if there’s an excessive amount of CSS in a put up he wrote proper right here on CSS-Methods and a great a part of that was based mostly on the rising variety of CSS options lately. This yr’s survey garnered 8,714 responses from builders world wide.
What it discovered: Some actually neat stuff this yr. With the entire new CSS stuff that’s shipped previously couple of years, there are nonetheless loads of them which have but to achieve traction, whether or not it’s an consciousness factor or the shortage of browser help. For instance, a whopping 46.7% of parents are solely conscious of 40% or much less of the options lined within the survey. Container queries are a great instance of a function with consciousness (58% have heard of it) however little use (12.6% have used it). The :has() selector is a obtrusive success with 54% understanding 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-Methods #1!).
Oh, and don’t miss Lea Verou’s conclusion, which predicts that CSS nesting and colour manipulation will rule in 2023. I agree. Nesting can be a game-changer that might put a dent in CSS preprocessor utilization. And there are so many new colour options at present and within the works which might be positive to influence the best way we outline and use colours. However I additionally suspect that @container turns into a a lot larger deal as browser help catches on and we discover ourselves writing extra container queries the place we could have reached for media queries previously.
Interop 2022 Dashboard
What it’s: That is extra of a reside dashboard than a report. It analyzes knowledge from a hard and fast time limit, displaying outcomes from the web-platform-tests that are a gaggle of check suites for a lot of internet platform specs that run each day. The concept is that we are able to 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 present displaying. And proper now, Safari is main the pack so far as supporting what the main target areas are for 2022, which embrace newer options like Cascade Layers, Container Queries, the <dialog> aspect, Subgrid, and viewport items. Safari scores 89% within the checks, with Firefox proper on its heels at 88% and Chrome/Edge not far behind at 84%.
In the event you take a look at the scores for the experimental variations of these browsers, Safari Know-how Preview jumps manner as much as 94% whereas Firefox and Chrome/Edge sit at 88%. It’s actually robust to make the entire “Safari is the brand new Web Explorer” level lately, not less than in relation to these focus areas. There are different official criticisms of it for manner completely different causes which might be tied to iOS.
What it’s: A survey of roughly 7,000 members of the Jamstack group that gives a snapshop of who Jamstack builders are and the kinds 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 are actually 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 development: In 2021, 32% of parents 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 total 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 probably 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 serious about Notion as a CMS ever since Chris wrote about it 2020.
2022 State of Open Supply

Amongst these? 79% say they sponsor open supply organizations (which is likely to be anticipated from this viewers). Deeper within the report, jQuery (31%) continues to be ranked as the highest expertise for app growth. React (27%) clocks in at second, and Angular (26%) is available in at third.
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.

Apparently, solely 20% of all GitHub repos are public, maybe as a result of personal repos changing into a free function in 2019.
Nothing new has modified on the languages entrance. Final yr, JavaScript was probably the most used language and that’s true this yr as nicely. Nevertheless, TypeScript appears to have slowed down in progress after skyrocketing in reputation final yr. I suspected it will soar up a couple of spots this yr, nevertheless it’s nonetheless in fourth behind Python and Java (which is way from useless).
GitHub Copilot’s influence on developer productiveness and happiness
What it’s: GitHub revealed 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 kinds of issues lined on this report, drawing on survey outcomes they revealed 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. And people who use it full duties ~55% sooner than those that don’t use it for a similar duties. What it feels like, if I’m studying this proper, is that Copilot customers take pleasure in the best way 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. Possibly not the most effective pair programmer on the planet, however one during which your psychological mannequin shifts from writing code to checking code.

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