🍜 Cozy Ramen Night 🌙
Hi everyone! 👋
I just published my CSS Art submission for the Frontend Challenge.
I'd love to hear what you think—whether it's about the artwork, animations, or overall design. Constructive feedback is always welcome! 😊

Happy coding, and good luck to everyone participating! 🚀✨
Let's gooooooooooooooo
🍕 Nonna's Table 🔥
Hey folks! Just dropped my submission for the challenge — a wood-fired pizza place landing page, built around the idea that comfort food is really about the ritual around it, not just the food.
Would genuinely love a second pair of eyes on the scroll animations (GSAP + Motion) and whether the copy feels warm without being cheesy 🍕. Any feedback is welcome!

Good luck to everyone else who submitted, excited to go through the other entries 👀
had to copy the link and opened it on a new tab, you could maybe try to embed it using CTRL+K, humble opinion though lol :)
Haha thanks for the heads up! Totally forgot to format it properly. Appreciate the tip! 🙏
Looking forward to this!
Just submitted my Perfect Landing entry and had a lot of fun with this one -
thanks for a prompt that turned out to be more about memory than food.
One small thing I could use help with: the post is published with all four
tags and it does carry the Perfect Landing submission badge, but it isn't
showing up in the /t/frontendchallenge feeds. The page metadata has
author-trust 0 and robots nofollow, which I suspect is why. Would someone from
@devteam @jess be able to take a look?

Good luck to everyone else building this week - there are some seriously
lovely entries in this round already.
i wanna try this!!

This was a fun one! Good luck everyone! 😃
🫓 Pupusas at Midnight 🕯️
Just published my CSS Art submission: El Salvador's national comfort food — pupusas with curtido and salsa, drawn entirely in CSS. No images, no SVG.
The twist: the scene has a light switch. One single div with mix-blend-mode: multiply turns the whole table into a night pupusería lit by a flickering candle.
🔗 Turn Off the Lights: A CSS-Only Salvadoran Pupusa Table
Would love feedback, especially on the geometric tablecloth — it's five bands of repeating-conic-gradients and it fought me the whole way. Good luck everyone! 🇸🇻
link seems broken was eager to see your submission.
Already working thanks! 🙏
Hi DEV team! 👋 Quick flag: my two submissions for this challenge (published Aug 1, both with the required tags and templates — they even got the automatic submission badge) are publicly accessible at their URLs but don't appear in the #frontendchallenge feed, while entries published the same day by other authors do. It looks like an automated spam filter caught them, probably because I published several posts that day. I emailed support@dev.to on Aug 3 — sharing here too since the submission deadline is approaching. The posts:
Thanks for taking a look, and thanks for a wonderful challenge theme! 🥣
Closing the loop: the DEV team lifted the flags and my entries are back in the #frontendchallenge feed 🎉 If your posts are affected too, email support@dev.to — they sorted mine within days of a clear report. Thanks to the team for the quick fix! (Links are in my original comment above.)
Did you get any updates regarding this? I've been facing the same issue.
No updates yet, unfortunately — I emailed support@dev.to on Aug 3 and flagged it here yesterday. My posts are still missing from the tag feed as of this morning (they load fine at their direct URLs, and the submission badge is there, so the entries seem registered — it's just feed visibility). I'd suggest emailing support@dev.to too, so the team can see it's affecting multiple participants. I'll post here as soon as anything changes! 🤞
This sounds like a fun challenge! Will there be any specific expectations around responsive design for the food layouts
Really?
Frontend Challenge: Comfort Food Edition 🍲
Adrak Chai & Samosa — Comfort Food Edition (Corporate Tech Office Tea Break)
Inspired by our daily 5-minute office pantry breaks, I built an interactive CSS art & corporate tea-break scene featuring pure CSS Kulhad Chai, Garma-Garam Samosas, and interactive office characters with voice synthesis!
Would love for you all to take a quick break, check it out, and let me know your thoughts:

Wishing everyone the best of luck with the challenge! 💗✨ May your creativity shine and your CSS behave on the first try Good luck, everyone! 🍀
Submitted! 🥣 Two entries for one dish — okroshka, the cold summer soup of my childhood:
They spent their first week invisible thanks to a spam-filter hiccup (fixed now — thanks, DEV team!), so feedback is doubly welcome. Good luck, everyone!
🍜 Tonkotsu ramen with CSS flavour
Hi everyone! 👋
I just published my CSS Art submission for the Frontend Challenge.
Caution : This Artifact is inedible.

This is such a fun challenge
I love how it combines creativity with frontend skills. I’m definitely thinking about building something for it and experimenting with CSS and JavaScript. Might also use CodeCan.net to speed up some of the development and try out a few ideas. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s submissions!
Solid JS write-up. We built a collection of free AI tools at tools.shopveigo.com (image processing, writing assistant, cover letter generator) — all JS/TS under the hood. Happy to share architecture notes if anyone is interested.
Comfort food + CSS art is such a brilliant combo! 🍕 It’s always amazing to see how far people can push pure CSS without relying on heavy JS or images. Looking forward to exploring all the creative submissions here!
This theme hits different when comfort food means chapati and mandazi instead of pancakes.
Thinking of building something around Kenyan comfort food, nyama choma or ugali maybe.
Excited to see how many different food cultures show up in the CSS Art submissions.
Good luck everyone.
Good checklist. I’d add one second-stage check before an agent rollout: run a streaming request with a tool call, then force a client timeout/cancel.
A route can pass the first /chat/completions call but still fail on SSE delta shape, tool_call IDs, or final usage accounting. Keeping the raw SSE events for that test makes debugging much easier.
Comfort food + CSS art is such a fun prompt combo. Already thinking about attempting a steaming plate of biryani in pure CSS, the rice grain texture alone sounds like a fun rabbit hole (probably way too many box-shadow layers, but that's half the appeal of these challenges).
Good to see JS being allowed in CSS Art now too, even if just "a sprinkle", makes stuff like steam animation or a subtle simmer effect possible without turning it into a full JS project.
Came back for the second prompt. After the ChocoDEV landing page, the brand needed a product shot, and the brand's rule is no images ever, so it had to be drawn in CSS: one chocolate bar with a bite taken out of it, fracture facets, crumbs and all.
dev.to/vinimabreu/the-chocodev-sig...
Both prompts done. Now I need actual chocolate.
Submitted mine: ChocoDEV, a landing page for a chocolate brand that does not exist, with a bar you can actually eat chunk by chunk. Zero images on the page, every square, drip and bevel is gradients, box-shadows and keyframes, and the counter is watching.
dev.to/vinimabreu/chocodev-a-choco...
This one was fun. Good luck to everyone cooking.
Jollof rice had to be my entry. Comfort food for me is Nigerian food, and nothing sits at the head of that table like a pot of party jollof.
I built a love letter to it for Perfect Landing: one pot, zero photographs, all CSS. There's a Jollof Wars vote on the page, Naija vs Ghana, and the tally updates live.
🔗 Submission
dev.to/ndcodes/jollof-a-love-lette...
Go and cast your vote. If you've tasted both sides, your vote counts double in my book. If you haven't, that's your excuse to find a Nigerian or Ghanaian kitchen near you and settle it yourself.
Which side takes it?
Hello everyone! I'm Yuri from Brazil. I have a strong background in Process Governance and I'm currently transitioning into Tech, focusing on Cloud Computing (Azure), Data, and Agile methodologies. Excited to connect and learn with this amazing community!
I submitted my entry it was showing in the list for a while, but I'm unable to see it in the entries for a long time now.
Here's my post: dev.to/thatcaffeinateddev/dosa-the...
Lost the last challenge, but I'm back for round two! 🍲 Time to redeem myself with some delicious CSS! 😁 🍽️ 🤤
Let's do it.....
@xulingfeng You think KFC counts? 🤣
Of course not — I'm way too sick of it already🤣
Let's go! I'm in.
Traveling around Food by CSS!
I'm excited to see someone see how far CSS can really go.
I really don't know much Frontend so I am gonna Vibe code it.
This theme is so much fun! 🍜 Can't wait to see the incredible CSS art and interactive recipe sites the community cooks up for this one. Good luck to everyone participating!
is tailwind allowed ??
Great JavaScript content. One thing that often gets missed is the interaction between this pattern and the module system — ESM vs CJS resolution can cause subtle runtime differences in production.
