A bunch of examples of how text-wrap:balance could be useful.

Could’ve used this just the other day, actually.

If fixing the introverted checkout button caused a three-quarters of a percentage point increase in online orders, it would increase Darden’s revenue by $8.1 million annually.

Jason documents his struggles trying to order from Olive Garden, and notes how a simple fix could provide them a significant boost in revenue.

Alex posted a follow-up to a prior post on avoiding scrollbar jumping when using content-visibility.

It’s clever stuff—the combination of ResizeObservers and IntersectionObservers helping to avoid the shifting around that would occur otherwise.
