What we learned from creating PostCSS - 12 years ago, we created PostCSS, a CSS automation tool with 400M monthly downloads. In this post, we share what we learned during this long journey maintaining such a popular open source project evilmartians.com/chronicles/wha…
This is me a couple of days before the first release of PostCSS.
From my new article about the history of PostCSS and the lessons I learned from it (for example, how to break an API when you have 400M downloads per month).

With 2.5X more downloads than React today, @PostCSS is the story you need to learn! For me, it's a story of bold vision, big dreams, strategic community empowerment and...
PostCSS: born from vendor prefix pain, now quietly shaping the CSS universe, alongside Google and Tailwind. What 12 years of building for devs taught us—mistakes, speed, burnout, alchemy, told by our very own @sitnikcode:

Watching over this project for 11 years is hard (and I also need to watch over PostCSS and Autoprefixer).
Support like this from @kinsta really helps me keep going. Thank you!

If you search npm for "browserslist-config," you'll find plenty of shared configs from big companies showing their target browsers:
npmjs.com/search?q=brows…
Curious to see the browser support policies from different folks.

The web is getting more invasive—how do we fix it? Andrey Sitnik @andreysitnik (of PostCSS fame) will dive into privacy-first architecture, local-first alternatives, and real-world strategies at Svelte Summit Spring 2025.
PostCSS 8.5.2 was released.

Consider supporting him since he does a lot for CSS tooling as postcss-preset-env (CSS polyfills) maintainer:
