That's correct, it's a collection of videos specific to CSS.

You'll find a number of EchoJS posts aren't specific to just JavaScript. Per EchoJS.com/about: "Echo JS is a community-driven news site entirely focused on JavaScript development, HTML5, and front-end news."

Oh, I did that comment, as you probably can guess, for the echojs.com/about, in "General rules for posting" clearly state:
"JavaScript related content only"

But then I started thinking that perhaps I was wrong since thinking about it, I'm pretty sure those videos must also talk about how to manipulate CSS from JavaScript.

Yeah, sometimes I have seen some non-JavaScript-related, front-end news here.
I guess some people would argue that EchoJS should be more like a general front-end news site, that covers HTML5 and CSS with the same importance as JavaScript; more like a "Echo-Web-FrontEnd", instead of just focusing on JavaScript.

Personally, I prefer if it stays as a JavaScript focused site, just the way it is right now. But that is only my opinion.

I see CSS posts that are non-JavaScript-related out of place here, the same way I would see out of place a post about SQL that is not related some way with JavaScript.

But hey! Sorry! I wasn't trying to annoy you or imply that the list of CSS videos is not useful.

I just mentioned it because the rules for posting
clearly state that the posts' content *must* be JavaScript related (that and also that they must be on English), not because I don't think a collection of CSS related videos are not useful to the people who visits EchoJS; all the opposite! That list is going to be really useful.

Maybe we should ask Frederic Cambus to weigh in on this given that EchoJS.com/about has conflicting guidelines: one part days JS, HTML5, and other FE-related content, another bullet point days JS content only. My guess would be this forum would shrink in the amount of content that is posted if it were just JS and nothing else, given we already see such a heavy mixture.

I am all for keeping this pure JS. There are other places for CSS / UX / HTML5 / Swift (all stuff that people have posted in the past). The chances are many of us follow CSS specialized sites anyway, then we get the same news more than once.

As for the content shrinking, so be it, it's about quality, not quantity.
