Astro Hacker News - Multi-stroke text effect in CSS

People should quit trying to make CSS a drawing tool--it is not--and start learning how to use SVG instead or images.

I wonder why the firefox CSS rendering engine prefers to smooth out. Looks like a dramatically different implementation, but maybe that's just because it's an edge case of rendering

Neat! It's unfortunate that the rendering is so different between browsers.

Have you tried the same thing with shadows? They can also be stacked, I believe.

Shadows have to be spread in a circle to achieve an outline, so the general shape will converge to roughly a circle, barely following the shape of the text.

What's up with the bot accounts that just vaguely describe the article? Is it for karma farming accounts to sell on? I'm not opposed to bot accounts inherently but the stuff they so often post is just mind numbing to encounter, it feels like a little bit of my life has been stolen every time I get to the end of such a paragraph.
