CSS is so daunting to me and I’m tired of sucking at it.

This course from Kevin on Scrimba came up several times.
Scrimba is an interesting platform that combines video with an interactive code editor. https://twitter.com/shivenigma/status/1253752862196117505?s=21">https://twitter.com/shivenigm... https://twitter.com/shivenigma/status/1253752862196117505">https://twitter.com/shivenigm...

I’ve used sass/scss extensively and don’t plan to ever use the tool again. It has pitfalls and benefits but I’m mostly interested in using CSS and don’t want an extended feature set beyond what postcss surfaces.
