New CSS media queries boost

Short summary

CSS media queries @media (hover: hover) and @media (pointer: fine) detect device input capabilities instead of device type, enabling more reliable responsive design. The author provides practical examples in vanilla CSS and Tailwind, with a reference table for different device-input combinations. This approach is superior to checking screen dimensions for adaptive interactions.

• •@media (hover: hover) distinguishes hover-capable devices (desktop/laptop) from touch-only devices
• •@media (pointer: fine) differentiates fine pointers (mouse/stylus) from coarse input (touch)
• •More reliable than viewport-based detection for conditional styling of interactive elements
