[Update] 24 biggest canceled TV shows or series ending in 2021 | รายการ no more show – NATAVIGUIDES

It’s the circle of life: new TV shows make us happy and canceled TV shows make fans write angry letters to networks (with some leaving either before their time or closing at a natural ending). This year seems to have more than its usual share of big TV series cancellations, with announcements of long-running favorites like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Black-ish and The Walking Dead reaching their final seasons. The axe keeps falling, too — NBC just canceled Manifest and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.

It’s not just primetime shows that are ending. Conan is hanging up his late night hat after more than 10 years on TBS. Ellen DeGeneres is closing her daytime talk show after a final 19th season, kicking off later this year. And streaming isn’t immune; a bunch of Netflix shows are getting canceled or ending this year.

The pandemic can be blamed for some cancellations, but other shows are ending because their creators planned it this way. Issa Rae will shepherd Insecure to an undoubtedly satisfying series finale, while Liz Feldman took a page from Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s book to close out Dead to Me. And Ozark season 4 wants to go out on a high note with a banger of an ending.

Here are the biggest canceled TV shows and series that are ending in 2021 — plus 9 other shows that we’re waiting to learn when exactly they’ll end. Some will likely conclude in 2022, and some could wind down earlier.

Good Girls (NBC)

Seasons: 4 | Ending: July 8, 2021
Sometimes good girls don’t get what they deserve. On June 25, news broke of the end of the road for the NBC drama series led by Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), Retta (Parks & Recreation) and Mae Whitman (Arrested Development). On NBC, Good Girls was not a hit, but things improved once it arrived on Netflix. Attempts to bring Good Girls to Netflix did not succeed. Via Instagram, Whitman said she felt “too sad and confused” to look at her phone, as she shared phots from “some of the best times with” her “girls.”

Manifest (NBC)

(Image credit: NBC)

Seasons: 3 | Ended: June 10, 2021
The supernatural drama was the latest attempt to recapture the magic of Lost, with a large ensemble cast and mystery box storylines. It even involved a plane! Manifest followed the passengers and crew of a flight who suddenly reappear after being presumed dead for more than five years. Creator Jeff Rake has previously stated that he had a six-season plan for the show, which fans won’t get to see play out unless another network or streamer picks it up.

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist (NBC)

(Image credit: NBC)

Seasons: 2 | Ended: May 16, 2021
The last note has been sung on the musical dramedy, which followed programmer Zoey (Jane Levy) after she mysteriously gains the ability to hear the innermost thoughts of her friends, family and co-workers in the form of popular songs. Musical numbers covered Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” REM’s “Everybody Hurts” and The Beatles’ “Help,” among others. Season 2 ended on a major cliffhanger, which could get resolved if another outlet picks up the show (it won’t be Peacock, though, since they’ve passed).

Jupiter’s Legacy

(Image credit: Netflix)

Seasons: 1 | Ended: May 7, 2021
Netflix launched the first project from its acquisition of the comics imprint to dismal reviews and seemingly low viewership numbers, because the big-budget superhero epic about dysfunctional powered families won’t be continuing — at least in that incarnation (an anime spinoff is forthcoming). Owning IP doesn’t mean you’ve got a franchise on your hands. 

Atypical (Netflix)

(Image credit: Netflix)

Seasons: 4 | Ending: July 9, 2021
Netflix has developed the unfortunate habit of ending shows after three or four seasons, no matter how good they are, and Atypical is a prime example. The Peabody-winning dramedy presented a nuanced, humorous take on a young man with autism making his way through the world — not the usual story for a TV show. As creator Robia Rashid said in a statement, “It’s my hope that the legacy of Atypical is that more unheard voices continue to be heard.”

The Bold Type (Freeform)

(Image credit: Freeform)

Seasons: 5 | Ending: June 30, 2021
Like many other shows, The Bold Type had to cut its season short last year when the pandemic forced it to shut down production. Freeform is bringing it back for a fifth and final edition, which will have to wrap up quite a few dangling threads — like Jane taking on a story that could harm Scarlet editor-in-chief Jacqueline’s career, the implosion of Sutton’s marriage and Kat’s involvement with a staunch conservative — plus deliver a series finale that satisfies fans.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine (NBC)

(Image credit: NBCUniversal Television)

Seasons: 8 | Ending: Sept. 16, 2021
NBC announced it’s closing the book on the cop comedy, which stars Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, Melissa Fumero, Terry Crews and more as detectives at the 99th Precinct in Brooklyn. NBC airing the final 10 episodes in doubleheaders starting in August during the Tokyo Olympics. Let’s hope there’s time for one more Halloween Heist!

Castlevania (Netflix)

(Image credit: Netflix)

Seasons: 4 | Ended: May 13, 2021
Netflix’s anime series will draw to a close, with Castlevania season 4 wrapping up the saga of the Belmont clan trying to wipe out Dracula for good. But fans should take heart — Netflix making a sequel series set in the Castlevania universe focusing on Richter Belmont, a descendant of Trevor and Sypha, and Maria Renard during the French Revolution.

Conan (TBS)

(Image credit: TBS)

Seasons: 10 | Ended: June 24, 2021
After 28 years in late night television, Conan O’Brien is signing off — though he’s not completely disappearing. O’Brien’s TBS talk show will conclude at the end of the 10th season, but he’ll still host Conan Without Borders travel specials for TBS and launch a new, weekly variety series on HBO Max. “In 1993, Johnny Carson gave me the best advice of my career: ‘As soon as possible, get to a streaming platform,'” O’Brien joked in a statement. 

Insecure (HBO)

(Image credit: HBO)

Seasons: 5 | Ending: 2021
Issa Rae started her HBO comedy on her own terms, and she’s ending it that way, too. “We always planned to tell this story through five seasons,” Rae said when HBO announced the show was coming to an end. The last outing for Issa, Molly, Lawrence and crew will air sometime in late 2021.

The Irregulars (Netflix)

(Image credit: Netflix)

Seasons: 1 | Ended: March 26, 2021
The Irregulars seemed destined to be a long-lasting part of Netflix’s burgeoning Sherlock Holmes-verse, which found initial success with Enola Holmes. However, the case has been closed on the fantasy drama featuring the Baker Street urchins who work for Dr. Watson. Theirs is one mystery that will remain unsolved. Recen 

Judge Judy (syndicated)

(Image credit: CBS )

Seasons: 25 | Ending: July 23, 2021
The courtroom will soon be adjourned, when Judge Judy bangs the gavel one last time on her syndicated series some time in 2021. But don’t worry about missing her brand of tough, no-nonsense advice because reruns will continue to air. Plus, Judy Sheindlin will star in a new show, Judy Justice, set to air in 2022.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians (E!)

(Image credit: E!)

Seasons: 20 | Ended: June 10, 2021
E! has aired the antics of Klan Kardashian since 2007 (!), including all of their sibling tiffs, roller coaster romantic relationships and the introduction of the next generation. Now, Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kris, Kyle and Kendall (and uh, Rob) are taking their business to Hulu, no doubt for a huge paycheck. The Kardashians are many things, but they know how to sell their brand.

Last Man Standing (Fox)

(Image credit: Fox)

Seasons: 9 | Ended: May 20
Last Man Standing won’t be the last show standing. Star Tim Allen and the rest of the cast will bid viewers farewell when the ninth and final season concludes on May 20. The series (which started off on ABC, the moved to Fox) flipped around the premise of Allen’s classic sitcom Home Improvement by making him the father of three daughters. The series finale welcomed back Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart) as one of those daughters, who came home for a visit.

MacGyver (CBS)

(Image credit: CBS/Paramount via Twitter)

Seasons: 5 | Ended: April 30
CBS is canceling more shows than ever, including Mom (see below) and the MacGyver reboot starring Lucas Till. The latter became the subject of controversy last year when the network fired executive producer Peter Lenkov for creating a toxic work environment; Till himself talked publicly about enduring verbal abuse, bullying, and body-shaming on the set. It looks no amount of MacGyver-ing could fix those problems and the show ended with its fifth season.

Mom (CBS)

(Image credit: CBS)

Seasons: 8 | Ended: May 13, 2021
The writing was on the wall when Anna Faris left the sitcom last year, but CBS made Mom’s cancellation official in February. Still, Emmy winner Allison Janney told James Corden she wishes the writers had “more time to ramp up to the ending.” Comedy impresario Chuck Lorre himself penned the series finale.

NCIS: New Orleans (CBS)

(Image credit: CBS)

Seasons: 7 | Ended: May 23, 2021
While it feels like all of the NCIS shows could go on and on forever, even they are not immortal. After experiencing dwindling ratings, CBS decided to close the New Orleans outpost (and move on to a more tropical location with NCIS: Hawaii). Scott Bakula and team said goodbye and let the good times roll one last time on May 23.

Pose (FX)

(Image credit: FX)

Seasons: 3 | Ended: June 6, 2021
Always leave them wanting more, right? The history-making LGBTQ+ series is ending earlier than anyone might have thought, considering its many accolades (particularly for star Billy Porter). But co-creator Ryan Murphy said, “We got to tell the exact story we wanted, as we wanted to tell it.” The abbreviated final season jumped forward to 1994, when AIDS becomes the leading cause of death for younger Americans. 

Shameless (Showtime)

(Image credit: Showtime)

Seasons: 11 | Ended: April 11, 2021
Goodbye, Gallaghers, you had a great run. Life will go on for Frank, Lip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, etc. but the edgy, foul-mouthed family dramedy closed the curtains on viewers. We’ll miss William H. Macy pontificating Frank’s drunk but erudite soliloquies, Carl and Debbie’s many scrapes and Lip’s attempt to make a better life for his son.

Shrill (Hulu)

(Image credit: Hulu)

Seasons: 3 | Ended: May 7, 2021
Aidy Bryant has been pulling double duty during the pandemic, making a few appearances on Saturday Night Live while filming the final season of her Hulu comedy. She can rest from all the jet-setting now, since “Annie’s journey comes to a beautiful end,” Bryant said of the finale. We’re sorry to see Shrill go, but can’t wait to see more of one of SNL’s best players. 

Superstore (NBC)

(Image credit: NBC)

Seasons: 6| Ended: March 25, 2021
The underrated workplace comedy, set in a big box retail store, was just as funny and observant as iconic NBC shows like The Office and Parks and Recreation. The writers’ approach to incorporating the coronavirus pandemic was truly genius stuff. The series finale, which aired on March 25, brought back America Ferrera for a final arc that was sweet and satisfying.

Wynonna Earp (Syfy)

(Image credit: Syfy)

Seasons: 4 | Ended: April 9, 2021
The gun-toting great-great-granddaughter of Wyatt Earp is going out in style. The series finale, which aired April 9, was “the most heart-filled episode from start to finish that I’ve ever seen,” star Melanie Scrofano told TV Insider. That included a much-anticipated wedding, some witchy shenanigans and a possible reunion between the titular character and vampire-no-more Doc Holliday.

Younger (Paramount Plus)

(Image credit: TV Land)

Seasons: 7 | Ended: June 10
The comedy has departed its home, TV Land, for the new environs of Paramount Plus. But the antics — and clothes — are just as wacky as ever. Liza Miller (Sutton Foster) isn’t pretending to be a millennial anymore, but her work and love lives are as complicated as ever. The final season saw Liza coming into her own as an editor and making a difficult decision about her romantic relationships.

Shows getting canceled after 2021

Some of these shows could actually end in 2021, but the lack of announced release dates makes those finales unclear. We’ll update this list when we learn more.

Dead to Me (Netflix)

(Image credit: Netflix)

Seasons: 3 | Ending: TBA
Creator Liz Feldman’s decision to end her Netflix show after three seasons was inspired by the short run of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag. It “felt like the right amount,” she told Deadline. Stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini will return to wrap up the story of two friends brought together by murder. 

Dear White People (Netflix)

(Image credit: Netflix)

Seasons: 4 | Ending: TBA
The dramedy about Black students navigating culture and race relations at a fictional Ivy League college has earned raves from critics, even if it never became a full-on sensation. Creator Justin Simien will drop 10 more episodes before departing for more high-profile projects; he’s reportedly attached to a Lando Star Wars series and is making a Haunted Mansion remake for Disney.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show (syndicated)

Seasons: 19 | Ending: TBA
The dancing queen of daytime is giving up her crown. Ellen DeGeneres is choosing to end her show after nearly two decades, telling The Hollywood Reporter, “When you’re a creative person, you constantly need to be challenged — and as great as this show is, and as fun as it is, it’s just not a challenge anymore.” The talk show’s end comes after it was dogged by accusations of a toxic workplace culture. The final season will kick off this fall.

Black-ish (ABC)

(Image credit: ABC)

Seasons: 8 | Ending: TBA
Black-ish may be closing its doors after eight seasons, but several windows are opening. The ABC family comedy has already launched two spinoffs (Grown-ish and Mixed-ish) and is prepping another (Old-ish). But it’s still bittersweet to await the final installment of the flagship, following the antics of Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross as heads of the Johnson family. 

Lucifer (Netflix)

(Image credit: Netflix)

Seasons: 6 | Ending: TBA
Lucifer has come back from the dead so many times, it’s easy not to believe that the sixth season is the end. The show was canceled by Fox, saved by Netflix, canceled by Netflix after season 5 and then un-canceled for one more hurrah. But this time, everyone swears this is the “FINAL final” season. With filming already completed, fans could get their last devilish delight by the end of 2021.

Ozark (Netflix)

(Image credit: Netflix)

Seasons: 4 | Ending: TBA
The award-winning crime drama will conclude with a super-sized season, which “means super sized problems for the Byrdes,” according to star Jason Bateman. Ozark season 4 will have 14 episodes split into two halves; the first batch has already completed filming and could drop on Netflix in late 2021.

Supergirl (The CW)

(Image credit: The CW)

Seasons: 6 | Ending: TBA
Supergirl is taking her final flight on The CW. The show starring Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El is packing the cape in after six seasons (one of which aired on CBS). Benoist has promised that fans will get a “great ending,” while co-showrunner Jessica Queller says it will be “emotional” and feature plenty of familiar faces.

This Is Us (NBC)

(Image credit: NBC)

Seasons: 6 | Ending: Early 2022
Stock up on tissues, because the Pearsons are saying farewell soon — and you just know the tears will flow. The NBC drama is wrapping up in 2022 after six seasons, which was creator Dan Fogelman’s plan all along. Heading into the final chapter, we expect high emotion from Sterling K. Brown, Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia and the rest of the cast.

The Walking Dead (AMC)

(Image credit: AMC)

Seasons: 11 | Ending: TBA
Who else thought that AMC’s drama, like the zombies that populate it, would never die? Until its middle years, The Walking Dead was a massive hit that went on to spawn two spinoffs and possible more. But more and more cast members have left (including star Andrew Lincoln) and ratings have fallen. For everything there is a final season and the time has come for this one-time behemoth, with The Walking Dead season 11 being its last run.

Nowadays developers take advantage of different CSS techniques to create sliders, modals, tooltips, and many more Javascript-based components.

In this article, we’ll work with some of those techniques to implement what we might refer to as the “Show More/Less” functionality, and doing it without writing any JavaScript. We’ll also create a fully functional accordion-style show/hide demo that you can use as a starting point for your projects.

We have a lot to cover (techniques, pitfalls, and challenges), so let’s get started!

Note: This article will not discuss how to make this component accessible, but that could certainly be a valid improvement and maybe a topic for another post.

CSS Requirements

To better understand the process for creating this functionality, you have to be familiar with the following key CSS concepts:

To help out, I’ve created a demo, which you can see below, to give you the knowledge needed to follow along with this article.

See the Pen Lessons to prepare for the checkbox hack by SitePoint (@SitePoint) on CodePen.

Just click on one of the buttons to view a description and demo of the technique.

The Markup

The HTML structure for our demo is shown below:

<ul>
  <li><a href=
"#"
>One</a></li>
  <li><a href=
"#"
>Two</a></li>
  <li><a href=
"#"
>Three</a></li>
  <li><a href=
"#"
>Four</a></li>
  <li class=
"container"
>
    <input type=
"checkbox"
 id=
"check_id"
>
    <label for=
"check_id"
></label>
    <ul>
      <li><a href=
"#"
>Five</a></li>
      <li><a href=
"#"
>Six</a></li>
      <!-- more list items here -->
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

As you can see, we define an unordered list with five list items. The last item acts as the container for our checkbox and its corresponding label. In addition, we include a second unordered list within the wrapper element. This list holds the items that we want to show as soon as the checkbox becomes checked.

Defining Basic Styles

After structuring the demo, we define a few reset styles for our elements. Nothing fancy, just some simple CSS rules that will allow us to enhance the appearance of our component. Have a look at the two rule sets below:

ul
 
{
  
width
:
 
50
%
;
  
margin-left
:
 auto
;
  
margin-right
:
 auto
;
  
list-style-type
:
 none
;
  
background
:
 
white
;
}

li
 
{
  
height
:
 
50
px
;
  
line-height
:
 
50
px
;
  
border-top
:
 
1
px
 solid 
#e9ecef
;
}

Styling the Checkbox Container

In this part of the tutorial, we will set up the styles for the last list item.

First, we change the value of the aforementioned height property. Then, we set its position to relative. This property value is important because it will help us position the label element:

.container
 
{
  
position
:
 relative
;
  
height
:
 auto
;
}

Next, we hide the checkbox:

[
type
=
"checkbox"
]
 
{
  
position
:
 absolute
;
  
left
:
 
-9999
px
;
 
}

…and style the relevant label:

label
 
{
  
background
:
 
#e4e3df
;
  
display
:
 block
;
  
width
:
 
100
%
;
  
height
:
 
50
px
;
  
cursor
:
 pointer
;
  
position
:
 absolute
;
  
top
:
 
0
;
}

Notice that we position our label absolutely and give it a top offset of 0 pixels. So now you might be wondering if we really need those two properties. At first glance they seem unnecessary. But as we’ll see in a moment, these are required declarations.

If you look back at the HTML structure, you’ll see that the label is an empty element. We made that assumption because we want its content to change depending on the checkbox state. To achieve this, we take advantage of CSS’s pseudo-elements. When the checkbox isn’t checked (default behavior), the More keyword appears. Also, for styling we use a few characters taken from the lovely CopyPasteCharacter web app.

The following code snippet shows how we style the pseudo-elements related to the label element:

label
:before
,
label
:after
 
{
  
position
:
 absolute
;
}

label
:before
 
{
  
content
:
 
'More'
;
  
left
:
 
10
px
;
}

label
:after
 
{
  
content
:
 
'⇣●'
;
  
right
:
 
10
px
;
  
animation
:
 sudo 
.85
s
 linear infinite alternate
;
}

@keyframes
 sudo
 
{
 
  
from
 
{
 
    
transform
:
 
translateY
(
-2
px
)
;
 
  
}
  
to
 
{
 
    
transform
:
 
translateY
(
2
px
)
;
 
  
}
   
}

Τhe last thing required is to ensure the adjacent sibling element is hidden by default before the checkbox is checked:

[
type
=
"checkbox"
]
 
~
 ul
 
{
  
display
:
 none
;
}

Mimic the onclick Event

As this point, if we trigger the “checked” state of the checkbox, a number of CSS rules are fired. Let’s explore them!

The first of those rules, which allows us to reveal the hidden elements, is shown below:

[
type
=
"checkbox"
]
:checked
 
~
 ul
 
{
  
display
:
 block
;
}

Next, we change the position of our label. The goal is to position it at the bottom of its parent, right underneath the unordered list. To do so, we use top: 100%;. As a quick reminder (even though it’s beyond the scope of this article) keep in mind that top: 100%; and bottom: 0; don’t produce the same result. In our case, we use the former:

[
type
=
"checkbox"
]
:checked
 
+
 label
 
{
  
top
:
 
100
%
;
}

Last but not least, we have to modify the content of the label. Similar to the previous section, we generate the desired content by using pseudo-elements:

[
type
=
"checkbox"
]
:checked
 
+
 label
:before
 
{
  
content
:
 
'Less'
;
}

[
type
=
"checkbox"
]
:checked
 
+
 label
:after
 
{
  
content
:
 
'⇡●'
;
 
}

Having followed all the steps above, we should now be able to implement a nice toggle effect with plain CSS.

See the CodePen demo below:

See the Pen Pure CSS “Show More/Less” functionality without Transitions (slideToggle effect with no JavaScript). by SitePoint (@SitePoint) on CodePen.

One thing to point out here: The content that expands can be pretty much anything. I’m using a list, and the component looks a lot like a traditional accordion widget. But that’s not what this is. This is a component that has half its content hidden and allows you to show/hide the rest of it with a click.

The component looks nice, but there’s still room for improvement! More specifically, if you take a closer look at the demo, you’ll notice that there aren’t any established transitions between the “on” and “off” states of the checkbox. That makes the final result look a little bit ugly, doesn’t it? So let’s fix this issue by working on a second updated version!

Adding Transitions

The new version aims to smoothly transition between the “checked” and “unchecked” states. However, before showing how we can make that happen, we should first understand which CSS properties are animatable. Thankfully, the W3C informs us in a useful table.

Let’s now revisit the following CSS rules:

[
type
=
"checkbox"
]
 
~
 ul
 
{
  
display
:
 none
;
}

[
type
=
"checkbox"
]
:checked
 
~
 ul
 
{
  
display
:
 block
;
}

The rules above specify the behavior of the second unordered list during the toggle switches. Unfortunately, as the table linked above shows, we cannot transition the display property, so we have to find an alternative. The height property seems to be a good option and thus, let’s redefine our rules as follows:

[
type
=
"checkbox"
]
 
~
 ul
 
{
  
overflow
:
 hidden
;
  
height
:
 
0
;
  
transition
:
 all 
.45
s
 
cubic-bezier
(
.44
,
.99
,
.48
,
1
)
;
}

[
type
=
"checkbox"
]
:checked
 
~
 ul
 
{
  
height
:
 
300
px
;
  
  
height
:
 auto
;
  
}

Once again, keep in mind that we cannot transition the height property to a value of auto. That means we have to define a static value (e.g. 300px). So, due to this restriction, the height property cannot be considered as a good solution.

A better approach is to use the max-height property. However, this option has limitations as well. Depending on the real height of the content that we want to show and the property value that we set, the transition effect will have a different speed. In general, the max-height property can be a solution (in fact an effective workaround) only when we can control the height of the corresponding element. Otherwise, JavaScript would be the only option.

Be sure to check out this StackOverflow thread about transitioning the height property.

Here are the styles that we replace compared to the previous ones:

[
type
=
"checkbox"
]
 
~
 ul
 
{
  
max-height
:
 
0
;
    
}

[
type
=
"checkbox"
]
:checked
 
~
 ul
 
{

   

  
max-height
:
 
300
px
;

   
}

The last step is to transition our label. Remember that its top value changes depending on the state. Although, as mentioned in a previous section, its initial top: 0; property value seemed useless, it actually provides a great way to transition this property. That said, we update the relevant rule so as to include the transition property:

label
 
{
  
position
:
 absolute
;
  
top
:
 
0
;
  
transition
:
 top 
.45
s
 
cubic-bezier
(
.44
,
.99
,
.48
,
1
)
;
}

[
type
=
"checkbox"
]
:checked
 
+
 label
 
{
  
top
:
 
100
%
;
}

Moreover, note that both transitions share the same properties (i.e. timing functions and duration). Even though this isn’t necessary, it helps us produce a smooth transition effect.

See the final demo below:

See the Pen Pure CSS “Show More/Less” functionality with Transitions (slideToggle effect with no JavaScript). by SitePoint (@SitePoint) on CodePen.

Things to Keep in Mind

Before closing, I want to point out something that I noticed while I was testing the demo on different browsers.

If you invoke the “checked” state (click on the label to open it) and don’t move your cursor, the following things happen:

• On Chrome, Safari, IE, and Opera the cursor sticks and the “Fifth” element isn’t immediately highlighted unless you move the cursor.
• On Firefox the demo works as expected.

You can further test this by adding the following CSS:

label
:hover
 
{
  
background
:
 
yellow
;
}

By adding this, you’ll see that when you toggle the label and don’t move the position of your cursor, the label also sticks in its hover state.

Please keep in mind that the issue above happens mainly on the second demo where we added the transitions.

That being said, I don’t think it’s a big deal but I wanted to share it with you!

Conclusion

In this article, we used the “checkbox hack” technique along with the sibling selectors in order to implement the “Show More/Less” functionality with plain CSS. By creating two different versions of our demo, we gained good knowledge of how far we can push the limits of CSS.

I hope you enjoyed the article and maybe it will motivate you to build something interesting with just CSS.
