I was forced to use this years ago because there is only a :nth-of-type selector, but no :nth-of-class. So whenever you need nth-of-class, switch to made-up tags and use nth-of-type. (A tag is a type.)

There is N-th child selector with filter, for example you can write :nth-child(3 of .red) https://waspdev.com/articles/2025-06-29/css-features-web-developers-should-know-in-2025#nth_child_with_a_filter_selector https://waspdev.com/articles/2025-06-29/css-features-web-dev...

  Cool! I guess this now also makes nth-of-type superfluous.

    IMHO this also makes custom tags no longer very useful beyond custom HTML components (JS is also required for that). The standard tags provide good semantics, SEO and accessibility out of the box.
