When starting Reshaped, having a paid license kept me going but also felt wrong sometimes. I wanted to give back more to the community. After 5 years – it is finally happening. Reshaped React and Figma libraries are now open-source. reshaped.so/blog/reshape... Get the links below ✨

Feels like most of the communities Im in are primarily active on Twitter now and posting in both places at the same time feels too much like work, so find me there for now 🥲

Haven't realized this before but you can backtrack by one element in css with :has

Reshaped v3.7 is out today with a lot of accessibility improvements, new ActionBar variants, flexible FileUpload triggers and much more ✨ Find all the changes in our release notes: reshaped.so/docs/changelog

Having fun with another small feature after a queue of accessibility improvements: turning ActionBar into an actual action bar that can be positioned and toggled ✨

I often see engineers getting surprised by this but tabs navigation should be arrow based, similar to radio buttons. So keyboard / screen reader users don't have to go through all the tab items before getting to the content 👀

Got toasts with actions? Make sure they're included in the tab order and don't hide the toast while user focus is inside it ✨

I guess this becomes a month of accessibility tips while I'm finishing the review of all Reshaped components ✨ If you're implementing focus trap for your components, remember that nothing prevents them from being nested and you need to restore the focus all the way back 👀

Another accessibility detail (more common to handle) – make sure to have a single focusable date in calendars but the default should be last focused date > selected date > today > first date of the month

Easy to miss a11y detail: if you remove DOM elements while they're focused – move the focus to another relevant element in the same group ✨

Not a fan of horror/zombies but that was quite a ride. Feels good to be able to complete the whole thing just now. Each award this game got was absolutely deserved ✨

Today is my first day at Shopify. It's strange setting everything up from scratch and learning new habits, while at the same time I'm very excited about it. After 8 years working in the same company, in the same team – it feels good to switch topics. Here goes nothing ✨

born to LMFAO, forced to LOL

Prepared and sent the content outline for the dropdown talk, fingers crossed now for it to get selected 🤞

hinking a which calendar view to use 🤔

Reshaped v3.6 is out and I myself haven't expected it to ship with all of this✨ reshaped.so/docs/changelog 🎨 OKLCH support in themes 🔄 ToggleButton component 💨 Headless Flyout utility 📊 Design systems comparison Find more details below ↓

After 7.5 years, today is my last day at Booking.com. When I was joining, I mentioned my past design system experience and interviewers told me that's not something they practice in the company 👇

New tiny win with 3 Reshaped source code sales this month and a new release dropping this week ✨

Getting closer to the next Reshaped minor release. It's been more than a month and while I had some time off – I'm quite surprised with how many improvements made it into the release. Shipping on Monday once all documentation updates are done 🔥

Adding a way to extract custom resizable handles into standalone reusable components that can react to its status ✨

Finally adding ToggleButton and ToggleButtonGroup 👀

A bit more tweaking OKLCH warning colors generation. Top is hex based color gen, bottom is OKLCH with a hue tweaked to lean a bit into the orange 🍊

How 10x design looks like

Done with the first version of the content, please don't make me add another library 😅

Back to the homework 😅

Implementing a template for comparing component library features since that's probably one of the most common questions teams are asking me. Starting with creating individual pages to compare libraries 1-to-1 but would it also be useful to be able to compare multiple of them together? 👀

What I really hope for when I'm thinking of Duolingo updating their icon to liquid glass 🥲

Andorra 📌

Preparing for when I’m back. Only one surf lesson today so spent some time comparing all available components and utilities across Reshaped and 5 other component libraries. There are 5 screens like this 🥲

Peniche 📌

Porto 📌

Added pedal to the mix ✨

Releasing the last canary for now and traveling for the next 2 weeks 🔥

Testing some edge cases with autocomplete wrapping while using end slots at the same time ✨

Wish me luck 😅

Living in the future? Reshaped lets you switch to using APCA for color contrast, even for the themes generated in runtime ✨

Got caught off guard with how you still need custom formulas to generate dark mode. I was close to giving up for now but pushed through and got these results for semantic tokens generation. Before (HSL) / After (OKLCH):

Would be nice to have IDEs mark AI generated code with the prompt used to created them and some sort of "versioning". Thinking of the generated code as npm packages installed in node_modules where you know all of it was generated anyways and you can just prompt for another feature 👀

Ready to start testing new colors

Back to colors, preparing a playground for testing oklch-based theme generation 👀

Was worth it not spending too much time in blue prince to play Expedition 33. You can clearly see from the game that there was a small team building it but they were shipping, with an amazing story and soundtrack 🔥

Nice

My new project is to chill a bit every morning before work. Started learning piano, took a few lessons and started practicing beginner arrangements. This is probably one of the most popular beginner songs but still feels so satisfying to play ✨

2 weeks till vacation = 2 weeks till Reshaped release ✨

I think I should try taking my dropdown article and turning it into a talk. Really like the original talk from Perdo but also it was more of a Radix showcase, while I'm thinking of a more abstract and detailed overview. Any CFP currently open? 👀 reshaped.so/blog/buildin...

Got some time to bump Storybook to v9 beta and a11y addon got so much better 🙌

I was quite surprised by this it's not very trivial to add onChange trigger for inputs when you change their value programmatically and just doing custom dispatchEvent doesn't cut it. Now Slider triggers native change event updates and properly renders FormData in the example ✨

Had a great time at Config and walked the most in the past few months. Thank you London 🙌

Finally extracted this fade logic in a separate hook to reuse it across components

Small wins 🥲 I wish I could know the real numbers that include teams using only source code directly
