Have you ever stared at a site redesign so long that you begin to hate it? This is days after my wife had seen the first draft and said out loud "oh my god, I love it, I want it". attached: sample of redesign.

I have a very important need for corner-shape to be baseline and I need Safari and Firefox to heed the call.

Can someone explain how Mythos was accessed by unauthorized users when it's advertised to be so smart in finding vulnerabilities? Maybe models in glass houses shouldn't claim superiority?

I built an agentic pipeline that takes a Figma file and hands back a production-ready React component in a couple of hours. Output is design-system-team-grade. In a few spots I think the pipeline made better calls than I would have! www.kaelig.fr/design-syste...

Can confirm this for Arc, Brave, Edge, Chromium, Vivaldi on my machine: #Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/anthrop...

My copy arrived over the weekend

I received some feedback that having the Mise en Mode e-book only available on Amazon is limiting. More things I've learned about the book publishing platform. Today, I'm happy to announce availability on Google Books! play.google.com/store/books/... Where else should I consider adding it? 🤔

Old pandemic project that I might consider dusting off with that new pretext technique. The idea was that you could play a youtube video and it would produce kinetic typography captions on top of the video. Just imagine what I could do with less side projects! Eg: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yimk...

That thing you made in a few hours? Probably not a design system. blog.damato.design/posts/the-da...

Got a copy day 1 and am finally getting into it - really good stuff. I finally landed a real design systems gig this year and I've been trying to plot a good course for us. Donnie is mapping so much of my intuition about implementation to well-reasoned systematic thinking I'm definitely gonna adopt.

Have you heard? 📣

Mise en Mode is now part of a balanced diet worldwide! 🗺️ I've had many people reach out about the book only being available to purchase in the US and UK. Today, I'm excited to announce links to the hardcover and newly available digital version! 📷 by Dimitri Otero

CREATION Happy April Fool's Day! xkcd.com/3227/

It's funny because it's true.

Normally, I'd fire up another episode of Wireframe for this news, but I'm still recovering from surgery so a blog post will have to do. blog.damato.design/posts/pretex...

Book writing is hard. blog.damato.design/posts/book-a...

A few dozen photos were taken. This was the most "on brand" photo. 😅 mode.place

5pm ET today: IT ME! 👨‍🎤 www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFjN...

The 5th edition of the Design Systems Report is here 📔 Design systems are now critical infrastructure—but they’re getting harder to sustain. Buy-in is dropping. Teams are stretched. Adoption is still the biggest challenge. Explore the report → hubs.li/Q04774jK0

I've had some folks recently believe that I only work with people who understand CSS well. That is very much not the case. blog.damato.design/posts/thinki...

𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 @ 5𝐩𝐦 𝐄𝐓, I'll be live with @donnie.damato.design on @ds.house’s Wireframe to talk about 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐏𝐮𝐧𝐤, my AI-centric design system, and hopefully a few 🌶️ spicy 🌶️ takes on the evolution of product development. See ya then! www.youtube.com/@designsysho... #designsystems #ai #design

"This proposed API will enable developers to ship faster, more secure apps, easily and accessibly. But don't get too excited because Apple is concerned that, under extremely rare circumstances, it may enable an attacker to change the user's default emoji color, and that will take years to work out."

I’ll be on @ds.house’s Wireframe this Tuesday live @ 5pm ET with @donnie.damato.design to talk about DesignerPunk, my AI-centric design system! youtube.com/@designsysho... #designsystems #ai #design

This post has been in my hopper for a while, but a recent CSS-Tricks article forced me to finally publish it. blog.damato.design/posts/avoidi...

Design engineering is now mainstream. job-boards.greenhouse.io/mrbeastyoutu...

Can people tell me what they like about the new @codepen.io editor? Genuinely interested.

TIL, the `:dir()` CSS selector is adopted across all major browsers. No more hoping that `<html dir>` was set. What a time to be alive! 🎉 developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

There's something oddly satisfying about writing a blog post to argue a point. You get to state your entire case at once with no interruptions, and if you end up on a tangent you can only blame yourself. That said, new blog post coming soon. 😅

Name a TV show you feel like no one remembers but you Square One. I loved this show when I was a kid.

You could have all the accessibility toolkits and plugins and AI agents in the world and it still won’t mean much if your design practice itself is ableist. Unlearning the ableism we are all taught is a much more important part of this work. I should know, I’ve been doing it.

Ok people, I need to know. In design systems, what do you want to automate that you haven't yet automated? 🤖

Oh my, what do we have here 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=funy... 4-key Amplitude, could be fun.

You—collectively—need primitive tokens but you—yourself—don’t need primitive tokens. blog.damato.design/posts/people...

When I interviewed with the haptics team at Google, I asked the hiring manager if they had any tools to help teams figure out the right haptics. There wasn't any. This was what I wanted to build first. Glad someone realized it.

Good news! My author review copy of Mise en Mode just arrived! Bad news. The cover is not what I was expecting, and some of the inner printing sizes could use some tweaking. I'll be working on corrections today. Almost there, so close!

Ready to refactor all my codebases with this. 🚀

Fighting against the bandwagon is exhausting. And people wonder why companies aren't innovating. It's because they won't move unless they see someone else do it. It's one thing to meet expectations, but it's another to never improve because of it.

tabindex="infinity" they'll never tab to anything else ever again!

On the never-ending quest to quell my domain name buying tendencies, I've moved the content at designtokens.fyi to tokenpedia.ds.house. This change has the opportunity to include additional design token resources in the future. Please update your bookmarks!

The itch to redesign my website is coming again. But I have too many projects inflight. 😔 Collecting inspiration doesn't count as working on it, right?

There's someone on Instagram who uses a surgical robot to build Lego sets. He even turns the instruction manual with it. www.instagram.com/dr_nange

This is a very rare lens into how a tech manager handles our volatile landscape from the inside. If you manage a team, this is a must read.

I'm cleaning up some domains and I'm on the fence about keeping dom-tricks.com (I also own domtricks.com). I bought them years ago to be a parody to css-tricks.com but I can't say that I have the motivation to keep and use them. Should I keep them? If so, what would I put there? 🤔
