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? 🤔

Does anyone know if there's a way to have an anchor positioned element stay visible in the viewport as the user scrolls? @floating-ui does this by listening to all of the scroll events on the page, but maybe there's something new coming to solve this?

Agree with buff.ly/z9Nj12w @zeroheight.com / @donnie.damato.design Design systems empower creativity by handling predictable, repetitive components & patterns, enabling teams to focus on meaningful, novel work. Systems are enablers coexisting with continual innovation, not blockers.

I could really use an audio engineer for like an hour to correct my poor use of gain on microphones. 🎤

This is for @bradfrost.com to jam to in the future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH-B...

Last night at trivia there was a "name that sound" question. The woman played the track and a dusty neuron in my brain fired. "You know this, you watched every episode of this show." My wife across the table like a deer in headlights. I could see the other tables were stumped but me, I had this.

Getting the contrasting color from another in CSS has been something I've always wanted, and you may have wanted too. You can do it today, without waiting for the dedicated function!

Now that the illustrations are finally done, I got the accurate page count and finalize the book cover design. We're in the home stretch!

I don't know why, but there's a speed-reading gif being shared around the internet recently. Coming to chime in that I made a codepen that does exactly the same thing nearly 10 years ago. codepen.io/fauxserious/...

One of the sexiest things I've seen in a while. www.beinghd.com/Mobile/MProd...

Hey, are you in New York City? Are you someone who thrives at the intersection of design and engineering? Are you free January 22nd? Well, since you've answered yes to all of those questions come to the first Design Engineering meetup of 2026 at Datadog! Did I mention, it's FREE 💸 luma.com/7hshd3al

Yesterday, we got an interesting case study in the relationship to AI and job loss. Adam from Tailwind CSS disclosed that he needed to layoff 75% of his engineering team. github.com/tailwindlabs...

There's nothing like knowing all the gyms are swamped and playing DDR for an hour all by yourself for your workout. 🪩

I might be biased but the latest episode of Wireframe was :chefskiss: www.youtube.com/watch?v=roCp... @mattstromawn.bsky.social and I spoke about how Tailwind fits into the developer ecosystem and how important it is to choose the best tool for your conditions.

Today @mattstromawn.bsky.social is my guest on Wireframe Live for the first show of the new year! Catch us at 5pm ET today. 👀 wireframe.ds.house

Took the opportunity this weekend to update my desk setup. Now that I have a new video switcher for Wireframe, I brought the old one back up to be on the desk.

If my Gmail wasn't on the brink of overflowing, I'd get behind this (or maybe I should just do a massive cleanup). www.youtube.com/watch?v=swDG...

I woke up to a great message this morning. Wireframe has been featured on Feedspot's Top 10 Design Systems Podcasts! 🏆 podcast.feedspot.com/design_syste...

Sometimes I wonder if I'd be better off just using OBS like the rest of the world. 😵‍💫 Audio routing shouldn't be this hard.

My book is delayed and you can help! The illustrator I had is too busy to engage in the 35 UI illustrations needed to complete the book. If you are or know of an illustrator that has time to deliver UI illustrations soon please let me know! 🙏

Nothing like waking up to community group spam in the morning. 🍵

There's nothing like trying to integrate new equipment into your studio only to find out how disappointing some of the features are. I just redid the entire audio setup for Wireframe tonight. Let's hope for good shows this week! 🤞

If I was still in the competitive fighting game scene, I'd use this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vws... I'm not accurate with a stick, only on d-pad. But many of the games I played required more than one button to be pressed at a time which is hard on most controllers. This solves it all.

With great power comes the ability to fit text. blog.damato.design/posts/fit-te...

Hi folks, anyone who was looking forward to Andii Hei as a guest on Wireframe tomorrow will have to wait a little longer. We had to reschedule for later this month. Stay tuned! 📺

Converge 2025 talks are now available on demand! 👇 We may be biased, but these are some of our best yet. Whether you missed the conference or want to relive the highlights, you can now watch every talk. 💫 🎥 Watch now: hubs.li/Q03Wp53h0

My wife has been coding CSS recently to test design token values. I told her to add box-sizing: border-box to fix a sizing issue she had. She asks, "what's that for?" And this is where she leveled up past designer who tweaks devtools. 🫶

Day after day, I find social media algorithms acting unfavorably. It's why newsletters are a popular. 📨 Except newsletters are mixed in with my inbox of non-industry things so I'm never ready to start diving in. 😵‍💫 Instead, I've decided to put my updates at discord.ds.house, for when you're ready!

Every paragraph of this article is a banger. “We don’t need to reinvent styling. We just need to respect the boundaries that made the web work in the first place. CSS is not broken; our discipline is. The answer isn’t more abstraction—it’s better understanding.” thenewstack.io/css-in-js-th...

I did something similar last year. blog.damato.design/posts/two-ty... Definitely looking forward to the progress() function support!

I miss when replit used to just be a place to share Node.js scripts. Now it forces me to start a project with AI and I'm just sitting here waiting for it to make a whole frontend application for something that could have been a single function. 😞

Hey, if you happen to be celebrating a holiday this weekend, why not spend some time building your own MCP server? Ok there's probably plenty of reasons. But if you're bored maybe give it a try? Here's how I did it. blog.damato.design/posts/minefi...

Another interview down for Wireframe! This time I spoke with TED speaker and design educator Thomas Girard. From being shoeless on stage, to cold emailing John Maeda, and everything in between. Watch the episode here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH45...

I just wrapped up the latest episode of Wireframe with our first guest Arko Sen! We spoke about how he's implemented Mise en Mode and reduced his tokens down to 20! Check out the episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjIw... I'll have another guest live on the show tomorrow at 5pm ET. Don't miss it!

GitHub mobile trying the telephone keypad layout for text formatting options. 😵‍💫

Someone just reported that they joined my discord after finding Wireframe on their FYP at TikTok and all I can think of is this meme.

WCAG 2.2 is now ISO standard ISO/IEC 40500:2025 www.iso.org/standard/910... Wish that number wasn't a mouthful.

LLMs already reference this article 👀 frontendmasters.com/blog/count-a...

Someone on the Internet called chicken cutlets "Italian protein bars" and well now I will too.

Did Cloudflare purposely take their services down so they could hop on the new "Sorry" advertising campaign, but actually mean it?

I think we may have went too far.
