I don't often link to Gruber, but this is an excellent write-up of the whole Dye Era. Worth a read, and curious how Apple software design will evolve from now on daringfireball.net/2025/12/bad_...

Excellent article by @den.dev - den.dev/blog/full-st...

especially when it comes to variable fonts these two tools make it easy to inspect all of their features: fontdrop.info wakamaifondue.com/beta

I came for the essay and stayed for that "footer" @frankchimero.com frankchimero.com/blog/2025/be...

I find the new YouTube player UI quite messy and inconsistent. especially the icons.

had a great time yesterday at the first Design Systems Meetup in Vienna. thanks to @dev.orf.at & @felix.wien for organizing it and @dynatrace.com for hosting it!

Figma Make would be ideal to refine existing static prototypes. but it seems you cannot directly hand them over yet? Recreating them via the chat interface is not always that great...

is it mandatory to provide WCAG-compatible contrast ratios for form elements like checkboxes per default in order to be compliant with the European Accessibility Act (EAA)? or could e.g. media queries like 'prefers-contrast' be a solution here? #eaa #accessibility

Spotify is adding lossless audio without any additional costs! 😲 www.theverge.com/spotify/7751...

what are your essential apps/configurations when setting up a new  Mac these days?

almost 20 years ago I started a personal weblog with @wordpress.org which really sparked my interest in webstandards and building an online presence. I just digged into the archives on the @waybackmachine.bsky.social and found some old favorites and sites that are often not existing anymore.

For some time now looking at my iPhone ProMotion screen was causing eye strain and light headache. Apparently limiting the frame rate to 60 Hertz helped. Anyone else experienced something similar?

Releasing Theemo v1.0 the end-to-end design token workflow tool: ✨ Generates Modern CSS: @property, light-dark() and color functions ✨ Integrations with @vite.dev, @emberjs.com, @svelte.dev and @vuejs.org ➡️ theemo.io Release posts (!) in the thread.

so what do you guys now use instead of Pocket? 🤔 www.theverge.com/news/672924/...

does anyone know what glasses Jony wears here? openai.com/sam-and-jony/

what is the best approach to define variable font settings with @tailwindcss.com? apparently there is no official way but found some solutions here: github.com/tailwindlabs...

I really enjoy watching the Light & Magic documentary - so interesting to see how they achieved so many legendary effects, especially in the pre-digital times. www.disneyplus.com/en-us/browse...

He was one of my favorite actors. RIP.

Tonight, starting at 6:30pm at Lendhafen: CSS-in-Graz #6 with special guest Marco-Christian Krenn. Joins us for design tokens, color in CSS, Scandinavian metal, squash, pizza, drinks, and nice conversations with lovely people. ❤️ www.meetup.com/css-in-graz/...

iOS Devs! how do you deal with the new Tabbar in iPadOS 18? afaik it can't be really customized visually and must be positioned at the top, breaking existing layouts.

just when you think the new M4 MacBook Air is your perfect next machine they remove the Space Gray color option in favor of Sky Blue 😐

🤤

Yesterday I got to know about this cool project by two students here in Graz. the attention to performance and cross-browser compatibility is impressive - gizual.com

Blue Sky recreates a phenomenon from ‘old internet’ where you will be scrolling along and then there will just be a link to a cool article that you’d like to read. It’s sad how so much of the modern internet has scrubbed this idea. It’s a network. You’re supposed to explore around it.

oh no! read.cv is winding down: read.cv/a-new-chapter

That menu scroll animation/grid 👌 brand.dropbox.com

the great sidebar.io is back - uxdesign.cc/sidebar-is-b...

I recently enjoyed using @vite.dev for processing a single index.html file for this small (farewell) landingpage - mehlspeisenfrl.com. maybe one of the most simplistic webdev workflows these days?

Motion-Primitives looks awesome 💫 motion-primitives.com

finally watched the great documentary about John Williams. Highly recommended. ondisneyplus.disney.com/movie/music-...

Okay since the post completely tanked over at X (that's kinda good!) I'm asking here as well: Figma Community, riddle me this: When I alt+drag a component - why does it sometimes create an instance of that component, but sometimes it creates a duplicate of said component?

Restarted my MacBook the first time after 2 months now. No, the power button is indeed not that important nowadays.

If, like me, you like typographic deep dives, this one makes for a nice read explaining how Bluesky could tighten things up a notch. 🫰

they listened.

I'm always up for a nice scrolling experience - gehry.getty.edu

yet another great explainer video from Vox - youtu.be/lv1SpwwJEW8

some nice details again on the refreshed Polestar site. www.polestar.com
