Page with background parallax. 120fps trackpad swipe animation. Animated header fade. Fully accessible. On the web, with @silkhq.com

Just added an `updateThemeColor()` function to @silkhq.com that lets you update the page `theme-color` used for the iOS status bar while preserving the dimming that makes it blend with the Sheet's Backdrop. Pretty useful when you're switching between light/dark mode from within a Sheet!

If you're doing cool stuff with @silkhq.com too, send it my way, I'd love to see it!

This is what the mobile web should have felt like all along. My goal is to make this the new normal.

Tjek’s eTilbudsavis web app, home to digital catalogs from brands across Scandinavia, is now using @silkhq.com. It looks great, check it out 👇

Sometimes all you need is a clean, smoothly animated page. 120fps enter/exit animations. Inner scrolling with overshoot. Perfect body scroll locking. Fully accessible. Made with @silkhq.com, on the web.

Rich in-editor hints for @silkhq.com just shipped! You now get information about each component, sub-component and prop inline as you type. Learn what is required, what things do and how they compose together without leaving you editor.

Coming soon: Rich code editor hints for Silk ✨ You'll know which sub-components are required, how they compose together and what their props do without leaving your editor.

Long scrollable sheet. Swipe up or down to dismiss with your trackpad. Made with Silk, on the web.

Silk is getting an upgrade today. It's a letter. silkhq.co becomes silkhq.com

Apple says the new iOS Safari is all about an immersive, edge-to-edge experience. But after testing it out, that promise doesn’t hold up. In fact, beta 1 delivers the least immersive experience ever, unless you only visit websites from the ‘90s when `position: fixed` didn’t exist.

Sheet with transient detent. The intermediate detent is removed once the sheet reaches the last detent. Swipe up or tap the input to expand. Scroll to dismiss the keyboard. Swipe down to dismiss the sheet. Made with Silk, on the web.

Just shipped a big revamp of Silk examples' code. Each example is now fully self-contained, making it much easier to just copy/paste into your own project. The generic part of the example is now also structured as compound components, matching Silk's API and providing granular control. v1 → v2

Detached side drawer. Scrollable, swipeable, stackable. Made with Silk, on the web.

The backdrop not covering the status bar when opening a sheet on the web makes it feel... subpar compared to native. So in Silk I baked-in the ability to blend them together by automatically dimming the theme-color in sync with the backdrop opacity.

Little UX improvement to the music player example that'll come with the code revamp I'm working on: you'll be able to scroll the page right after swiping down the panel, without having to wait for the animation to end.

Simple swipeable page on the web, made with Silk.

Want a sheet that can only be dismissed with a button tap? With Silk just set the `swipeDismissal` prop to `false` and the sheet won’t be dismissible by swipe. On iOS the user can still swipe the sheet, but it will snap back into place instead of closing.

Working on revamping @silk_hq examples' code to make them a lot more flexible and easier to drop into your project. One change I’m making is switching from props as slots to compound components that match the actual API. before → after

Detached sheet made with silkhq.co on the web. Natural overshoot, status bar blending with the backdrop, swipe or click outside to dismiss.

Revamped the Community sheet and made it accessible through the nav. Really like that little sheet switching

With Silk you get a nice <Sheet.Backdrop> sub-component that animates its opacity automatically as the sheet goes in and out of the view. It also has a special prop to blend it with the iOS status bar, and you can make it respond to swipe or not. All fully configurable.

Using Radix's DropdownMenu or other overlay components? Silk is built to be fully compatible with all of them. Just added a guide about it to the docs.

Toast with natural swipe overshoot. Implemented with @silkhq.bsky.social and React on the web.

Did you try installing silkhq.co on your home screen? It extends below the status bar there. That's how it looks

`<Sheet.View>` is Silk's most important sub-component. It defines the area where the sheet is visible, but it's also where you set most of its configuration. It has props for content placement, detents, swipe behavior, interactions outside, and a lot more.

After playing with the demo, all I can say is: hnnnnngggg

Added some very nice quotes to Silk's website

This move by the DOJ is bad news for the web. Google is singlehandedly founding up to two-thirds of browser engine development (Chromium & Gecko) at the moment. Cut that off and the platform will likely stagnate and slowly become irrelevant...

Little bouncy card implemented with Silk on the web. Swipe up to dismiss

Just released Silk v0.9.0, which improves compatibility with Tailwind v4 and some build tools! Silk's CSS styles are now exported from the package, letting you import them as you need in your project.

Bottom sheets are great, but what about top sheets? Swipeable. 120fps. On the web. Made with Silk.

ˋ<Sheet.Trigger>` in Silk isn't just used to open a sheet, it’s a versatile component. You can use it to dismiss a sheet, or step to the next detent too.

Working on improving Silk's compatibility with Tailwind V4. V4 use of CSS `@​layer` makes Tailwind's styles less specific than unlayered styles. This means you currently need to use a ˋ!` marker to override Silk's (very few) default styles. Aiming to remove the need for that workaround.

G̶o̶o̶g̶l̶e̶r̶… ex-Googler. nerdy.dev/ex-googler

I built Silk to feel right on both mobile and desktop. You can swipe sheets with your trackpad, just like switching workspaces or going back in the browser. If you’ve got a mouse, the scroll wheel works too. Or just click the backdrop or close button. No mouse? Hit escape.

In Silk, the `<Sheet.Root>ˋ sub-component acts like an umbrella that gathers and links together the other sub-components. It holds the states that needs to be shared among them. For example, it is where is set the ˋpresented` prop, which allow you to make the sheet a controlled component.

Which styling solution do you use these days and would you like to see Silk examples for? CSS and SCSS? Tailwind CSS? CSS Modules? Something else? Let me know in the comments 👇

In case you missed it, Silk Commercial Plan now starts at €299.

Typesetting on the Web just got more beautiful! Support for `text-wrap: pretty` has landed in Safari Technology Preview 216. @jensimmons.bsky.social's post on the WebKit blog explains how this improves typography in multiple ways: no more ragged edges, poor hyphenation, or short last lines.

Swipeable music player. Made with Silk, on the web.

I've just added a guide to the docs on using Silk's sheet as a controlled component. Let me know your thoughts and if you'd like more guides like this!

Silk is low-level and unstyled by default. The examples are just a starting point to help you move fast—but you're not limited to them. It's highly flexible and designed to let you build whatever swipeable (or not) sheet UI you may need. Go wild with it!

Here's the code it takes to create a bottom sheet with Silk. Its declarative API, based on sub-components, aims to cover the most common use cases out of the box. When needed, you can opt into more imperative methods to make your sheet controlled.

I built Silk to feel right on both mobile and desktop. You can swipe sheets with your trackpad, just like switching workspaces or going back in the browser. If you’ve got a mouse, the scroll wheel works too. Or just click the backdrop or close button. No mouse? Hit escape.

To make Silk more accessible to indie hackers and early-stage startups, I am introducing a new €299 tier for businesses with 1 to 5 employees. I also plan to introduce purchasing power parity pricing in the future to ensure Silk is affordable in lower-income countries.

Since last week, I have added a "Usage" section to Silk's docs to integrate it with other tools. It currently has four pages: • Usage with Vite & Next.js Pages router: These environments don't import global CSS automatically from packages. Their configuration needs to be tweaked a bit to allow it.

Silk relies heavily on web APIs, like Scroll snap and WAAPI. While building it, I also took care to anticipate new ones, like the Scroll-driven animations API.

In case you missed it, the code for Silk's 12 basic examples is available on CodeSandbox for you to explore and play with. The code for the 4 most advanced examples is available upon purchasing a commercial license.

@brunostasse.bsky.social's Silk library is already causing ripples! ❤️ (Also thnx @nerdy.dev for following up!) github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...
