An updated, tagged collection of 292+ articles on design tokens.

Use Knip.
Use the Knip MCP.
Use the Knip VSCode / Cursor extension.
Benefit.

Is that from the Knip extension, @webpro.nl?

🆕 npx unbarrelify

At last, an easy way get rid of barrel files!

Rewrites consumers to import directly from source, then deletes the barrels.

Safe and fully automated, read all about it at github.com/webpro/unbar...

Knip is a cracking-looking open source tool for trimming unused JavaScript.
From the report, we could improve the situation if we stop sending unused JavaScript. @webpro.nl is doing an incredible job growing the usage of knip.dev, and that should hopefully make a dent in the future.

Gotta say, @sanity.io + Opus 4.5 = 🔥

Also, do I happen to know devs with solid Sanity experience here? Looking to connect and line-up someone for possible stand-by/future work. Ideally Dutch and based in NL 🇳🇱

So here's a short write up explaining what happened today and what I'm going through, at a high level. It does include some history too, but I tried to keep it brief.

Serious question: in the upcoming weeks I'll release *my* version of what could have been the Web Almanac CSS chapter on @projectwallace.com. My goal is to tell a story about CSS as it's being used in the wild and to be a canonical reference for many.
