slack violates a fundamental principle of design: fitt's law

the amount of time it takes your eye to move from one bit of the screen to another is based on how far apart they are

the time i wasted reorienting after opening a thread, sheesh

glad i’m not using slack anymore

apple notes is where i kept all my tasks for years

even at companies that used jira! or linear!

that's why in our task tracker app we made it as easy to create a task as it is to create an apple note. ZERO friction

notion is so buggy

the new oss openai model likes tables, let's see what it's like trying to create a table in notion…

gen-z doesn't know how the file system works so we're building the no-folders work app

finally, we use an svg mask to only render a border around the element

you'll notice the conic gradient didn't cover the entire menu item. that's because the animation ends up looking really bad on very wide elements (like this one) if you don't stretch out the gradient!

we apply a css transform to make sure the gradient covers the entire element

next, you need a conic gradient

annoyingly, html supports conic gradients but svg doesn't. so we need to use svg's <foreignObject> element to embed a <div> with a conic gradient in the svg

how we built glowy selectors for our docs app

and we did it with a technique from Discord that terrifies accessibility engineers everywhere 🧵

not sure if i should ship, needs a little more polish, but i'm really liking it right now

thanks nintendo

(btw, this is what the feature looks like on the switch 2)

after getting absolutely wrecked by my friend in mario kart this weekend…

i added the Switch 2 glowy focus rings to my docs app

work should be fun :)

my friend texted me a question and i responded with a blog post

for the node.js devs out there: write your own database clients (link in the reply)

emojis are out

they're boring. everyone knows the ten good ones. they aren't expressions of your personality anymore

for alpine.inc we've commissioned custom illustrations you'll use instead to react on posts, chats, and more

with a radial picker inspired by video games:
