Thanks! It animates too. 😉

All of the colors are calculated based on a single CSS variable using relative oklch, so you can change the theme with just one line.

--tint: green;

Modern CSS is amazing! 😲

Screenshot of all the components with various color themes: indigo, blue, green, pink, red, and orange.

Having a blast re-designing all the React Aria examples this week. Flat design is so over – bring back depth! 😃

Screenshot of various UI elements including textfield, date picker, select, tags, radios, slider, switch, checkbox, buttons, progress bar, table, number field, combobox, and menu.

Almost done moving my day job’s design system fully over from Radix to react-aria 🔥🔥🔥

Huge improvement imo. And all without a single API change

If you’re curious how React Server Components integrate with a bundler, how “use client” actually works, and how RSCs can even benefit client rendered apps, tune into my talk at React Conf at 2:30 PST today!

What a nice view to wake up to for React Conf!

Yes. We're still planning a TagField, which would allow "inline" editing of the tags (like the gmail "To" field). But you can get pretty close with Select + TagGroup + Autocomplete example I showed.

Here's the demo shown in the video combining a Select with a TagGroup. You can add a TagGroup within a SelectValue and access the selected items via the render prop function. It also uses Autocomplete to allow filtering. Composition ftw! 😀

<Select>
<Label />
<SelectValue>
<TagGroup />
</SelectValue>
<Button />
<Popover>
<Autocomplete>
<SearchField />
<ListBox />
</Autocomplete>
</Popover>
</Select>

Cool. I've been testing it with some React Aria demos I'm working on. Very excited about it.

Pretty amazing that we can now implement swipeable Tabs with native CSS. Updating the React Aria demo I made a few years ago to use native scroll snapping, scroll timeline, and anchor positioning instead of Framer Motion. Feels smooooooth! 🎉
