This is a game changer in the named color technology! 🌈

With CSS5 color-mix() function, you can get a closer match to any sRGB color you want using only named colors.

Compare this beauty:

I made a *very* dark mode for I Write Like. 😁

Ooze mode, inspired by Stephen King's On Writing, helps you REALLY spot those adverbs!

Found an interesting switch variant. Good or bad? I'm not a fan.

Apple's animation of modal dialogs in Aqua served the purpose of indicating that they were attached to a window. Most web apps, and even macOS now, use background dimming for this. There's no point in animating it. Try it — your app will appear more responsive.
