I also like ambient music and a nice côte de boeuf bien persillée.
Just started using Zed and noticed it misses this feature to easily convert colors in CSS I have in VS Code.

Hey 🖖 I was reading your article about Sail and stumbled on this "Sailpen" link shown below the component preview in your documentation.

I just stumbled upon the Primer (GitHub's design system) design tokens naming convention documentation. It's really thorough and contains lots of visuals: primer.style/product/prim...

While reading this article (wattenberger.com/thoughts/boo...) from @wattenberger.com I stumbled upon this idea of letting the user define context via different inputs instead of writing everything in a prompt.

I like this a lot from a learning/teaching standpoint.

I've been setting up an icon library in Figma for work lately. And I stumbled upon dozens of icons that I needed to rename.

Thankfully Figma has a bulk rename feature compatible with regexp ✨

Before: iconName_650

The more I look at eBay design system, the more impressed I get.

They also open sourced a Figma plugin that helps product teams make their UIs accessible. It targets both designers and developers which I like a lot.

For now my variants are stored in a TS type 'title-1' | 'title-2' ...

Has anyone done this?

Just discovered fixtured.com which is a really nice calendar to help you see all soccer games from all major leagues.

It's rare to see such well crafted UIs for soccer tbh. Let's see how it goes 🤞
