Yo, it feels pretty great to be featured on the @zeroheight.com blog homepage along with the amazing @resource11.bsky.social and @gerireid.com! Check out "The System Stack" on the Zeroheigt blog here: zeroheight.com/blog/ You can find my article here: zeroheight.com/blog/using-c...
Screenshot of the top of the Zeroheight blog page. Showing a featured section called "The System Stack" where 3 blog posts are displayed: "How to annotate design system components for accessibility," "What's new in the Design Tokens spec: From static to living design data," and "Using composability over inheritance to scale design systems."

Design systems aren’t just about keeping everything looking the same; they’re about making things flexible enough to handle whatever gets thrown at them. Read about how I handle these challenges with Tokens, Composition, and Configuration on the @frontendmasters.com blog!

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

This is going to be incredibly useful! I can’t wait to drop yet another JS library because we can accomplish the same thing with only CSS. Reducing dependencies sold always be celebrated!

Designer friends, I'm looking for some insights and could use your help! What have you found to be the most useful to you (or your team) when it comes to Figma file or project organization? What best facilitates collaboration between multiple people with different working styles?

Sometimes I see things we (collectively in the UI design field) do and it really reminds me how we really lost the plot. Like, what are we even doing anymore.

Just so you’re aware, if you wear glasses, that’s a mobility aid and you’re disabled. Glasses are just so normalized that most people don’t see it as such. Imagine if most mobility aids were that way. Imagine how much more respect disabled people would get. It’s completely possible.

There it is! Finally, a real solution for how to style all of the HTML form controls using your own custom CSS to change anything — building on an interoperable UA set of defaults. First, styling the in-page part of controls + the popover for <select>. (Later we’ll do popovers for more things.)
