Bruno Stasse @brunostasse.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

Just added an `updateThemeColor()` function to @silkhq.com that lets you update the page `theme-color` used for the iOS status bar while preserving the dimming that makes it blend with the Sheet's Backdrop. Pretty useful when you're switching between light/dark mode from within a Sheet!

Apple says the new iOS Safari is all about an immersive, edge-to-edge experience. But after testing it out, that promise doesn’t hold up. In fact, beta 1 delivers the least immersive experience ever, unless you only visit websites from the ‘90s when `position: fixed` didn’t exist.

Just shipped a big revamp of Silk examples' code. Each example is now fully self-contained, making it much easier to just copy/paste into your own project. The generic part of the example is now also structured as compound components, matching Silk's API and providing granular control. v1 → v2

The backdrop not covering the status bar when opening a sheet on the web makes it feel... subpar compared to native. So in Silk I baked-in the ability to blend them together by automatically dimming the theme-color in sync with the backdrop opacity.

Little UX improvement to the music player example that'll come with the code revamp I'm working on: you'll be able to scroll the page right after swiping down the panel, without having to wait for the animation to end.

Want a sheet that can only be dismissed with a button tap? With Silk just set the `swipeDismissal` prop to `false` and the sheet won’t be dismissible by swipe. On iOS the user can still swipe the sheet, but it will snap back into place instead of closing.

Revamped the Community sheet and made it accessible through the nav. Really like that little sheet switching

With Silk you get a nice <Sheet.Backdrop> sub-component that animates its opacity automatically as the sheet goes in and out of the view. It also has a special prop to blend it with the iOS status bar, and you can make it respond to swipe or not. All fully configurable.

import { Sheet } from "@silk-hq/components";

const BottomSheet = () => (
<Sheet.Root>
<Sheet.Trigger>Present sheet</Sheet.Trigger>
<Sheet.Portal>
<Sheet.View>
<Sheet.Backdrop
themeColorDimming="auto"
swipeable={false}
/>
<Sheet.Content>
...
</Sheet.Content>
</Sheet.View>
</Sheet.Portal>
</Sheet.Root>
);

Using Radix's DropdownMenu or other overlay components? Silk is built to be fully compatible with all of them. Just added a guide about it to the docs.

Did you try installing silkhq.co on your home screen? It extends below the status bar there. That's how it looks

Bruno Stasse @brunostasse.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

`<Sheet.View>` is Silk's most important sub-component. It defines the area where the sheet is visible, but it's also where you set most of its configuration. It has props for content placement, detents, swipe behavior, interactions outside, and a lot more.

import { Sheet } from "@silk-hq/components";

export default () => (
<Sheet.Root>
<Sheet.Trigger />
<Sheet.Portal>
<Sheet.View
contentPlacement="top"
detents="100px"
swipeDismissal={false}
inertOutside={false}
>
<Sheet.Backdrop />
<Sheet.Content>
Content
</Sheet.Content>
</Sheet.View>
</Sheet.Portal>
</Sheet.Root>
);

Added some very nice quotes to Silk's website

This move by the DOJ is bad news for the web. Google is singlehandedly founding up to two-thirds of browser engine development (Chromium & Gecko) at the moment. Cut that off and the platform will likely stagnate and slowly become irrelevant...

Just released Silk v0.9.0, which improves compatibility with Tailwind v4 and some build tools! Silk's CSS styles are now exported from the package, letting you import them as you need in your project.

Bottom sheets are great, but what about top sheets? Swipeable. 120fps. On the web. Made with Silk.

Bruno Stasse @brunostasse.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

ˋ<Sheet.Trigger>` in Silk isn't just used to open a sheet, it’s a versatile component. You can use it to dismiss a sheet, or step to the next detent too.

<Sheet.Trigger>
Present the sheet
</Sheet.Trigger>

<Sheet.Trigger action="dismiss">
Dismiss the sheet
</Sheet.Trigger>

<Sheet.Trigger action="step">
Step to the next detent
</Sheet.Trigger>

Bruno Stasse @brunostasse.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

Working on improving Silk's compatibility with Tailwind V4. V4 use of CSS `@layer` makes Tailwind's styles less specific than unlayered styles. This means you currently need to use a ˋ!` marker to override Silk's (very few) default styles. Aiming to remove the need for that workaround.

I built Silk to feel right on both mobile and desktop. You can swipe sheets with your trackpad, just like switching workspaces or going back in the browser. If you’ve got a mouse, the scroll wheel works too. Or just click the backdrop or close button. No mouse? Hit escape.

Bruno Stasse @brunostasse.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

In Silk, the `<Sheet.Root>ˋ sub-component acts like an umbrella that gathers and links together the other sub-components. It holds the states that needs to be shared among them. For example, it is where is set the ˋpresented` prop, which allow you to make the sheet a controlled component.

import { Sheet } from "@silk-hq/components";

const BottomSheet = () => {
const [presented, setPresented] = useState(false);

<Sheet.Root presented={presented} onPresentedChange={setPresented}>
<Sheet.Outlet />
<Sheet.Trigger />
<Sheet.Portal>
<Sheet.View>
<Sheet.Backdrop />
<Sheet.Content>
<Sheet.Handle />
Content
</Sheet.Content>
</Sheet.View>
</Sheet.Portal>
</Sheet.Root>
};

Typesetting on the Web just got more beautiful! Support for `text-wrap: pretty` has landed in Safari Technology Preview 216. @jensimmons.bsky.social's post on the WebKit blog explains how this improves typography in multiple ways: no more ragged edges, poor hyphenation, or short last lines.

Silk is low-level and unstyled by default. The examples are just a starting point to help you move fast—but you're not limited to them. It's highly flexible and designed to let you build whatever swipeable (or not) sheet UI you may need. Go wild with it!
