When writing CSS I tend to sprinkle in utilities for overwrites and one-off styles. Since these utilities mostly come from my design system anyway, I built a UnoCSS preset that turns your design tokens, defined as custom properties, straight into utility classes. www.npmjs.com/package/@luc...

CSS snippet showing design tokens in a :root tag.

:root {
--color-text-primary: #111;
--color-text-secondary: #555;
--spacing-sm: 0.5rem;
--spacing-md: 1rem;
}

@custom-media --md (min-width: 768px);

I’ve been toying with this idea lately: What if, instead of vibe coding custom design tools, we brought LLMs (preferably small local ones) to drive custom design tools.

Really enjoyed reading this well put post, even if it brought back a lot of memories of sitting through design-vs-engineering sprint planning meetings Matthias describes.

I've been sitting with an uncomfortable observation for a while: The tech industry decided design is an engineering problem. Measure it, optimize it, converge. But meaning doesn't work that way. And it's why everything looks identical today. designsystems.international/ideas/symbol...
