Just started using Zed and noticed it misses this feature to easily convert colors in CSS I have in VS Code. I couldn't find any extensions to do this. Is this even possible?

@chsmc.me Hey 🖖 I was reading your article about Sail and stumbled on this "Sailpen" link shown below the component preview in your documentation. Could you tell me more about it please? I'm curious about what it is and what you use it for. Thanks in advance

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... Do you know other public design systems doing this?

While reading "Design That Scales" from Dan Mall today I stumbled upon this definition of DesignOps from @soysaucechin.bsky.social I like:

TIL: the correct HTML semantic structure to write a title, subtitle and tagline. I used to use h1, h2 and h3 to do this but it would then expose an incorrect document structure in the accessibility tree. Instead, wrap your title and its paragraphs within a <hgroup>. 👉 www.tpgi.com/subheadings-...
The correct HTML to write a title, subtitle and tagline in HTML. Instead of writing h1, h2, h3 and so on, we should wrap our title (<h1>) and its associated paragraphs <p> within a <hgroup> element.

Like letting the user select a date thanks to a Calendar component instead of typing the date manually.
The Salesforce chatbot named Agentforce, which displays a calendar to the user when needed instead of asking the user to type a date manually.

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 After: iconName
Figma bulk rename feature that allowed me to use a regular expression to rename dozens of layers.

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. 🎨 Figma: www.figma.com/community/pl... 🤖 GitHub: github.com/eBay/figma-i...

While I was looking at the new eBay design system website I noticed a tool they created to show predefined color pairs for background and foreground elements (text / button) that meet a11y standards: playbook.ebay.com/foundations/...

I need a way to automatically generate stories for all the variants of my <Text /> component. 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 🤞
