insane how much good will, longstanding trust, and real business 1Password is willing to destroy just so they can donate some money to a racist project — this is such a catastrophically dumb move that should’ve been a no brainer to walk back within the first 12 hours

In the next version of React Aria Components, you can use the `render` prop to customize the rendered DOM element. This also receives the component state, which makes it easy to drive animations.
import {Button} from 'react-aria-components';
import {motion} from 'motion/react';

<Button
  render={(domProps, {isPressed}) => (
    <motion.button
      {...domProps}
      animate={{scale: isPressed ? 0.9 : 1}} />
  )}>
  Press me
</Button>

The problem with adding "help wanted" issues on @github.com is that people just feed those to their agent, and loop over PR review comments like drones 🫠 I don't have a problem with using AI, but submitting vibe-coded slop is wasting everyone's time. I doubt this will be enough, but it's a start:
43 labels
(no vibecoding)
This issue is intended for human brains to resolve.
