Tried really hard to resist but you nerd sniped the hell out of me @scott.is 😩 Gonna pull @sugarcube.sh's internals into two DTCG libs: a reading and an editing one.

My music player got a new home at libras-music.app and comes with a new website and demo player. Let me know if you have a feedback.

Someone already tried to alert the maintainer of this dumb tool I found, but I can see nothing has been done by said maintainer as usual 🙄 github.com/sugarcube-sh...

Which is great for me, obviously, but it's also a deliberate choice driven by the whole point of this ridiculous years-long project, namely, that sugarcube (including studio) should just sit on top of the system you already have.

Mark Tomlinson @marktomlinson.dev · 23/09/2026

This removes a frankly ridiculous amount of stuff I would otherwise have to build: hosting, sync, storage, history, permissions, etc.

I'm building sugarcube studio (the missing GUI/OS/IDE or whatever you want to call it) on top of devfra.me and git/GitHub/other git hosts.

Sorry for the slow reply, I've been trying to give your design system its own IDE and it's quite tricky okay.

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, Nate. A lot to say. But just on that last point, that's very much what inspired the original post. Even though it is difficult to envisage a way forward, there is value even in giving voice to the idea and asking the question: what if...?

Ayyyy! Just released 1.0 of my take on an opinionated CSS framework. varde.variant.dev/docs/ Look, I love packages, but isn't it something magical about just referring to a CSS file? To get fonts, colors and utilities. It's probably not a design system, but it certainly is the foundation of one.

Okay here's the plan. We take the selfless behaviour I've personally seen you exhibit in other places, bottle it, and distrib at scale.* *Jk I'm aware that these are structural problems not solved individually and that a logic of self-sacrifice is almost certainly not the answer.

Mark Tomlinson @marktomlinson.dev · 19/09/2026

I look (admittedly from the outside) at communities/projects such as @bomb.sh and @e18e.dev and take inspiration. Co-ops are obviously a whole other thing. In the past I've come across things like www.workers.coop and www.coops.tech Would love people who know more than me to share here.

I have a lot of feelings about the whole CSS-Tricks debacle. Here's me trying to be constructive about it. ericwbailey.website/published/cs...

CSS-Tricks could be a co-op

The web will calcify without voices sharing what they know.

Ah man most days I also feel it bursting out of me but fall silent behind not knowing how to give voice to it all.

Fewer startups, more co-ops. Fewer founders, more communities.

Wouldn't it be cool if someone had been building something that would make that declarative ui layer available for people's DS's for free so they didn't have to sign up to another platform, get AI unnecessarily involved, or introduce yet another proprietary source of truth into the mix?

Been building with Vite DevTools the past few months and it’s sooo good. And just started with Devframe directly for something else. The possibilities are definitely crazy and so much fun

Been hard at work to create an opinionated CSS framework. Best thing in it is what I dubbed <color-mode>. It sets a a color palette and everything inherits from it. The possibilities it opens for composing is positively bonkers. Got 4 different button variants, but color is not an axis. 🧵

Not missing anything obvious imo. Occasionally there is a very real need but in general if you find yourself creating a bunch something has likely gone wrong
