I am so excited for color functions and the future of color on the web that I made a plugin that brings the power of CSS color-mix() into @figma. Generate variables, swatches, gradients and solid fills in various color spaces. The plugin is on the Figma community, code is open source. figma.com/community/plugin/1…

My favorite part of hacker news is where someone crawls out from under a rock to complain about a landing page / article not explaining a popular product

Update for 2024: do whatever you want 🙃
Do not use `import type` unless you need to.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This comment was written before TypeScript shipped the `verbatimModuleSyntax` configuration option, which improves upon the behavior of `import type`: typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#verb… Several experts on TypeScript, including the original author of this comment, no longer stand by this guidance: x.com/atcb/status/17… x.com/mattpocockuk/s…

Want to use view transitions in your SvelteKit app? v1.24 unlocks view transitions with a new lifecycle method. We’ve already added them to the Svelte site - watch the blog titles slide into place! Read all about it in my latest on the Svelte blog: svelte.dev/blog/view-transit…

I’ve made a few tech products, and while I have my strengths and weaknesses, I’ve always tried to understand more about areas adjacent to those I already know well. I think the best products blur the line between where “code” ends and “design” begins. It’s all one thing.
Hot take: I’ve never met a top tier designer that was also good at code. I mean top tier. Not kinda good. They use different sides of the brain, so unless you’re a unicorn, it’s unlikely. So let’s end the debate that designers should learn to code, and vice-versa.
