are there any affordable/open source chrome extensions for tts on articles/blogs that doesn't sound like crap?

gotta larp yc though 😔

roughly a year ago, I made this animated list component, inspired by @magicuidesign however, at the time I did it with @motiondotdev because I lacked the CSS knowledge to emulate it without motion today, I recreated it with just tailwind, courtesy of the teachings of @emilkowalski in his animations on the web course! view component here: anthonyhoang.dev/craft#anima…

oftentimes, navigation tabs use a pill background to indicate the active tab before learning about clip-path, I’d move the pill with translateX and transition the text color separately what's the trick for the clip-path approach? you duplicate the links and position one set absolutely one set has the default text color, the other set has the active background/text color, and by tracking the position/dimensions of the active tab, you can clip the active set into the pill shape

i was experimenting with clip path 👀

data attributes are so neat! I built this sheet from scratch to apply my knowledge of them

every full time employee deserves some amount of equity, whether they work remotely or irl. this just seems really unfair + is a bad take imo lol maybe just don't hire remote employees then? 💀

design engineering is more than just the visuals, such as taking into account a11y :)

after spending some time on the CSS portion of @emilkowalski's animations on the web course, I realized that I've been abstracting with framer motion for what I could've just used CSS for so I spent 15 minutes refactoring the projects page on my portfolio, and utilizing just CSS additionally gave me the ability to improve accessibility for keyboard users! it's crazy how I just replaced something that initially involved javascript with just CSS before vs after below:

i started playing chess again recently, 600 elo playing like a 1250 👀

calling it now: i'll be interning at vercel or linear as a design engineer sometime next year 😌

I totally forgot, since I have my own blog, I have the pleasure of adding this scroll to top button 😂 now I'm a professional blog writer

can we start normalizing the use of SVGs over images to render logos on websites pls, I feel like maintaining high quality for logos is sometimes overlooked

geist pixel is such a beautiful font

"Technology can make it easier to build or faster to build, but sometimes it also makes it harder to care for the craft." - Karri Saarinen, Crafting Quality That Endures I've been learning more about design engineering recently, and part of that was redefining what the essence of taste meant to me. it just so happens that a big part of taste involves craft. but what exactly is craft? I like to think of craft as simply showing that you care in your work. for instance, you can gauge picasso's craft through his works of fine art; you can tell that he truly cared about the art that he made. I find what @karrisaarinen says to be profoundly true because, in the age of AI, a lot of people can be so concerned with shipping fast that they often lose sight of their craft. I genuinely do believe that behind every good product, exists good craft; and good craft tends to lead to high quality outputs. if you're able to show that you care through your craft in your product, people will notice, and users will come. thus, I believe that craft is indispensable. piped.video/watch?v=pCil7YNh…

struggle with reflection leads to internalization, and internalization with opportunity leads to success

all the more reason taste is becoming a priority

this has become one of my favorite quotes recently: "If taste is just personal preference, then everyone’s taste is already perfect.” - Paul Graham @paulg makes a very solid point here, the essence of taste is in fact beyond mere personal preference alone a good way I like to think about taste is that it's a combination of personal preference + what's societally considered of good quality (great aesthetic and great UX) when someone asks me for examples of good taste, I usually like to point them towards @linear the people at linear deeply care about their product, beyond mere product functionality. every interaction, every animation, every visual component; all of these are carefully thought through and executed in a tasteful manner if you're able to discern good UI/UX in conjunction with societal/cultural standards, I'd say you have good taste
