Hello folks!

Quiet week, but more ui.sh invites went out this week. If you're on the waitlist, then check your spam folder.

I got early access to ui.sh last week and my first impression was 🤯. But just like with any other AI tool, the more design guidance you give it, the better the output so I have been learning more about how to create proper design briefs. Fun times!

Inclusive Dark Mode: Designing Accessible Dark Themes For All Users

Dark mode is everywhere, but here's the thing, if it's not designed with accessibility in mind, it can actually make things worse for a lot of users. This article dives deep into the do's and don'ts of building inclusive dark themes. You'll learn why pure black backgrounds are a no-go, how to pick the right contrast ratios for readability, and what typography choices work best on dark backgrounds. It also covers how different visual impairments, from astigmatism to glaucoma to cataracts, interact with dark mode in very different ways, which is something most devs don't think about enough. There's also a great section on making sure your dark mode is machine-readable too, which matters more and more as automation grows.

Spinning Diagrams with CSS

Learn how to create 3D spinning diagrams using nothing but HTML and CSS. No JavaScript, no animated GIFs, just pure CSS transforms and animations. Harold Cooper breaks down how to build a spinning cube using translate3d for positioning and rotateY keyframes for the rotation. He also shows a clever trick to "un-spin" the text labels so they always face the reader using a counter-rotation on inner divs. It performs great even on mobile and you can even select the rotating text!

Subgrid: how to line up elements to your heart’s content

CSS Subgrid is one of those features that solves a super common problem: misaligned content across card layouts when one card has more text than the others. This article from WebKit walks you through how Subgrid fixes that beautifully. The idea is simple: you define rows in your parent grid, then use grid-template-rows: subgrid on the child elements so they all share the same row structure, perfectly aligned content across columns, no matter the text length.
