Working on a capsizecss / Radix by WorkOS mashup

Code is done & demo site is up vite-plugin-capsize-radix.bricolage.io Tomorrow I'll get the package published (correctly) and a blog post out. Very pleased with this — capsizecss & Radix by WorkOS are a killer combo

Pretty excited to be speaking at Web Directions Code this year! Finally putting a story around the innovative work going on in Capsize, deep-diving into how we leveraged font metrics to mitigate layout shift caused by loading a web font. Come along 👇 webdirections.org/register/?even…

🇲🇾 I'll be in KL next week, and presenting at KualaLumpurJS on Tuesday. Talking about how we extended Capsize, combining font metrics with modern CSS properties, avoiding the typical Cumulative Layout Shift experienced with web fonts. meetup.com/javascript-mal…

Thanks to SEEK Asia for inviting me over to speak at Kuala Lumpur JS this week. Was a lot of fun sharing our journey to extend capsizecss and mitigate the layout shift impacts associated with loading a web font. It was a great turn out and super engaged crowd.

🚨Milestone Alert🚨 PR is open to extend capsizecss metrics to support different font weights and italics! All metrics are now statically available in the `@‌capsizecss/metrics`, enabling the generation of weight and style aware fallback fonts🤯 github.com/seek-oss/capsi…

I've been talking so much about "font weight" recently that my news feed is full of "weight loss" ideas and suggestions 🤦‍♂️

🌶️ Considering how technical design systems become it kind of feels weird now when companies are primarily looking for designers to lead their design system team. IMO most of the time you should be actually looking for a design engineer who knows how to bring technical solutions

Had a lot of fun presenting at Web Directions Code Conference last week in Melbourne. Met so many great people, from those passionately sharing their learnings and deep dives, to the coffee chats during the breaks! Thanks again John Allsopp for organising another great event 👏

My talk from dotJS is now up! Thanks to Vite ⚡, the lines between libraries and frameworks are blurring. So much so that some frameworks might not even call themselves frameworks anymore. youtube.com/watch?v=WXV_MZ…

Exciting to see Capsize text trims coming to the platform! Being able to influence naming and implementation of future CSS via GitHub is 🔥. Trying to steer the default under text-edge for `cap` and `ex` to be `baseline` rather than `descent`. Thoughts? github.com/w3c/csswg-draf…
