Problem I'm solving with https://t.co/Byo6r4zD1h : When you find an inspiring UI, you screenshot or bookmark it. But screenshots don't save the DOM, CSS, fonts, colors, or animations.
When you need it, its hard to find & you re-inspect from scratch.
That's the gap Stele fills.
HTML canvas has always been a black box to the browser, but not anymore. The HTML-in-Canvas API lets you integrate real DOM elements directly into the canvas, making them fully searchable, accessible, natively translatable, and inspectable. Fuse shaders and semantics to build new UI, eliminating the need for separate DOM overlays → https://t.co/seSmbb2iWq
The web is about to get a whole lot more whimsical and we can't wait to see it 🎨
I've been obsessing over Spatial's color picker. The animation is one of the best I've seen.
Decided to finally reverse-engineer it into an npm package for https://t.co/cB7ZM6lKsd.
Will open-source in a couple of days after final tuning.
(Kudos @tbsrnstrm for the inspiration)
A smooth UI makes all the difference.
Updated https://t.co/cB7ZM6lKsd inspector's micro-interaction:
• Snappy slider with @motiondotdev springs of stiffness: 320, damping: 32, mass: 0.7
• Toolbar background fades to match the header
• 400ms shake error if no item is selected
