Fluid transitions are one of those things that looks better in the design process than in actual use.
One recommendation if you do these - store a cookie called transitionCount.
Set your transition duration and distance to x/tC. Transitions will get snappier as a user uses.
The untold story of Malaysia's role in SpaceX's survival.
Malaysia was instrumental in keeping SpaceX alive in its early years. One could argue it helped save Elon during his lowest financial period.
Falcon 1's first three launches, 2006 to 2008, all failed. The company was nearly bankrupt — grown men were weeping after the third failure. The fourth flight in September 2008 finally reached orbit with a dummy payload, RatSat. But still, no paying customer.
SpaceX needed a real commercial customer to prove the business was viable.
That customer was Malaysia.
Malaysia was looking to launch its satellite, RazakSAT, and needed a reliable, cost-effective option. Dr Ahmad Sabirin first give Elon a call on Christmas 2003 to explore the possibilities of launching of satellite to the low equatorial orbit and met in El Segundo, And after many discussions, they agreed to launch from Omelek Island in the Kwajalein Atoll.
On July 14, 2009, RazakSAT flew — the fifth and final Falcon 1, and SpaceX's first-ever commercial launch. The Malaysian flag Jalur Gemilang was painted on the side of the rocket.
That payment helped SpaceX make payroll through its hardest stretch. And it put Malaysia in orbit. Win win.
For old times' sake, Elon should drop by Malaysia. Ask someone to hold his teh tarik for one more handshake.
Dr Ahmad Sabirin & Elon, 2004.
Introducing a Design System Agent, powered by Fable 5.
Sync your components, typography, spacing, colors, rules.
Share with your team, design anything.
Watch me change everything within Duolingo's design system on @magicpatterns:
On iOS 27 applying .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.soft, for: .top) to a List simply removes the navbar background and adds a tiny, subtle blur at the very top of the view
Every time a new model drops, someone says designers are dead. Fable 5 is the biggest one yet.
So I gave it the @LottieFiles Creator MCP and asked it to animate. Real Lottie, one prompt, runs in production.
Does this kill motion designers, or finally put it in everyone's hands?
Design is full of codewords. Knowing them changes what you can ask for, and what you can get back, whether you're working with devs, or an AI.
“tint this neutral color”, “fix this widow”, “nudge it to the optical center”
I wrote them down: https://t.co/aFyd5avj9o
Created a new variant of the Border beam UI effect: Pulse. Inner and outside types, multiple color variants, dark and light mode
https://t.co/DXXKEm9Gf1
npm install border-beam
you will learn a lot about animation by scrubbing things frame-by-frame
make it a habit
for example ↓ notice how apple transitions the lines in and out differently
there's usually a reason 🤙
