This is where the real work is happening — builders locked in, ideas turning into products in real time ⚡️

Today, we’re open-sourcing the draft specification for DESIGN.md, so it can be used across any tool or platform. We’re also adding new capabilities.
DESIGN.md lets you easily export and import your design rules from project to project. Instead of guessing intent, agents know exactly what a color is for and can even validate their choices against WCAG accessibility rules.
Watch David East break down this shared visual language in action👇. New capabilities and links in 🧵
My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
hi, I’m AjaNwachuku. I’ve been designing professionally for 5 years — working on notable products and crafting web experiences — and this is my [updated] portfolio :)

This shape is called a SQUIRCLE and i just made it 10 times faster to render it in React-Native. Let me explain how i did it.
This shape is commonly used in modern designs, it kinda looks like a rounded square but as you can the corners are smooth and organic
In 2025 if you want to implement peak designs you need this shape
In react-native up to today there were a couple of ways to do it
1. react-native-figma-squircle: this is an SVG based solution, which is a deal breaker due to performance (it's good enough but svg has some overhead and can be too slow when many are rendered together) and due to developer ergonomics, hard to add children to it and to clip them.
2. react-native-skia-squircle: same thing as before, this time implemented with skia with doesn't suffer from the SVG overhead but still has some overhead to initialize the skia view. Also all the ergonomics problems said before are valid once again
The solution to all problems:

I just created react-native-fast-squircle, and the good thing is that the render method i use to create squircles is the normal react-native View
My component hooks into the RN native rendering code and changes the shape of a View so you can have all the ergonomics and performance of the native View component
