Design tokens are the visual design atoms of the design system — specifically, they are named entities that store visual design attributes. We use them in place of hard-coded values (such as hex values for color or pixel values for spacing) in order to maintain a scalable and consistent visual system for UI development.

The term “AI” is thrown around casually every day. You hear aspiring developers saying they want to learn AI. You also hear executives saying they want to implement AI in their services. But quite…

As UI design gets more interactive, new skills and faces emerge to give us a lesson on how to get animations and movement right when creating delightful screens for rather little devices. To…

Complex websites have very large amounts of CSS, often with a lot of repeated values. For example, the same colour might be used in hundreds of different places, requiring global search and replace if that colour needs to change. CSS variables allow a value to be stored in one place, then referenced in multiple other places. An additional benefit is semantic identifiers. For example --main-text-color is easier to understand than #00ff00, especially if this same color is also used in another context.

A common trick I use with client work to speed up asset delivery is use cloudfront as an asset host. I'm surprised this technique isn't in more widespread use as it reliably makes for snappier user experiences, especially users with a fresh cache.

This guide assumes you're using the Rails asset pipeline to package and serve your assets. If you're not using the asset pipeline, whatever solution you use to achieve the same result will need to fingerprint asset filenames with some sort of unique identifier for it to work smoothly with Cloudfront or a CDN like it.

Flow is a motion-design tool for animating Sketch files and eliminating the most painful parts of hand-off in app development. It bridges the gap between design and development by generating native…

A little show and tell on creating a Sketch plugin.

The plugin changes the way Sketch renders layers on runtime, and since SketchTool does not load plugins, it just renders layers how Sketch itself would do if AutoLayout wasn't installed.

There's a workaround in AutoLayout (find the 'Prepare for Export' menu option) that basically flattens the render and copies the content to a new document.
