I set up a Gumroad site for the Chakra UI Design System plugin!
If you'd like to support its development, please consider making a donation.
Your support will help keep this project running.
I hope to release the alpha version soon.
Thank you!

Idea: an app that maps a song’s BPM to treadmill speed, so you run in sync with the beat 🏃♂️🎧
Would you use it… and would you pay for it?
I built myself a tool that helps me when AI writes a pile of React code and I don’t know where the source is.
I call it Sourcery. 🪄

It even supports Panda CSS 😏
7 years of Chakra UI 🎉🥳🎊
Really happy to be a small part of this journey and such a great community.
Huge thanks to everyone who has contributed along the way, and to @_estheradebayo for the lovely article 🙌
Happy anniversary, Chakra UI! 🎉
This September makes it 7 years of building Chakra UI @chakra_ui ⚡️
Building something for this long teaches you a lot about consistency
I've been reflecting on the last 7 years and what building DevRel around an open source project has taught me
I wrote all about the experience in this post: dev.to/_estheradebayo/7-year…

The official linting plugin for ESLint and Oxlint is coming in v2⚡️
Panda v2 will ship our official linting plugin for ESLint and Oxlint ⚡️
Define your design system rules 🤝 and @panda__css will enforce them for your team!
The plugin can help you catch invalid or raw tokens, deprecated properties, extraction issues and more
See how it works 👇

Panda v2 is almost here!!!
And this time, the compiler is written in Rust 🦀
👀 Who's ready for it?
Panda CSS v2 is cominggggg 🐼
We rewrote Panda's compiler in Rust 🦀 @panda__css to significantly boost performance and reduce memory footprint
We've been working on this for MONTHS and we're finally ready to get you to try it 😁
Ark UI just released the HOTKEYS utility!
I would highlight the scope setting. You usually do not need it, but when you do, you are really happy it is built in.

While sitting on the beach, I started thinking about what @chakra_ui v4 could look like and put together some ideas and ADRs 🏖️🤔
I opened a discussion and would love to hear your thoughts. Comments and feedback are very welcome!

i was thinking could @chakra_ui simulate the proposed HTML headingoffset and headingreset attributes with a HeadingProvider? 🤔
I shared the idea here, feedback and experimental prototypes are very welcome!

Really cool to see Didi Medina take Panda CSS to the ReactNext 2026 stage 🐼
He gave a talk on Building a Typesafe Styling Toolchain with Panda CSS
Watch the talk 👇🏽

Is the recently merged react-dom browser() API the same as the postpone() API mentioned back in 2023?

Support for CSS ViewTransition API is coming in @panda__css v2 🎉
Plug it into React's `<ViewTransition>` or Astro's `transition:name` and watch it transition nicely ✨
Learning and building with Rust 🦀 has been a fun journey so far.
We've been working to port @panda__css to Rust to make it super fast 💨 and significantly reduce its memory footprint ✨
Help us test and share feedback here 👇🏻

Just discovered the headingoffset proposal. 👀
A simple way to offset heading levels inside a container without rewriting the content itself.

Perfect for cases where your page already has an <h1>, but you’re rendering user-generated Markdown and can’t control whether it starts with #, ##, etc. The browser adjusts the resulting aria-levels for you.

I was wondering what was happening with the React concurrent store proposal, so I asked @acemarke at React Summit. He pointed me to this Reddit thread, where @captbaritone shared the latest update on the topic. reddit.com/r/reactjs/comment…
For anyone who wants more context, this is the proposal I was referring to:

How do you bring a stamp collection online without turning it into just another image gallery?
Inspired by a family stamp album, @rpavlini and @marijanapav created an interactive digital stamp collection filled with playful inspection, thoughtful details, shaders, postcards, and plenty of charm.

Figma just killed my plugin with the latest release 😅 They added design token suggestions for hardcoded values, plus a few extras.
The catch? It’s only available on Organization and Enterprise plans. My plugin is free and available to everyone:
