I believe not so many libraries go open-source after so many years staying behind a paywall. I appreciate everyone who will repost this release and hope to get it in front of more people working on their own design systems or looking for libraries for their products ❤️
Figma library is published to the Figma community. It feels great to be able to share more behind the scenes for it now as well, especially when it comes to the new Figma features adoption and sharing best practices for large design systems 🫰

All source code is available on GitHub. I would be happy to see more people explore the code and the contributions are always welcome. And don't forget to give it a star ⭐

When starting Reshaped, having a paid license kept me going but also felt wrong sometimes. I wanted to give back more to the community. After 5 years – it is finally happening. Reshaped React and Figma libraries are now open-source.

Probably I should've shared it on bsky too 😅 Noticed people coming to the website from here and figured out that's you sending them ❤️
Feels like most of the communities Im in are primarily active on Twitter now and posting in both places at the same time feels too much like work, so find me there for now 🥲
Haven't realized this before but you can backtrack by one element in css with :has
Reshaped v3.7 is out today with a lot of accessibility improvements, new ActionBar variants, flexible FileUpload triggers and much more ✨

Having fun with another small feature after a queue of accessibility improvements: turning ActionBar into an actual action bar that can be positioned and toggled ✨
I often see engineers getting surprised by this but tabs navigation should be arrow based, similar to radio buttons. So keyboard / screen reader users don't have to go through all the tab items before getting to the content 👀
lol this duck
Or at least find the right boundaries for positioning, like if you don’t want to sync the position for a container with overflow auto.
@sid.st you’ll have to fix this now 😄
Yeah, always on the fence with these complex examples. But always feels so good once you actually face this in your product and don't have to think about it since design system already handles this for you 🙌
Got toasts with actions? Make sure they're included in the tab order and don't hide the toast while user focus is inside it ✨
If you have any that want to argue that – send them my way 😂
bsky found a solution for it though, doesn't really open it with keyboard
We don't but then we look around the web and it's everywhere. I'm writing this message in a modal that has language selection dropdown in it 😅
I guess this becomes a month of accessibility tips while I'm finishing the review of all Reshaped components ✨
If you're implementing focus trap for your components, remember that nothing prevents them from being nested and you need to restore the focus all the way back 👀
Keep forgetting to add this to my docs 👀
Another accessibility detail (more common to handle) – make sure to have a single focusable date in calendars but the default should be last focused date > selected date > today > first date of the month
Yes, you’re totally right right
Easy to miss a11y detail: if you remove DOM elements while they're focused – move the focus to another relevant element in the same group ✨
Not a fan of horror/zombies but that was quite a ride. Feels good to be able to complete the whole thing just now. Each award this game got was absolutely deserved ✨
The law of conservation of icons states that the moment an icon is fixed in one product - it gets broken in another

🙌🙌 thanks
Today is my first day at Shopify. It's strange setting everything up from scratch and learning new habits, while at the same time I'm very excited about it. After 8 years working in the same company, in the same team – it feels good to switch topics. Here goes nothing ✨
born to LMFAO, forced to LOL
Been there, done that. What really helps me all the time is just to build a small circle of like minded people around (same values) that I can always pair/chat with outside of the “assigned scope”. Probably more of a large company thing, not sure how much it relates to your situation
