When you build UI components that are used by tens of thousands of developers, you learn to really care about the details, like:
- Building layouts that don't break when the content is longer than you planned for in Figma
- Making a table scrollable, without the content getting cropped by the page padding
- Automatically aligning icons in dropdown menus, even when some items are just text
- Making an entire card clickable, without destroying the experience for screen readers
- Fine-tuning click targets for mobile, without making everything else harder to maintain
- Getting the border radius mathematically perfect on nested elements, without hard-coding magic numbers
“Build UIs that don’t suck” is a crash course in some of the coolest tricks I've picked up over the years building things that need to be both beautiful and bullet-proof.
Every day for a week I'll send you a short video lesson walking you through an interesting UI problem, as well as the code so you can play with it yourself and adapt it for your own projects.
