That's it. I'm switching to unstyled HTML. I can't take this anymore

You've got it. It doesn't have to be golden. That was just useful for other personal preference reasons.

I wish so badly that I knew how to do that

Well obviously you need to buy an M4. /s

It KINDA does. But if you read the current docs you'll see it's clearly a rudimentary precursor to the sophistication tailwind has

Man I gotta hang out here more, I really have no idea what I'm talking about do I? Haha

But my versions are the lower contrast ones. edit: wait are you on light mode or dark mode? I work in light mode where mine are lower contrast but i swapped to dark and now it's reversed.

Unfortunately I've already ported in all the radix primitives. I actually found out about Base literally the exact day I finished it. Then I saw shadcn just upgraded to Base. So it looks like shad once again proves the gary oak in the

Thanks! It'll get there eventually, for sure. Feedback like the stuff in this thread helps a lot.

Aw. Got me emotional over here. Thank you for the support! Definitely won't give up. And definitely do take the feedback as a compliment!

Hi, I'm the author, it me. You're right, I need to be clearer that golden ratio doesn't automatically equal beautiful. It's not sacred geometry. It's just pretty. I like it. And studies show people at large tend to

Yeah it's a huge problem. Not accessible either. Idk what I was thinking. The next release will use radix primitives.

Yep. It's way too large in linear scales. but if youre using an asymmetrical scale, it can be quite useful indeed. You don't have to use it though. The system works with any scale factor. 1.618 is just the default. This video expl

Whoa that's fascinating! Thank you so much for sharing this, I never would've thought of it that way at all.

by Garrett_Mack 7mo ago
No, the opinion is valid. And it's not hard to do, what you're describing. In fact, it's easier than what I've actually done here.

The CSS is vanilla at least. Look up liftkit-core.css in the repo and you can adapt it easily to any other project that supports CSS.

You don't actually HAVE to use phi. That's just the default global scale factor. You're correct that it's kinda marketing spiel. I figured I needed an angle to stand out in the crowded design system world and now I'

Hahaha are you the one who submitted the form with the email address "FUCK_YOU@DUMB.COM"? That calculator is for agency services. LiftKit itself is free.

by Garrett_Mack 7mo ago
Thanks! Yep, super gimmick. I picked golden ratio because I thought it was a good eyecatcher. To be clear; You don't HAVE to use the golden ratio. You can set your global scale factor to anything you want in /liftkit-core.css. I j

I didn't know what web components were until after I'd released it for React. I was working in a complete vacuum until I put this out there, and then I started to get involved with the community. Before that I was pretty much the

Agreed. New docs are under construction and they'll be posted on a separate website. The agency came first and then liftkit came after, which is why it's hosted on there now. But I'm shutting down agency operations and so the

Because I didn't/don't know tailwind super well. There is a community plugin, though. https://github.com/jellydeck/liftkit-tailwind

by Garrett_Mack 7mo ago
Yeah the docs are like that because I didn't know React well enough to make my own docs and so I stuck with Webflow and realized very quickly I'd made a huge mistake. But I needed to get something out there to buy time while I fig

The CSS is in the github repo here: https://github.com/Chainlift/liftkit LiftKit's free forever to anyone. It's just early stages and bad. The idea was that if a company wanted to hire us for direct support,

Thanks for the tip! That actually was the first idea but I didn't end up doing it, for some reason. Thanks for the suggestion.
