Meet our brand new conference for designers and UI engineers who love the web. That’s [SmashingConf Amsterdam](https://smashingconf.com/amsterdam-2026), taking place in the legendary Pathé Tuschinski, on April 13–16, 2026.
The React Foundation has officially launched, hosted by the Linux Foundation.
Every high-resolution hero image, autoplay video, and complex JavaScript animation carries a cost. Sustainable UX challenges the era of “unlimited pixels” and reframes performance as responsibility. In 2026, truly sophisticated design is defined not by how much it adds, but by how thoughtfully it reduces its footprint.
What makes streaks so powerful and addictive? To design them well, you need to understand how they align with human psychology. Victor Ayomipo breaks down the UX and design principles behind effective streak systems.
Designing for mental health means designing for vulnerability. Empathy-Centred UX becomes not a “nice to have” but a fundamental design requirement. Here’s a practical framework for building trust-first mental health products.
How we built and sunset an in-browser agent, shipped MCP integration, and learned that better AI agent support means thinking from the agent's perspective.
Autonomy is an output of a technical system. Trustworthiness is an output of a design process. Here are concrete design patterns, operational frameworks, and organizational practices for building agentic systems that are not only powerful but also transparent, controllable, and trustworthy.
Prescriptive class name conventions are no longer enough to keep CSS maintainable in a world of increasingly complex interfaces. Can the new `@scope` rule finally give developers the confidence to write CSS that can keep up with modern front ends?
Combobox vs. Multi-Select vs. Listbox vs. Dual Listbox? How they are different, what purpose they serve, and how to choose the right one. Brought to you by Design Patterns For AI Interfaces , **friendly video courses on UX** and design patterns by Vitaly.
I used to pay $120/year for a SaaS that hasn’t added new features in four years, and didn’t fix its broken billing system for three years. Using an LLM, I managed to rewrite all the functionality I used to pay for in 20 minutes. Is this bad news for “write once, don’t update later” SaaS?
Learn how we built Turbopack with incremental computation to scale development and builds to massive Next.js applications.
When AI writes almost all code, what happens to software engineering? There is grief involved for us developers, that's for sure.
Next.js 16.1 introduces Turbopack file system caching for development, a new bundle analyzer, and easier debugging in Node.js.
Deja vu: a large Cloudflare outage caused by an instantly rolled-out global config change – two weeks after a similar problem
Two additional vulnerabilities have been identified in React Server Components. Users should upgrade to patched versions immediately.
Security researchers have found and disclosed two additional vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches in last week’s critical vulnerability. High vulnerability Denial of Service (CVE-2025-55184), and medium vulnerability Source Code Exposure (CVE-2025-55183)
A critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-66478) has been identified in the React Server Components protocol. Users should upgrade to patched versions immediately.
There is an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in React Server Components. A fix has been published in versions 19.0.1, 19.1.2, and 19.2.1. We recommend upgrading immediately.
Last week we hosted React Conf 2025, in this post, we summarize the talks and announcements from the event...
Next.js 16 beta includes stable Turbopack, file system caching, React Compiler support, smarter routing, new caching APIs, and React 19.2 features.
We are releasing the compiler's first stable release today.
Today, we're announcing our plans to create the React Foundation a new technical governance structure
React 19.2 adds new features like Activity, React Performance Tracks, useEffectEvent, and more.
Next.js 15.5 includes Turbopack builds in beta, stable Node.js middleware, TypeScript improvements, `next lint` deprecation, and deprecation warnings for Next.js 16.
Every UI block in Tailwind Plus is now fully functional, accessible, and interactive, even if you don't use a framework like React or Vue.
Next.js 15.4 includes updates to performance, stability, and Turbopack compatibility.
I've been itching to get back into screencasting and teaching lately, and the natural first step was to build our own course platform. So we just released Compass, a Next.js starter kit for publishing your own online course.
In React Labs posts, we write about projects in active research and development. In this post, we're sharing two new experimental features that are ready to try today, and updates on other areas we're working on now.
Next.js 15.3 includes Turbopack for builds, new client instrumentation and navigation hooks, and more.
I wasn't sure it would ever happen but we did it — we released a version of Tailwind CSS that includes text shadow utilities. Tailwind CSS v4.1 is here and it's packed with improvements that will help you (or your LLM, you coward) build even better interactive experiences.
We just shipped a huge rebrand project, turning what was previously known as Tailwind UI into Tailwind Plus. Tailwind Plus is the all same high-quality resources you know from Tailwind UI, but with all-new possibilities and potential.
Next.js 15.2 includes updates for debugging errors, metadata, Turbopack, and more.
Today, we’re deprecating Create React App for new apps, and encouraging existing apps to migrate to a framework, or to migrate to a build tool like Vite, Parcel, or RSBuild. We’re also providing docs for when a framework isn’t a good fit for your project, you want to build your own framework, or you just want to learn how React works by building a React app from scratch.
We just released Tailwind CSS v4.0 — an all-new version of the framework optimized for performance and flexibility, with a reimagined configuration and customization experience, and taking full advantage of the latest advancements the web platform has to offer.
Learn more about the API design and benefits of 'use cache'
Next.js 15.1 introduces React 19 stable support, improved error debugging, new experimental authorization APIs, and more.
React 19 is now available on npm! In this post, we'll give an overview of the new features in React 19, and how you can adopt them.
After a long alpha period, we're excited to release the first public beta of Tailwind CSS v4.0.
