Just concluded our yearly Chakra UI contributors meetup. We had lots of intense collaboration to plan the subsequent major releases of Chakra UI and how we want to manage the project in 2023. We’ve many plans to integrate Chakra UI and Zag.js, build more components and grow the community.

Spoke at the State of CSS Frameworks about how we can better leverage the modern CSS features within our frameworks in order to help developers write more effective and maintainable CSS.

I got featured in the ReadME Project (Q&A) alongside a panel of outstanding open source maintainers. I shared some thoughts about how to balance the technical side of maintainership with the community side.

I joined the folks at PodRocket to talk about design, the future of Chakra UI, component libraries, and my work at Vercel.

Gave a demo of my recently launched open-source library, Zag.js, at the LearnWithJason show. - Introduction to State machines and Zag.js - We created a demo of the number-input component, styling it with vanilla CSS - Showed how to visualize the number-input logic

Excited to share my latest project, Zag.js UI components powered by State Machines. Zag is a collection of framework-agnostic, accessible widgets (like an accordion, menu, dialog, etc.) that can be used in React, Vue, & Solid.js. This project leans heavily on my recent experiments with XState and finite state machines. Key Goals of Zag: Write once, and use it everywhere Focus on accessibility Headless. Bring your styling solution Powered by state machines

At Next.js Conf, I demonstrated how to build an accessible slider component using Statecharts and Xstate. During the talk, I covered these topics: - What statecharts and state machines are - The anatomy of a slider component - Build the state machine for a slider component - Create prop connectors for the state machine - Styling the slider component with Chakra UI Next.js Conf Speaker Profile: https://nextjs.org/conf/speakers/segunadebayo

Organized the first in-person meetup for the Chakra UI core team to help the team work together, connect better and ship new open source projects. This meetup helped the team rekindle our passion for open source and made us determined to increase our impact in the community.
