React Aria exposing state through the className is super handy. Here we're using the placement returned to define a Tailwind CSS variable which we can then use in Motion to define its animation direction. View sandbox example [here](https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/zwfndk).
```tsx {6-11,13}
{open ? (
cx({
"[--y:4px]": placement === "top",
"[--y:-4px]": placement === "bottom",
})
}
offset={6}
initial={{ opacity: 0, y: "var(--y)" }}
animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
>
Content
) : null}
```

This was a fun layout challenge for some dashboard UI we've been working on at Clerk. The structure of the layout contains your typical sidebar and content elements that live side by side.
Simplified markup example of what we are working with:
```html
```
The data element is a large table which i've hard coded to cause an overflow that needs to be able to scroll vertically and horizontally but we wanted to make sure that its scroll bars were always within the viewport.
To accomplish this we can make use of `contain: size;` to ensure the content overflows within its container and not cause the page to need to scroll.
```css {29}
body {
min-height: 100%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
flex: 1;
}
.header {
width: 100%;
height: 56px;
}
.nav {
width: 100%;
height: 56px;
position: sticky;
}
.layout {
flex: 1;
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 360px 1fr;
}
.sidebar {...}
.content {
overflow: auto;
contain: size;
}
/* This is simply to cause an overflow to demonstrate the table size */
.data {
width: 200vw;
height: 200vh;
}
```

Stop vertically aligning your checkboxes with `center`. Instead use `baseline` to keep it aligned with the first line of the label text.
```scss
label {
display: flex;
align-items: center; // [!code --]
align-items: baseline; // [!code ++]
}
```

Quick little improvement for elements that render dark even in light mode and have overflow, force the color-scheme to dark to blend the native form controls a bit better.
```css
pre {
color-scheme: dark;
}

Not uncommon to see folks add form submit handlers on the submit buttons click event vs on the forms submit handler. The problem is this prevents users from being able to fill out the form and submit it solely from the keyboard.
```jsx
```
Instead, apply the `handleSubmit` function to the form `onSubmit` handler. This ensures the form can be submitted when the user hits the return key.
```jsx
```
If for whatever reason your button needs to live outside of the form element, likely in a dialog situation, you can ensure the same functionality by passing the forms id to the button via the `form` attribute as shown below.
```jsx
```

Theme your Clerk components directly from your CSS files where your design tokens live – no more CSS-in-JS required.
```css
:root {
--clerk-color-primary: #6d47ff;
}
```
We learned from our own experience: the variables appearance option had limited adoption because it was hard to integrate with existing design systems. Even we had to use workarounds with elements prop + Tailwind classes in our dashboard.
Now you can theme components where your tokens are already defined. Plus we've improved variable naming and added new ones like `colorRing`, `colorMuted`, and `colorShadow` for more flexible theming.

Your component library ships bundled CSS via CSS-in-JS. You want folks to opt in to being able to toggle between light/dark mode but you don't know how they are handling toggling between light/dark.
Use CSS var toggle hack?
```css
/* Component library styles */
:root {
--dark-mode: ;
}
button {
padding: 1rem;
background-color: var(--dark-mode, white) black;
color: var(--dark-mode, black) white;
}
/* User styles turn on dark mode */
.dark {
--dark-mode: initial;
}
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
:root {
--dark-mode: initial;
}
}
```
This gives the user the ability to enable dark mode based on how they have their app configured. @media query, class, data-attr, etc.
They can even be very targeted on which components this is enabled for.

published: 2025-08-14T15:49:05-0400
demo: /demos/list-item-icon-baseline
tags:
- demo
- css
---
My current favorite approach to building bullet proof icon alignment within list items. Ensures icons are always vertically aligned to the first line of text, and ensures the icons do not shrink when text wraps to two lines.
```tsx {3-5}
List item 2 that is longer than the others and wraps to two lines
```
With this approach, you can apply a font size to the list item, and the icon will scale accordingly.

Ensure the trailing icon never orphans itself on to a new line. Paired with the icon alignment technique I [shared last week](/notes/2025-08-14-1) to vertically center it.
```tsx {3-5}

I've been slowly working on my own shadcn/ui registry while learning more about the whole component distrubution setup at work. So far I have the following components:
- [``](https://ui.alexcarpenter.me/#info-list)\
A list component with support for items, headers, and icons slots.
- [``](https://ui.alexcarpenter.me/#inline-text)\
An inline text component with an icon slot that wraps perfectly with the text.
- [``](https://ui.alexcarpenter.me/#pricing-table)\
A pricing table component with support for monthly/yearly pricing.

This is one of those that feels like it should be easier than it ends up being, but here is where I landed at to ensure a modal image preserves its 3/2 aspect ratio no mater the viewport width/height.
```css
.modal {
aspect-ratio: 3 / 2;
height: min(calc(100vh - 2rem), calc((100vw - 2rem) * 2 / 3));
margin: auto;
position: relative;
}
```

TIL you can slow down animations in Chrome DevTools.
Press cmd+shift+p (or ctrl+shift+p on Windows/Linux), then search for "animations". An Animations panel will appear at the bottom of DevTools where you can adjust the playback speed to 100%, 25%, or 10%. All animations on the page will now run at the selected speed.

title: Smooth Dot Indicators with Embla Carousel and CSS color-mix()
description: How I implemented smooth carousel pagination indicators that respond to scroll progress
published: 2026-03-06T08:43:22-0500
---
The interview gallery on [ibrewmyown.coffee](https://ibrewmyown.coffee/interviews/fatih-arslan) uses image carousels with pagination dots. Standard pagination dots using Embla Carousel toggle between active and inactive, but I wanted them to respond to scroll progress: as you drag, the current indicator fades out while the next one fades in.
## Implementation
[Embla Carousel](https://www.embla-carousel.com/) exposes scroll progress, making this possible:
```typescript
const onScroll = (): void => {
const snapList = emblaApi.scrollSnapList();
const progress = emblaApi.scrollProgress();
if (snapList.length < 2) return;
let lower = snapList.length - 2;
for (let i = 0; i < snapList.length - 1; i++) {
if (progress >= snapList[i] && progress <= snapList[i + 1]) {
lower = i;
break;
}
}
const upper = lower + 1;
const range = snapList[upper] - snapList[lower];
const t = range === 0 ? 0 : (progress - snapList[lower]) / range;
dotNodes.forEach((_, i) => {
if (i === lower) setDotProgress(i, 1 - t);
else if (i === upper) setDotProgress(i, t);
else setDotProgress(i, 0);
});
};
```
As `t` interpolates from 0 to 1, a CSS custom property `--dot-progress` is set for each dot. This single value drives two animations: width expansion and color interpolation.
## Width and Color
The dot width expands as you approach it:
```css
width: calc(var(--spacing) * 2 + var(--spacing) * 3 * var(--dot-progress, 0));
```
And the color blends between two states using `color-mix()`:
```css
background-color: color-mix(
in srgb,
var(--color-neutral-600) calc(var(--dot-progress, 0) * 100%),
var(--color-neutral-300)
);
```
This approach preserves contrast, keeping the active dot darkest and the inactive lightest. The browser handles both interpolations without additional JS overhead.
Hat tip to [Derek Briggs](https://x.com/PixelJanitor/status/2029700875006922763) for the color fade idea: "What if the current active indicator faded out the primary color during the drag and the next active faded in so that the most active item had the most contrast always?"

Alex and I worked together on the design team at NationBuilder. Alex is a natural problem solver, and a talented visual designer. That combination makes him an excellent front-end engineer. We worked together on a new feature with a complex UI and he was able to interpret the designs with a care and detail that is rare, while also making thoughtful UX suggestions. Not to mention Alex is just a great person, easy to talk to and lovely to work with.

Steward of the web building composable
interfaces for humans and agents.
Currently on the SDK team at Clerk, I work on UI components and theming
infrastructure-building systems for customization, improving component
APIs, and creating developer tooling that makes authentication
interfaces more flexible and accessible.
I do my best work on small, highly collaborative teams that ship often
and embrace the convergence of human craftsmanship with AI tooling. I
care deeply about design and believe the best interfaces emerge when
designers, engineers, and intelligent systems work together.
