GOATs

Nothing here is original. These are the people whose writing, demos, and open-source work taught me most of what this site tries to pass on — they indirectly contributed to every page.

• Rauno Freiberg — Design engineer at Vercel. His craft essays and Devouring Details are the closest thing this discipline has to a textbook.
• Emil Kowalski — Design engineer at Linear. Built Sonner and Vaul, and teaches motion at animations.dev.
• Jakub Krehel — Founder of Interfere. Writes obsessively about the smallest details — outlines, optics, and the cost of animation.
• Paco Coursey — Design engineer at Linear. Built cmdk and next-themes; writes about creative output and remixing.
• Shu Ding — Engineer at Vercel. Built SWR, Satori, and COBE; writes about performance, typography, and quality.
• Benji Taylor — Founder of Family. His Liveline and Family Values posts set the bar for delightful, living interfaces.
• Raphael Salaja — Design engineer. Built @web-kits/audio — the library behind every sound on this site — and Toldo.
