To celebrate Primer's 10th birthday, here's a blog post blog post from @colebemis about a color tool we built to work on dark mode and other themes, which we've open-sourced so you can check it out for yourselves 🤩 github.blog/2022-06-14-accel…

10 years ago today a ruby gem named Primer was created, which later became a CSS framework, and continued to expand into Primer design system including Rails and React components. Design Systems are never done right? Happy Birthday Primer!🥳

Thanks so much for sharing this!

"If it's not documented, you're not going on vacation!" - check out @auareyou's #config2021 talk on being replaceable ✨

Primer started as a gem file of useful CSS & assets, later became a CSS framework, a React component library, and over the last year or so, components for Rails. Full circle, you now install Primer as a gem again! Interested in working on this? Apply here boards.greenhouse.io/github/…

We generally default to open-sourcing and publicly sharing Primer libraries and tools, so most likely we can make this public too when it's a bit more fleshed out.

This week dark & dimmed mode were made generally available 🚀 github.blog/changelog/2021-0… We're working on more themes, such as high contrast and color blind friendly themes. Here's a sneak peak of a tool the team is building to make developing and testing new color themes easier 👀

You won't have to go it alone, we're building a team of experts specializing in accessibility, and you'll work alongside designers and engineers working on UI engineering and design systems. More roles here: github.com/about/careers

Thanks! h/t @ampinsk for leading the work on these guidelines!

We're so happy to be able to give you a dark theme finally! We'll share more on the how soon, and will be shipping this to all parts of Primer (CSS, React, ViewComponents, design guidelines) in the near future!

In case you missed it, our awesome systems designer @simurai shipped a beautiful GitHub theme for @code, in light and dark modes 🤩 which you'll be able to use in the browser with Codespaces on GitHub in future ✨github.com/features/codespac…

This got buried under all the other recent GitHub news 😉, but @BinaryMuse & @emplums shipped Primer Components v19! Includes improvements to Box & Flex components, new "sx" prop & more! Thanks to contributors @dmarcey @shaunkirkwong @albingroen Andrew Hill, & Tiaan du Plessis 💓

Props to @colebemis for leading this work, and continued improvements from the rest of the team 🙌

Checkout @emplums from our team talking at @dotcss about CSS and the developer experience 🙌

Of course we have a presentation system too 😉 primer.style/presentations/

Props to @jonrohan for this work! And thanks to @emilybrick & @simurai for their help with design & component updates! While we focus improving github.com on mobile web, we're continually updating @githubprimer to make it easier for all teams to build responsive 💫

We're very happy to welcome @vdepizzol to the @githubdesign systems team! 🎉 He brings a ton of experience to the team and we couldn't be more excited! Read more about Vinicius & more importantly which gif best represents his "essence" 😉 on our team page primer.style/about/#team
