⏱️ Almost any kind of application written in JavaScript works with dates or times in some capacity. Initially, this was limited to the built-in Date API, then Moment.js, and now the new Temporal standard has landed.

↬ Here are practical “recipes” for migrating Moment-based code to the new Temporal API: https://deploy-preview-10644--smashing-prod.netlify.app/2026/03/moving-from-moment-to-temporal-api/

Some forms stay UI. Others quietly become rule engines. 🎨⚙️

Why do these two approaches exist? And how do you choose between them? https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2026/03/building-dynamic-forms-react-next-js/

🧩 Many product teams still lean on usability improvements and isolated behavioral tweaks to address weak activation, drop-offs, and low retention – only to see results plateau or slip into shallow gamification.

🧩 In CSS, stacking contexts are incredibly useful, but they’re also widely misunderstood and cause layout headaches.

🚀 It’s 2026. The web is faster, more fluid, and more powerful than ever. Yet we’re still chasing “pixel perfect.”

↬ Amit Sheen questions this legacy concept that no longer fits how we design and build today, explaining why it’s failing us and redefining what “perfection” actually looks like: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2026/01/rethinking-pixel-perfect-web-design/
