Since 24 June 2026 an animation lives in the same file as the design, reusable across files and exportable as code. That makes it reviewable, and it exposes the one mode nobody was ever asked to define.

Baymard scored seven mobile operators across 500+ UX parameters and none of them reaches even a "decent" experience. They fail on the same thing, and it is not how the sites look: none of them explains the words it sells with.

Figma ran the same 27 design-to-code tasks with and without its components mapped to real code. The gap says more about design systems than about AI.

AI-written pull requests merge at 32.7% against 84.5% for human ones. The gap is not where the productivity debate says it is.

How AI is finally closing the loop between code and design

From Siri to the Apple Intelligence costume: the future that never showed up.

Three questions decide it: how interactive the page is, what your LCP target is, and who maintains it. Everything else is preference.

Google says no special markup is needed. A May 2026 audit found 16% of cited sources are themselves AI-written. What follows from both.

We all know the loop: try, uninstall, back to Chrome. Atlas might break it. If chat-first browsing actually fits your workflow.
