Doing a bunch of overdue maintenance work on the shadcn/ui kit. Getting it in shape for a new project that’s coming up.
New blog post: Why I'm bullish on $FIG johanronsse.be/2026/01/16/w...
A lot of what's in this release will probably only make sense when working on bigger projects but FWIW I am very happy with what we have going and can't wait to improve it further
If you watch video 2 about design to development workflow it will make sense - youtube.com/watch?v=VS3e... - by setting up modes like this, and having a design to dev export via a plugin, you can basically do extensive multi brand theming without needing to pay for Figma Enterprise
In the blog post, you can find 2 videos detailing the new theming. First one is about multi theming where we depend on multiple modes (this has a very specific reason) www.youtube.com/watch?v=orcE...
We released 1.4.0 of our @shadcn.com kit for @figma.com .
This release includes a design to development plugin and better multi-theme support. Free and open source. More details at shadcn.obra.studio/blog/1-4-0-r...

Happy new year everyone! For things regarding Obra Studio, I will be focusing a lot more on communicating via our own newsletter in 2026 instead of depending on algorithmically driven social media channels - if you are interested, you can sign up here: buttondown.com/obra
I finally got around to publishing my year in review 2025, which you can read on my blog: johanronsse.be/2026/01/06/y...
“Why designers can no longer trust the design process” (it could never be trusted anyway) - trust in yourself more. Great talk by @jenny_wen youtu.be/4u94juYwLLM?...
New blog post (in Dutch) - Nog eens in België johanronsse.be/2025/12/19/n...
Yesterday I saw Frankenstein by Guillermo del Toro on Netflix - what a great movie. ★★★★
(in Dutch) I wrote a blog post about 1 year of Obra on my personal blog johanronsse.be/2025/11/29/z...
The MS Surface laptop is no good. If you reviewed it you’d know it’s a slow piece of junk. This is just an article to make some commission money.
At this point the kit has such a good momentum I’ve decided to contract some work out on it to a skilled designer. This will lead to a higher overall quality and more examples. I would then like to move on to better docs and a video course.
We’re doing great work for a new German client, using our shadcn/ui system. The work inspires improving the kit, too, which will be useful for any other project using it.

I can’t believe I am learning PHP again
You can say what you want about Wordpress (and I will likely agree) but Gutenberg is a better editor than the CKEditor in Craft CMS. Hated it at first and grown to love it.
