Obsidian - Sharpen your thinking The free and flexible app for your private thoughts.

obsidian.md could be a good option. Just uses local markdown files, and has nice extensions. But could be too complicated for what you're asking for.

Ahmad on stage showing a slide titled โ€Building a layoutโ€ where the feature gap between Figma and modern CSS is visualized in two differently sized circles which contain keywords of different technological features. Text between both circle: โ€œThe gap is getting bigger year by year.โ€

So, so true. The gap between design tools and the possibilities of the CSS based web platform is
getting bigger year by year. @ishadeed.com at #cssday. (Reminds me of @matthiasott.comโ€˜s talk last year cssday.nl/2024/#matthias)

Awesome! I would put a label above the input rather than hiding in a tooltip - "Bluesky username (Optional)". You could also include secondary hint text below the label, for more detail or to show the example "e.g. @maxelkins.me". Avoiding placeholder text hiding when typing.

Thought Figma's grid stuff would at least be helpful for mockups, but it's just jank.

Back to encouraging designers to learn CSS and making code prototypes that achieve a better result with a few lines of code...
