Can You Build Your Own Smart Home System From Scratch?

Building a smart home system from scratch? Sounds like a perfect way to reinvent the wheel. But here we are, with someone who isn't satisfied with off-the-shelf smart home solutions. Instead, they decide to create their own home automation setup—one that will likely never scale beyond their living room. The system features a custom-built interface, where lights are dimmed with a simple voice command, but sometimes not without a few glitches. It includes an array of smart devices, some of which work as intended while others remain perpetually "disconnected." It's a hobby project with no real-world application, but a fantastic opportunity to dive into home automation protocols, APIs, and cloud services. You'll spend hours figuring out why your thermostat doesn’t sync properly with your phone, and yet the thrill of seeing a set of curtains open with a tap or voice command makes it all worth it. At the end of the day, it’s less about functionality and more about the joy of building something that only you can control—literally and figuratively.

Embrace modularity, not complexity

Dive into a comprehensive UI toolkit and various design patterns for building scalable apps in the Design System library. Inspired by the Component-Driven Development methodology, this 10-component collection features a login page layout, a dynamic user profile dashboard, and what a developer on GitHub calls a 'button state experiment'. Each component comes with six (yes, six) customizable themes, including the ultra-popular dark mode.

CSS Grid Features

CSS Grid just got even better with eight new layout properties that you can use to create even more complex designs with ease. Can you use these on your site and still maintain performance? Probably, if you're careful with your structure and media queries. But you won't believe how much easier it is to manage responsive layouts now—especially with the new 'gap' feature for spacing!

For those rare moments when you're actually seeking a practical layout, well, you probably shouldn't be looking here. But, there are some real-world gems, such as the blog grid layout, pricing tables, and responsive contact forms.
