Signs of taste in web UI. Use when building or reviewing web interfaces, dashboards, SaaS apps, or internal tools.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Web UI best practices
Principles for building web interfaces that feel fast, intentional, and respectful of the user's time. Every rule here is a smell test, violating one is fine if you have a reason, violating several means the UI needs work.
## Speed
Every interaction completes in under 100ms. If it can't, fake it.
- Optimistic UI updates, show the result before the server confirms
- Debounce inputs, but never debounce perceived response
- Prefetch likely next routes on hover or viewport entry
- Use `will-change` and `transform` for animations, never `top`/`left`
- Measure with `performance.now()`, not gut feel
```js
// Optimistic delete, remove from UI immediately, reconcile later
async function handleDelete(id) {
setItems(prev => prev.filter(i => i.id !== id));
try {
await api.delete(`/items/${id}`);
} catch {
setItems(prev => [...prev, originalItem]);
toast("Couldn't delete. Restored.");
}
}
```
### Skeleton loading states
Never show a spinner when you know the shape of what's coming. Render a skeleton that matches the layout, then swap in real content.
```css
.skeleton {

How to install
mdr add jamditis/claude-skills-journalism/web-ui-best-practices@sha256:d8a23839af3f8aaaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260818.3e0e3a8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
