Reshaped is now open source

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-30 03:32:49

About five years ago, I started Reshaped. I built it for myself, since I had a few projects in urgent need of a component library for both React and Figma. Having worked in the design systems space for over a decade, I had developed a clear sense of what a good design system should be — and what tends to go wrong in others. I noticed that no matter how trends evolve, around 80% of the web is still built on the same core design practices. So I set out to build a system that covers that 80%, whil

Why did dlclose not unload the library? (2023)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-14 13:45:06

Recently, at work, we were debugging an issue where dlclose was not unloading the library .

In the case we were debugging, this issue manifested in the following fashion: We had two libraries libA and libB and libA dynamically depends on libB. When you dlopen libA, it also
