I wondered how they ensure that the output is accessible, because in the description I only found "#Accessibility features" under "Ready for production", nothing else.
So I wrote them an email asking to elaborate how they tackled #a11y for their product. Eagerly anticipating their answer!
Personally I don't understand why they're not adding the link to the description. If it is in there, it should be way more prominent, I can't find it. 🤷♂️
Je trouve ça fou que #figma ne prenne pas en compte les unités relatives.
Genre j'ai un conteneur en auto-layout et je veux que ses enfants fasse 50% chacun.
Bah c'est pas possible apparemment.
@GoOz@nhoizey Quand on voit qu'on peut mettre les bordures à l'intérieur, à l'extérieur, ou au centre… Oué, je me demande parfois si c'est fait par des gens qui ne connaissent pas très bien les capacités du CSS.
Tried to open two Figma projects using Firefox. Found it strange that it was taking too long to load. Decided to open Brave and both projects opened instantly.
Am I the only one experiencing this? #Figma#Firefox
just got my #Figma creator micro, i’m curious to see what people have mapped their keys to. i’m having trouble getting into the swing of things since my hands are already on the keyboard and it’s muscle memory to just hit a single keystroke, so any advanced macros?
I just tried a few AI plugins for #figma and they were all bad. This domain might be a great test for #LLMs . I predict these failings are unlikely to be fixed any time soon:
Layout was poor
They can't create components
Laughably complex object hierarchies (everything was enclosed in a frame)
Of course things will improve, but I expect fixing these deep structural problems are a function of many new constraints, likely beyond what today's LLMs are actually capable of. @simon ?
@scottjenson This problem reminds me of AI-generated printed circuit board layouts. A bunch of companies have been trying to get that one right for years now, but the 2D nature and the topological constraints of the interconnections make it really hard to do with AI.
@scottjenson were these plugins producing visual component output? I'd be surprised to see that work well, current LLMs deal with text and have very weak "spatial reasoning" - if you could call it that
Any recommendations of software for Android tablets to mock up web UIs? I have an Android device with a stylus, so I would like to use that instead of the mouse of my PC.
Large animations can easily be highly distractive for folks with #ADHD. Being able to pause them individually doesn't make things much better, especially if reloading the page starts them all over again.
It's really disappointing to see a design-focused company like #Figma use that type of purely gratuitous graphics on their #Config conference website, and do so without offering a way to disable them all at once across the site.
That’s a sad lack of consideration for true #A11Y. 🙁🤨🤬
@jochenwolters I just checked https://config.figma.com/ using MacOS with the "Reduce motion" setting, and they have done it correctly -- the animations are gone. (At least by default, though they still happen if you hover, so they've got it half right lol)
I'm happy to say that ever since I started using Flatpak's desktop #Penpot package, its become one of my favorite programs and I use it every day day now. And it just got a slick new upgrade. So now I finally have a #clojure application in my daily repertoire.
Way better than #Figma, which has become total garbage ever since #Adobe bought it.
@rml I don't know anything about Penpot's process, so long as the team behind it is not wrapping their binary in a Flatpak and calling it a day.
I do think that developers should at least acquaint themselves with the target audience's ecosystem and try, even as an exercise, to package the app by hand.
I think, at that point, they'll come to appreciate the non-agnosticism of Flatpak which already alleviates so much of the pain points of packaging something for Linux.
@grtcdr I already said its a web app, its not a binary meant to run natively, but can be deployed to.
as someone who has packaged tons of software, expecting independent software producers to package their software for every use is silly. a "target ecosystem" -- what is that?? If you're writing free software, your initial users in particular are going to be spread across distros and systems. Hence why distros and package managers are typically responsible for packaging. What we need is better funding for package managers and distros.
Penpot is designed for commercial deployment, they've put plenty of work into designing a webapp that can leverage several servers across the globe to facilitate low latency "multiplayer" design workflows across several studios simultaneously.
If I wrote a guix package for penpot, it would take me several days, assuming no surprises. I would rather just use their software tbh.
