Just sent off a simple Figma prototype landing page... Really enjoying Figma now I'm getting back into it. I do hope it becomes part of Adobe CC though if/when the acquisition goes through. #figma
This week @adam & @jerod are joined by Emil Sjölander to talk about bringing Dev Mode to Figma 💅
We go way back to Emil’s startup, Visly, that was acquired by Figma, how we iterated to here from 20 years ago (think PSD > HTML days), what they did to build Dev Mode, what they’re doing around codegen, the popularity of design systems, and more 🙌
Perfect Freehand lets you draw smoth, good looking shapes and lines. 🤩 〰️ You can export them to SVG and there is even a #Figma Plugin and #python library!

We decided to refresh our logo based on the poll results from our community. We want to give it a new look that reflects our values and vision. That’s why We're hosting a Logo Contest, and we invite the talented members of our FOSS Lovers community to contribute.
Figma help needed! Sort of. I have some colleagues who will be using Figma for the first time soon. Do you have any Figma introductory courses or resources that you can recommend?
I specifically would like ones you know are good - from doing them or people recommending them. (I have of course used search engines myself already)
I get that developers need to eat, too (I am one), but how is it that some #Figma plugins cost more than the Figma subscription itself and are subscription-based themselves. 😳 There's a lot of great stuff that I'd love to use and support, but it's just prohibitively expensive, especially since the plugin subscriptions are per user per month as well. 😅
Arranger: a Figma plugin to arrange any number of objects in 10 different layout types, like radial (full circle or arc), along a custom vector path, pack an area with objects, and much more. Trust me, when you will need it, you will be happy this exists. #FigmaPlugin#Figma https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1283441509774815222/arranger
one things was #Figma or atleast #DesignSystem and #UIkit. It’s not much more work to drag and drop the real component instead of a wireframe.
I think there has been a shift in ways of working. Instead of doing a wireframe and aligning with stakeholders you go straight into design or even to code and adjust from there
I geek out about stuff like #zeppelins, antique #postcards (mostly of zeppelins), #scifi like #StarTrek, and retro-inspired aesthetics like #dieselpunk. I love learning how #games are made. I love coffee AND tea.
I just came across oklch() in a CSS color definition for the first time and thought, “[Expletive]. Yet another way to define colors‽”
Then I read the specification (and by read, I mean looked at the comparison images and skipped over the complex math) and was impressed. https://bottosson.github.io/posts/oklab/
Does #Figma have an option to not add prototype / presentation versions as "Recent Files"? Because it‘s really cluttering everything up and having to manually remove them every time I go into presentation mode is getting pretty annoying. 😅
