I guess I have to add #Figma to the list of online resources that I can't use.
A technical issue prevents me from using the tool fully. In spite of a detailed description of the problem and a video demonstrating the issue, the official community have apparently quoted a line from the documentation to me and ignored the thread.
I submitted a message to the support team, but they won't respond unless I "publish" a file and share it with them. Even though the problem isn't from a specific file.
I can't share the file unless I publish it and I can't publish it because of it has automatically been identified as violating their community guidelines... It contains a bunch of rectangles, some Lorem Ipsum text, and some generic words found on nearly any home page.
A good example of where coding for resilience is helpful - it seems Figma's app for viewing prototypes doesn't work offline. Would be so helpful to download prototypes and have them work locally without a connection #figma
Great article on #figma and how they think and why they do #accessibility, https://equalentry.com/accessibility-figma/
It's not an easy product to make accessible, so I am super-happy they are putting efforts at all! Hopefully, this will educate the #design community at large along the way!
For few months now, I use an #iPad for personal stuff, instead of a #laptop.
Downloading files from the net is a bit a pain in the ass, but otherwise, I’m satisfied. I design with #figma via Figurative, and do #geek stuff on my #nas thanks the #LaTerminal app (cc @Migueldeicaza).
I’ll give @penpot a try because the browser engine is #safari, on my pro computer with #firefox it doesn’t work at all.
But on the Magic Keyboard, there is no ESC key, WHY ??? That’s incredible to me and missing. 🤔
while I'm primarily a poor media internet enthusiast, I like certain rich media websites, such as #PenPot and #Felt, which allow me to rapidly prototype ideas and plans with others live. I highly recommend checking out Felt, which allows you to start making interesting maps of your neighborhood and city that you can share with others (you wouldn't believe how useful this actually is, and how cool your friends will think you are because of it) with no background or even drawing skills (things just snap together). And it is just so response, smooth and fast, almost none of the shadowy jank lurking in the ambiance of literally every #js web app. It's smoother than #figma. And while it has obviously required excellent engineering to produce, I'd just note that every #elixir#liveview app I've tried has been similar. the "let it crash" philosophy works magic in the browser.
to be honest, we tried doing some brain storming in #figma and the amount of jank we were experiencing was causing lots of frustrating friction, so we've switched to #penpot which is much better (but still with its moments of weirdness too). seems like #adobe just sabotaged the whole project, i remember it being lightning fast.
Anyone else get this? Any time either Chrome has an update or my graphics card has a new driver, #Figma starts crashing a few days to a week BEFORE I get the update notification. It does this especially, but not always, in presentation mode.
And it's always the same error: my WebGL settings are incorrect. Except they aren't, and it's the browser or the driver.
But if I try to update on purpose... there's nothing to do. Not until I get the push notification to update. #UX#design
