@ridd_design @Danielgbright @disco_lu At the end of the day, design systems are limited by their output. I think they will start to look more and more a like, within DS meant for HTML, Video, etc.

@Danielgbright @disco_lu at this point kinda feels like very few things will look and feel the same as they were for the past ten years or so 😅

I asked @disco_lu how we should think about creating design systems in an AI world and I love his reframing here 👇

@DannPetty Need this for so long.

This is getting wild. You can now generate 3d assets (and more) with Spline’s new product Omma.

@TukiFromKL I think they were losing $15 million per day on Sora.

🚨 OpenAI spent $1 billion on Sora.. got Disney as a partner.. crossed a million downloads.. and now they're killing it.. they're folding it back into ChatGPT.. because Sam Altman doesn't want two apps.. he wants one everything app.. Sora didn't fail.. it worked too well as a feature and not well enough as a product.. in AI your product doesn't need to fail to die.. it just needs to be worth more as a button inside something bigger.

@jordanphughes @deebovv @UntitledUI Amazing update! Especially love the color optimization and the MCP support! It's also liek you were reading my mind. I had created a custom Filter UI which I really like and will stick with, be we were thinking alike with the panel and [Add Filter] UI.

Untitled UI v8.0 is in your inbox! ❖ Huge improvements + new components ❖ Tailwind CSS v4.2 color palette ❖ MCP server + copy directly to Claude/v0 ❖ RTL support + heaps more… 👀 Love you all 💌

@nk4jess @tim_cook C. Never used Windows

@tim_cook Curious where people land on this. Are these new buyers switching because Windows is actively getting worse, or is Apple’s marketing just unbeatable? A. Windows failing B. Apple marketing

Mac just had its best launch week ever for first-time Mac customers. We love seeing the enthusiasm!

Took the State of Prototyping Survey from @toolbenders — quick one on how designers are actually building right now. Worth a few minutes if you want the results when they drop. survey.uxtools.co

@DannPetty Even though I can skip figma, I still get in there & wireframe for ultra-fast solo projects. For enterprise work, designing great patterns for AI to consume (#Claude and @Figma Make) is a massive time saver.

Stop telling new designers to skip Figma. It’s still the industry standard. That advice will cost someone a job.

@mizko kicking the tires again lately, but I have some OG audiences that are long gone.

Who still uses X?

@disco_lu would love your feedback on Color Swatch Pro from the Figma Community. Details are in the preview and community page. figma.com/community/file…

@eyal_zuri @ridd_design @disco_lu @figma 100%. This is exactly what happened with Color Swatch Pro - what used to take hours is now automated with CSP. figma.com/community/file…

@ridd_design @disco_lu @figma My vision is that design systems will become more vital than ever, but designers won’t be the ones building them. Designers will provide the creative intent to vibe-coding tools, while AI handles building and updating the system in the background.

the world of design systems has been flipped upside down w/ AI so I asked @disco_lu to share the trends he's noticing as a designer advocate at @figma and what it all means for teams today👇 youtube.com/watch?v=Pn2G7J…

@ridd_design @disco_lu @figma Claude enabled me to automate design system color docs via Color Swatch Pro. What used to take hours now takes minutes. Prompts + tutorial are in the @figma Community file. figma.com/community/file…

@socoloffalex Cuts both ways, right? Design or code. Especially code. At this point, AI does so many things so well, especially when trained, that I think everyone who is doing what you say is doing it out of their own insecurity. AI will just be another tool we all use to do all the things.

Can someone please explain me why everyone is so obsessed with ripping designers, like AI can do a lot of other things (poorly but can) Leave us a lone and go find some better things to do, touch some grass or go fuck yourself for example.

Color Swatch Pro turns simple prompts into a complete @Figma color palette docs using #Claude and Figma Console MCP Server. colorswatchpro.com

@intro They light up when discussing aspects of the role. Have a sense of confidence. There is energy. You get a sense that they would fit right in. Sometimes, they've done a lot on their own - take courses, built things for fun, etc.

How can you tell when they really want to? - Sydney

What’s a green flag you look for in early hires?

This works well: .price-sub { text-wrap: balance; width: fit-content; }

@markgurman Thinking about replacing a 2012 MacBook Pro that we use around the house, which is still doing its thing just fine.

The MacBook Neo is kind of like the iPhone mini. The same folks praising it all over social media are the ones who would never trade in their Pro for it. It’s clearly the best $600 laptop on the market - but few are going to switch away from the high-end. It’s about new buyers.

OK, I've made a decision. After assessing a sample set of tints and ahades & comparing APCA to WCAG, if the APCA value is 60+ I will use the color for body text especially if WCAG is AAA. What do you think? #a11y #figma #designsystems

Anybody switching to or incorporating APCA into your #figma design system?

From a bit over 2 years ago @wesbos - this is where it all started.

@wesbos @paper

@chsweb @paper You are selling an color accessibility tool and your own site fails it. Did you not use your own tool?

Tried out @paper - It's like Figma. It has an MCP so you can connect it to an Agent and it can both push and pull design details and data in/out of it. Makes a ton of sense when your design app can pull real data from your database, or act on a ticket. It seems like it's built with HTML/CSS, so the heavy use of flex/grid to align stuff makes it easier to implement a design for the web. For some reason I thought it had some secret sauce that made your designs good though. You still need talent for that
