Figma has rebuilt component instances using Materializer. Large design systems are now 50% faster. Separating layout and variable logic unlocks features like slots and rich text. This is a huge win for design ops scalability. figma.com/blog/how-we-re…

The Design Systems Report for 2026 by zeroheight is out! Loads of fantastic statistics for fellow designers to understand the current state of design and design systems. One stat that hit me was how under-represented accessibility and PM are. report.zeroheight.com

No mouse November, anyone? Every now and then my wireless mouse dies on me and I am forced to learn how bad the web is without the use of a mouse once again. I'm all for raising awareness for those who experience the web this way on the daily. nomouse.org

Designers tokenize color, spacing, and typography but what about motion? Still rare. Francesco Improta shares a tiered approach, including accessibility considerations, that seeks to solve this overlooked part of design systems. Really a good foundation. designtokens.substack.com/p/motion-token…

Zed is redefining accessible type design. Text and display variants, 435 languages, Braille support, and lab-tested legibility for low-vision readers. This is the standard all type systems should be held to. Inclusive by design, not as an afterthought. typotheque.com/blog/zed-a-san…

I've been thinking a lot about the new product designer workflow in the age of AI. Agentation seems like a sneak peek into that future. Identify a design change in live dev, comment on the exact element you need changed, have AI fix it in the background. agentation.com

OpenUI is an interesting approach to Generative UI. It focuses on providing a token-efficient, structured markup language for UI components and layouts. The demo is fun but I'm itching to throw some custom components at it. openui.com

Pencil.dev has been one of the most interesting AI-powered design tools I've come across. The latest parallel agent functionality seems particularly powerful. I'd love to see a deeper integration with Ollama/OpenCode, however. youtu.be/w4RY7PnfRU8

@gojomo Damn straight!

always bet on t̶e̶x̶t̶ markdown

text/markdown > html > 1-column PDF > 2-column PDF please don’t publish reference specs as 2-column PDFs!

I've been waiting for Figma Slots for years! No more creating placeholder components with complicated visibility Boolean properties for my design systems. This is so huge for design workflows. youtu.be/fpc0cUt1y1M

Brad Frost is always a great follow. His Real-Time UI post demos agent-to-UI live during a meeting, a workflow that could collapse idea-to-execution from weeks to days and kill misalignment before it starts. Check it out: bradfrost.com/blog/post/real…

I found this interesting. Google has implemented the ability to download Google Docs as Markdown files. With AI becoming a growing presence in our lives, and with Markdown as its primary language, it's nice to have tooling that makes the transition easier.

Say hello to Homie. Using n8n to create AI Agents has been so much fun. I'm currently working on a publishing assistant for my homelab newsletter project. I'll keep you guys updated as I progress. #n8n

What if your AI wasn't just for work? Just saw Jesse Genet on How I AI using Obsidian, OpenClaw, and a squad of Macs for homeschooling, finances, and total life management. It's making me rethink patterns in my own life such as home inventory management. youtube.com/watch?v=96Vl8s…

Homelabbing finally feels like a superpower in 2026. Stack: OpenClaw, Ollama, Open WebUI, n8n, Tailscale, OpenCode, Penpot, & Obsidian. Model of the moment: minimax-m2.5. What's in your homelab stack? #homelab

Figma just released user groups for easier sharing and permissions. As a freelance designer, this will make working with different clients so much easier. figma.com/release-notes/…

@JBDevsNashville Are you still experiencing the error? Sorry for the late response, I didn't see you pop up in my notifications.

@sunnythaper Hey Sunny. I’ve ran Clawdbot on Hostinger but after about 30 minutes or so I get a disconnection error (1006) no reason. Any ideas?

Taking the Moltbot (Clawdbot) hype train to my Hostinger VPS and seeing what all the fun is about. If you are wanting to take the trip with me, I suggest you follow this guide for best results: youtu.be/BhjK2Gr0Ryc

Got a Heltec v4 you need a case for? Check out my latest design on Maker World that puts the Heltec v4, 2 x 18650 batterys, and an N Type antenna into a nice portable package. #profileId-2567263" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">makerworld.com/en/models/2347… #meshtastic #lora #heltec #MeshCore

After two days of Moltbot (Clawdbot), I am starting to feel it's not for me. At least not yet. I'm struggling with having Moltbot achieve things on particular days/times, plan instead of execute, and most of all to stop pretending to be me all the time. Will keep trying for now.

@brendanodris Will do, Brendan, thank you!!

@sunnythaper Please share any feedback Sunny!

Figjam MCP is something I have been needing in my life for a very long time. From mind maps, to workflow process maps, to opportunity solution trees, I am always in Figjam nudging around nodes and connectors. figma.com/release-notes/…
