@LEGO_Group I'm a big fan of 1, massive massive fan of 2 and appreciative of 3.

@rugbyintel Today is not a day for politics. Yet you never fail to.

Today is not the day for politicising a tragedy.

@puckdrop I would have thought those are big legs for penguins rather than small. 🐧

I present to you: my sister (who has no clue about hockey) trying to name the nhl teams

@GeeftVorm @figma figma.com/community/plug…

Feature request: export variables 🤞@figma

@GeeftVorm @figma There is now a plugin for this.

@miked1ck @figma Doesn't it already work if you Add shift to that shortcut?

proposal @figma ...... cmd+s to forcesave a version in the history

@adamburmister Don't have fibre but use Bigpipe for my VDSL and never had a problem with them.

@charliprangley Be great to hear. I've just done mine and as usual was way to self critical. Based on the feedback from 360s I was tracking along much better than I thought. Interested if other creative people have the same experience.

I feel like I've seen a lot of content giving advice about reviews/360 reviews/performance reviews etc but it's rare to see an example of one in action. Figured I could lean into transparency and share my real-world example if there's interest!

Speaking of trying to excel at my job, it's review time at ConvertKit. Would anyone be interested in a video breaking down what I wrote in my self-review? Basically my reflections on what I achieved over last 6 months & the areas I need to grow. Would that be interesting/useful?

@stefsull Pretty sure the recap is under the trailers and more tab.

Netflix sucks. Going into a new season of Witcher… the recap is playing, I tell Greg, “Run that back, I need to see it.” There’s no back. If you stop, you can’t restart it. When you try, you skip the rest of the recap & now only have the show. WhooHoo — watch it now. 🙄

@efedorenko @figma I do this all the time. Wish there was a keyboard shortcut to add variables

Am I the only one who accidentally adds modes instead of variables all the time in @figma? It’s also not included in the Undo…

@donniedamato @adircode What if the primary action is to delete

@adircode Categorize by purpose. Primary is the primary action you expect your user to take, secondary is second. Default is the most frequent button placed across the UI (and probably not primary or secondary).

Design System question: How should I arrange my buttons? A. Primary, Secondary, Tertiary... B. Filled, Contained, Text... C. Something different, comment!

@pwnies @skuwamoto @figma "Extended variable collections will be an Enterprise-only feature." 😕😭

Mirroring a tweet @skuwamoto just put out, now that all of the Config launches are done and we have a roadmap out for Variables, what other features would you like to see for Design Systems inside of @figma?

@patrickloonstra @zander_supafast Font variables coming later this year.

@zander_supafast This is awesome. Just started testing the variable thing. But I can not figure out how to change font size with it. Love to change that also when switching from mobiel, via desktop to tv.

Responsive device breakpoints with figma variables is mega handy 📱🖥️💻

@disco_lu @figma I was hoping to do it without modes, but doesn't seem possible unless I create a collection with repeated variables. Thanks for replying.

@incontrast @figma If you want the plus/minus to ONLY be used within that card, could handle it with another variable! But mode inheritance should mean that it shouldn't be required Modes: [product a] [product b] ... Variable: amountinbasket When you apply to the component, it'll "just work"

In @figma Can you scope number variables to component instances? Eg. Have a product card with a qty selector in it, can I scope the + and - buttons to that individual card rather than all instances of the card component? @disco_lu

@svorklab Same thing goes for design system documtation platforms. Ridiculously overpriced. Min $50US per person per month.

Watching designers adding variables knowing that the PO will never approve budget for Figma’s enterprise plan. What’s the plan then? 🍿

@StuRobson @svorklab To be fair they did the same with figjam

@disco_lu @figma @pwnies Variable fonts won't achieve fluid type size like CSS clamp, would they?

@incontrast @figma @pwnies Variable fonts and variables will be...interesting 🤣

3am and I'm pondering 🤔 what if @figma release min max and flex font values alongside type variables. @pwnies @disco_lu

@mfpears @housecor There is no comparison because you can't write md-bg-red-500 as an inline style on an element.

@housecor Agree strongly with 2 and 3, but the only difference between class="bg-red-500" and style="..." is syntax and implementation. In a raw HTML and CSS context, this is bad code. Abstractions as CSS classes bring reusability and semantic representation to static HTML.

Three misconceptions I’ve noticed among people who don’t “get” Tailwind: 1. People think it’s “inline styles”. (It’s not. It’s utility classes that smart people wrote for you.) 2. People think it’s repetitive/bloated. (It’s not. It’s designed for use with components like React/Vue/etc. Components encapsulate styles and support reuse. And the resulting CSS contains only the Tailwind classes you use.) 3. CSS “experts” think they can do it “better” from scratch. (They can’t. It’ll merely be a poorly documented alternative).
