@amylimabean @laurenloprete Thanks Amy for the tip. Will play around and try our Figma skills!

@lcdvirgo @laurenloprete So glad you found it helpful!! You can prompt the MCP to create a brand kit based on your Figma file; our foundational skills /figma-use, /figma-generate-design and /figma-generate-library will be great for this! Let me know how it works :)

Figma cooked with this release update. Long live the canvas.

@amylimabean @laurenloprete Great Figma MCP walkthrough, @amylimabean ! Love the clear setup tips. Quick question: would the Brand Kit be automatically created as the MCP scans the Figma file? youtube.com/watch?v=brTAdH…

@laurenloprete Thanks for tuning in, Queen ❤️❤️❤️

@victoria_framer @paper @Replit @figma @flowstep_ai Will do 🙇 Just signed up and I’m at the welcome page, ready to create. Onboarding is quick and snappy!

@victoria_framer @paper @Replit @figma Gonna give @flowstep_ai a try! Thanks @victoria_framer

Guys, we need to talk about this. NOW! I’ve tested a lot of design tools - @paper , @Replit , @figma Make, and a few others in the same space, and honestly, there’s usually still a lot of struggle. But this feels different. You can start designing without any MCP connection, use an agent to help build the UX, edit directly on the canvas, and yes, it basically has the “Make it Pretty” magic button @DannPetty has been talking about for a while. And devs can actually work with it too. You can see the code right there. But that’s not even the craziest part. COMPONENTS! Actual components. I’m genuinely in shock. These guys are so good. Feels like the perfect time for a @contra challenge.

@paper The other thing is I wish I could key in a value for the padding between frames, besides the one in the subpanel—guess I'm quite used to Figma 😅

Testing manual designing in @paper today and it looks promising with Auto Layout. Is it just me, or is anyone else facing the same thing: I wish I could proportionately scale SVGs in Paper! It's quite painful to see the decimal points haha

@paper For images, holding Shift + drag to scale works fine. For 1×1 icons, I'm using Heroicons by @steveschoger–I can input the value and it scales fine too. The only troublesome case is a rectangle logo when I'm trying to scale it down.

Ticketmaster checkout page is doing five jobs at once–confirmation, payment, upsell, legal, consent. So I pulled it into @paper, asked Claude to diagnose the buried CTA, and got 3 redesign variations. Shoutout to @stephenhaney–connected canvas idea is real👇

Design Twitter, I need your help. Do you know any really great independent or freelance brand designers available for small projects? Please tag them or drop a link to their work!

Hollywood as we know it is over because of AI Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Disney etc will never be the same Here's how I think it all goes down…

@izuddinhelmi You’ve got a big heart bro! Happy Eid to you and fam 🥳🎆

I started my company 16 years, 3 months, and 5 days ago. Today, it went public. But let's rewind for a second... 5,939 days ago, I was a barista at a small cafe called @2percentJazz2, in Victoria, Canada. I made $6.50 an hour. Two guys, Chris and Jeff, started coming into the cafe. They'd sit there all day drinking espresso and typing away on their laptops, using the wifi. After weeks of this, I asked them what they did for a living. Didn't they have jobs? They told me they were "web designers" and this — sitting on their laptops — was their job. As I dug in, they told me how it worked: They asked local businesses if they needed a website, then charged them a couple thousand bucks to make one. They could whip a website together in a few days, and each make $1,000. Simple. This blew my mind. And at that moment, I realized something: I wanted to be the guy drinking the espresso, not the one serving it. Chris and Jeff were clearly smart, but I knew some basic HTML and figured I could do the same. I decided to try it out. When I got off my shift, I took the bus over to a book store downtown and bought a book called 'Bulletproof Web Design' by Dan Cederholm (@simplebits) to hone my skills. Then, I googled "freelance web design jobs" and found a tech job board called Authentic Jobs made by this guy in Utah, @cameronmoll. There were hundreds of posts, mostly from startups in San Francisco, looking for freelance web designers. I decided to try to win one of these contracts, but I had a critical insight: Nobody wants to hire an 18-year-old barista to build their website. So, I decided I'd create a fake design agency. Using tricks from Dan Cederholm's book, I whipped together a slick looking site and called my "agency" MetaLab (after the tag in HTML). The website was very vague as to what exactly MetaLab did, who worked there, or where we were located. It also featured a cringe-inducing tagline "We Help People Make Cool Stuff." Like an email spammer, I started sending emails to every single web design job post I could find. I was met with crickets, until I got an email from a guy named Kavin Stewart (@kavinstewart). He worked at a startup called Offermatica in San Francisco and told me he needed an interface designed for a web app. I barely understood what a web app was, but I assured him I could do it. He proposed a $2,000 USD budget and my eyes went wide. This was more than I earned in a month, and the project was just a few days of work. I walked into the cafe the next day and quit my job. I told myself that if I could just make enough money to wake up whenever I wanted and comfortably make rent, I'd be good. The rest is history. But I slightly overshot. I still own MetaLab, but along the way me and my business partner @_Sparling_ started dozens of companies, then began buying wonderful businesses, including one (Dribbble) — amazingly — from Dan Cederholm, the designer whose book I bought when I first started. Today, Tiny went public, and as of this moment has a market capitalization of just under $800 million. I can't even begin to explain how mind boggling this is to me. This has not been a feat of entrepreneurial genius. My key skill has been choosing incredible people to work with, both internally and externally, and I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has worked at Tiny and our various companies over the years. And a special thanks to @simplebits, @cameronmoll, and @kavinstewart for helping with my first step😉 Watch for us on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker TINY (how cool is that ticker?). finance.yahoo.com/quote/TINY.V?p…

Ok, these are stunning! If Wes Anderson made the Harry Potter series. 🪄✨ (made by PanoramaChannel on IG using AI) 1. Harry Potter:

The @stripe sessions website goes hard. It demonstrates the lengths Stripe is willing to go to when it comes to web design. Here are the details that catch my eye. I'll get the small details out of the way first, before I spend far too long on colour, which is the star here.

Today marks 10 years since I started doing independent design work. Last year I made a decision: I’m not going back. I needed a new, sturdier home for my design practice, for the next decade and beyond. I’d like to introduce you to it now: please meet Twohy Design Works.

I love this advice from @brendandawes.
