Wouldn't this be handy in @figma?

@creativedrewy @figma No, these bricks are not 3D objects, but hand-drawn vector shapes :)

@solo_cube @figma Heh, does this work with ldraw in any way?

5 years ago I built a Bricks Constructor in Figma. It always felt unfinished. Aligning and stacking bricks on the canvas was just too painful — so it sat there, incomplete. @figma Make finally changed that. Now it's interactive, and it's live: bit.ly/3NwECUP

@figma Whole day:

No detaches. Just Slots.

Initially, I didn't want to add any decoration to betterLCH, focusing purely on its function. But how can you stand using a beautiful shader when it's as easy as hitting ⌥R in @paper? And it maps straight to my color styles!

When you're done, export directly to Figma as variables. Change one base color → your entire design system updates in seconds. Try it yourself at betterlch.com

It started with a glance at Geist Pixel and ended up as a @figma template that helps to precisely align the font with patterns and pixel grid: figma.com/community/file…

@BrettFromDJ This was painful

The easiest way to make a button go viral. ✨

@romanshamin_en The concept of unequal Chroma itself is pretty clear and reasonable. But not knowing its maximum value for a given Hue and Lightness makes it a guessing game, where it’s easy to loose.

Saying that unstable Chroma is a problem with OKLCH doesn’t make sense. Blame physics and the human eye. OKLCH is just a math model that simply follows the rules they set.

@evilmartians @antiflasher Yes, exactly. Apcach from repo, and oklch.com — it became my home page. It’s so intuitive and convenient to use, couldn’t be designed better 🤌

@solo_cube @antiflasher We're excited to read this, which tools did you use? Anton's repo and #0.7,0.1,139,100" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">oklch.com/#0.7,0.1,139,1…?

OKLCH colors are super powerful, and it's a pity we don't have proper support for them in @figma (while they're well supported in @paper). Although OKLCH is not perfect. A thread.

And, of course, credit to @antiflasher and @evilmartians for their absolutely incredible open source tools.

A few months ago, I started building a color tool that will satisfy this and all my other needs in my daily work with multi-brand applications: • P3 gamut • OKLCH colors • Relative Chroma • APCA contrast • Figma and CSS export Sneak peek at betterlch.com
