i've finally finished upgrading this custom masonry grid component in @framer and it's packed full of features... ✅ Elastic scroll ✅ CMS compatible ✅ Fully responsive ✅ Lightbox gallery It's yours for free - just drop a brick '🧱' below ↓

Who works on @SlackHQ? Here's a free AI idea. I want a summary of my day. How many threads I engaged with, how many people I shared DMs with, how many posts I made, how many channels I reviewed. I need a report that I can share about why I got nothing else done during the day. :D

@disco_lu Obviously the advice is to use the components as their built, but that I can't stop them from doing what they feel they need to do to solve a problem.

Doing some design systems napkin research: 1️⃣ Within your system, what is an acceptable override to a component? 2️⃣ How do you prevent "unacceptable" overrides from happening, if you do it at all?

@jordan_ryskamp @rogie Shift+D will switch to dev mode and then back to editor mode.

@rogie 1. Shortcut to access dev mode. 2. Easier asset export. 3. Ability to download images applied as a background.

If you had 3 things you could fix/improve/add to the Figma design editor, what would your top ones be?

@rogie @milanseitler Slots, but without overhead of having to create a component outside of the instance structure, that would be great. Basically being able to assign a child frame (of the component) as the composition space.

@milanseitler Guessing this is basically "slots", but also slots for any content (not only instances of other components). Seem right? Is there any other considerations here?

@disco_lu @GregHuntoon I'm feeling really inspired by this.

@GregHuntoon Just for you. 10/10 color work

Here's another "what would you call it?" game 🎡 What would you call these individual, tappable regions? They: 1) Link out to separate screens 2) The entire region is tappable 3) Can have nested actions within them

@RobertJBye @figma Prototype use case is great. I had previously wished that the preview window could be docked to a side, similar to comment threads, but this is effectively the same idea. Although, docking the preview would allow for easier frame/flow hopping.

In case you missed it, split tabs in the @figma desktop app is now live in beta! See a few ways this is useful below, then try the beta and let us know your thoughts! #Download_the_beta_version" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">help.figma.com/hc/en-us/artic…

@disco_lu The correct answer is: how do you handle it in code? Looking at this, you've got several visual styles, but shared behavior. This is likely a single code component with props to handle sentiment and visual style. Therefore, option 2 is the way to go.

Okay my favourite question – should component types be split into separate variants, or bundled as one? Or, a third option? Possible a neutral style, where you apply overrides at the instance level

@HonzaTmn @figma Category pages with components on them. So Actions (button, icon button, etc), Inputs (checkbox, radio, text field), Feedback (alert, toast, action dialog), and more. The components themselves are on the canvas with a documentation frame next to them.

How do you organize your component files in @figma? Do you keep all components on one page or use separate pages for related groups like buttons, badges, and dialogs? Any other methods? Share all the tiny details if you can 🙏

we'd like to show you what sora can do, please reply with captions for videos you'd like to see and we'll start making some!

@pwnies Would you consider it a bug that a component's root frame does not respect the color scoping?

So excited for the launch of this. Color scopes are a huge boon to reducing noise for your designers, and code syntax will tremendously help with handoff. If you're using either of these, would love to hear how your experience has been!

It’s been proving difficult to detox myself from reddit. I didn’t realize how reliant I was on it until now.

@jahirfiquitiva You can't be messaged, it's disabled. But also, your replies are blocked to only people you follow on the Tweet about invites. Otherwise, I would've replied to your offer for a Bluesky invite. :P

Hey @figma, do any of you have a little buddy in your sidebar too?

@neversitdull Are we talking for interactive, decoration?

What is the best icon size? 16, 24, 32? Also do you prefer live strokes or everything flattened/outlined?

I can't be the only one who sees pending updates to components in their library and can't remember or forgot what they did. Library maintainers in @figma would likely benefit from additional actions

@efedorenko @figma Not fully automatic, but Style Organizer can scan a page and show instances of colors. You can merge manual assignments into matching tokens per color.

I’m looking for a @figma plugin that will automatically convert all color values to matching color styles. Bonus point if it will warn if some values are close but don’t exactly match an existing style. Please tell me I don’t need to build it!

@figma All of your communications for Widgets in Figma say “interactive widgets for your entire team”, yet my testing is showing that only Editors with Edit access to a file can interact with them. Is this deceptive marketing or unintended behavior?

@figma I’ve looked through the help documents but don’t see a ton of clarity on exactly who can interact with Widgets. Is this just Editors? If so, that artificially limits the usefulness of something like polls which would benefit from all participants, incl Viewers, from interacting.

2/ We’ve also made it easier to discover and use plugins and widgets in Figma. ✨ We’ve added a new button to Figma’s toolbar so you can search, browse, and run plugins, widgets, and components - without leaving your file. Learn more here → bit.ly/3HVgGU1

1/ Widgets for Figma are here 🙌 Widgets are interactive objects on the canvas that you and your teammates can use together. We’ve partnered with @Asana, @Jira, and developers in our community to bring widgets to Figma. Explore them here → bit.ly/3OwTQVk

@pedropeguerojr Jealous. 😭 Please do a micro review here on Twitter once you have it for a few days.
