@Una @adebola_io Are mixins really coming?

@adebola_io Just wait until we get mixins again too 😍 You won't even necessarily have to write them, they can be a part of a design system you consume

🥳 CSS functions have arrived!!! 🥳 And they are *AWESOME* Now, you can do things like this: @​function --alpha(--color, --opacity) { result: rgb(from var(--color) r g b / var(--opacity)); } div { background: --alpha(red, 80%); } (*arrived = in the latest stable Chrome)

@neversitdull Studio for your desk 15" air for on the go

Went with a studio, and it's incredible, but ultimately I'm missing the portability of a laptop. Now the question is should I go for an M4 Max MacBook Pro, or wait for an M5?

@negativespaceca @nikolasklein @skuwamoto @zoink @figma @nlevin @negativespaceca Blink once if Figma will add the equivalent of "text-wrap: balance" and "text-wrap: pretty"

@dbox @nikolasklein @skuwamoto @zoink @figma @nlevin Love to hear that, hope to see you there!!!

@negativespaceca @nikolasklein @skuwamoto @zoink @figma @neverisitdull @nlevin Blink once if i'll be able to assign variables to font sizes soon. This would be SO transformative.

My buddy @jeffreyworthen wants to get all the Jeffs of the world to band together to buy Jeff.com. Do I know anyone who can help him make this happen? //cc @jescalan @JeffBezos @realJGoldblum

Main thing I need in @figma now is the equivalent of "text-wrap: pretty" and "text-wrap: balance".

@dbox It, my friend, was not.

What are you most excited to play with that was announced yesterday @ #Config2025 ?

@disco_lu I hope they unveil the ability to move the toolbar back to the top

Soon

AVoid wavy kerning! Typographers often fix TA, WA, To, and VA pairs while refining ‘tight’ and ‘loose’ spaces. “It’s tricky!” Xavier joked, adjusting 7.9° of alignment.

The efficient officer shuffled swiftly through the artificial lights, affixing a final note to the affable florist’s door. He studied an old encyclopædia and an œuvre on mediæval craftsmanship while enjoying a hors d’œuvre on the café’s terrace in the straße.

Most designers know the "quick brown fox" text for testing fonts. I needed something that would allow me to see all lowercase and uppercase letters, as well as numbers, symbols, punctuation, common ligatures and tricky kerning pairs. This is the sample text I use:

@nealagarwal this is brilliant tbh

hmm

@LeaVerou Can I ask which features this affects most?

Help me settle a debate! What’s the minimum version of Safari (desktop + iOS) that you need to support right now? Note the options are ranges. E.g. if you need to support Safari 16.6, you'd vote for the first option.

@dotdude Thank you for your thoughtful writeup on ui13. I understand it's important to get all users to move to the new UI to get everything under one codebase. Question: what's one reason for @figma not allowing user to move the toolbar from bottom?

Hey @figma, 99% of time when I "frame selection" I want this checkbox ticked, but it isn't by default. I assume i'm not alone?
