I can’t stop thinking about how maybe semantic tokens should be a single mode A codified name to consolidate a cascade of (aliased) decisions - Light/dark are system changes - Brand is a change at the primitive level

Published a new plugin 🤖 "Import CSS shadows, create Figma styles" allows you to do just that. You can create variables too Recently I was building a UI kit from an existing website and rebuilding shadows from CSS was really slow, so built this! www.figma.com/community/pl...

New plugin published: batch rename variables It allows you to rename by: • Find & replace • Add prefix • Add suffix • Change case You can also revert any name changes. Should hopefully save a tonne of time! www.figma.com/community/pl...

I've updated the CSS variables Figma plugin! Noooow, you can export AND import CSS variables. Copy, paste, or upload a CSS file, and it will generate your variables including aliasing ◇ Hopefully makes variable migration a lot easier www.figma.com/community/pl...

Weirdly, I was thinking about "design systems limit my creativity" over the weekend and @donnie.damato.design drops this: blog.damato.design/posts/done-w... Innovation requires deviation, and locking down experimentation is where alignment fails. Maybe we don't need component arbiters anymore?

Sat down with the Figma team to talk about craft – what is it, how do we define it, and how can you get better at it? This is part of a mini series called Blend Mode, with two other videos on the design process and users coming out in the next few weeks www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXQZ...

Published a plugin! It allows you to copy CSS variables from Figma in either design or dev mode 🧑‍💻 www.figma.com/community/pl...

Aspect ratio is now live* on Figma 🙈 *rolling out today

What does the word "wireframe" mean to you? What level of fidelity is it?
