Figma

“Why use a plugin for this when figma has this built in with the rename layers feature?”

“Section Layout is awesome for keeping things neat, because for whatever reason, Figma doesn't support section layouting out of the box.”

“what is the single figma plugin you could not survive without in your daily workflow?”

“I’ve had some issues with prototypes too, mainly that sometimes none of the interactions carry over to new files even though all files are using the same component library. It was making me so stressed, nothing would work.”

“Je ne peux pas t’aider mais le prototypage de figma est une catastrophe.. bug, manque de fonctionnalités, etc… il faut qu’ils se bouge un peu”

“The "Specs" should not be "Open up the Figma file and manually export my designs."”

“Because Figma is probably going to be your forever-place from here on, I would probably do it correctly and rebuild everything starting from your smallest level of tokens, components and symbols.”

“i'm struggling a bit with Figma when i want to implement the designs, i know few things but in general i'm still behind, is there any video explaining the implementation of Figma design in Compose, like cover everything: design system, typograpgy, colors, sizes, paddings, shadows, and also custom components with their own properties.”

“I have two open tickets, one from a week ago and one from yesterday, but no luck getting through to support. Could I get some help with this?”

“Figma files live somewhere in between concept art and UI design. Too detailed to be concept art, too vague to capture the nuances of a UI design.”

“If you feel comfortable you can build your own storybook documentation pages, create your own internal documentation site/app leveraging claude by calling storybook/figma or you can go good old zeroheight route.”

“What are some alternative systems / tools to create system design docs other than Figma?”

“I designed this cafe landing page in Figma and then built it in React.”

“You’ll always have to do some rebuilding especially because auto layout won’t be part of the move for most bits of the design.”

“Figma charges $16 a month.”

“Or use html.to.design to push websites to Figma.”

“I’m looking to move our companies existing Adobe XD projects over to Figma now that XD is effectively in maintenance mode.”

“We use Token Studio and i find it very clumsy, in particular no ability manage variants, or other figma specific component features, like visibility, states, etc...”

“It’s rarely the case with exported icons from Figma. Just use an existing library for your designs, talk with the developers.”

“I built a plugin for design systems that sync Figma and GitHub. It’s free, unlimited, and not another AI tool”

“This sounds like a huge pain for a developer tbh and an immature approach to design to dev handoff.”

“don’t make a dev export from figma.”

“Why would you expect them to export every icon from Figma? I’ve always thought providing iconography to them is part of our job, not theirs.”

“Not a developer but yes, it's easier to just import icons from a library than manually exporting from Figma and uploading them.”

“Also, on a technical/code level, Figma 's svg exports are pretty bad, and do wasteful things like using masks for the background color.”
