Automator @figmadesign plugin by @jsngr is awesome!
Here is an example of a language tester script I've made (with help of Jordan :D) based on @DeepLcom free API.
It automatically detects the language of text layers selected and translate into the desired one (here EN to FR)
@VDOOZER what the fuck, man. Rooster, episode 4, what is going on with that depth of field? The leading lines, the green-screen backgrounds, none of it works. Good thing Steve Carell and the rest of the cast are carrying it.
But « You got it, baby. »
I spent too much time on this:
CLARK: My contention is that with Claudeâs new design tool, Figma has essentially been rendered obsolete, the canvas-based paradigm is most aptly characterized as a legacy artifact from the era before models could generate production-ready interfaces from intenâ
WILL: [interrupting] Of course thatâs your contention. Youâve never shipped anything and just watched the launch video twice. You just got finished reading some hot take, probably a Twitter thread or whoeverâs got a Substack this week, and youâre gonna be convinced Figmaâs dead until next month when you actually try to iterate on a flow and realize âregenerateâ isnât the same as ânudge this four pixels.â Then youâre gonna pivot to talking about how the canvas was always just a lossy interface for intent. Thatâs gonna last until next year when youâre in here regurgitating some take about how design tools are collapsing into a single agentic surface, you know, the post-craft utopia and the disintermediation of taste by foundation models.
CLARK: [taken aback] Well as a matter of fact I wonât, because generative design drastically reduces the need for a manual canvas in the first plaâ
WILL: âGenerative design drastically reduces the need for a manual canvas, especially as models get better at reasoning about layout and hierarchyâŠâ You got that from that Figma-is-dead thread, right? The one that went viral last week. Yeah, I read it too. You gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us, or you have any thoughts â of your own â on this? Or is that your thing, you come into a bar, you skim some trending tweets over lunch and you pawn it off as your own idea to impress some founders, embarrass my friend?
[Clark is stunned]
WILL: See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in about fifty product cycles youâre gonna start doing some thinking on your own and youâre gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in building things. One: donât pick a side in a tool war youâre not actually building in. And two: the people shipping right now are using Claude and Figma and Claude Code before youâve finished writing your LinkedIn post about which one won.
CLARK: Yeah, well Iâll have Claude build my whole product stack, and youâll still be pushing rectangles around in Figma.
WILL: [smiles] Yeah, maybe. But at least Iâll still know how to think when the modelâs wrong.
@AnthropicAI Claude design token usage.
Trying to import a DS, (.fig files) not even started to work on anything. 91% usage .
Well this token crap game has to change.
After working with Notion for so many years, going back to Confluence feels like a step backward.
How does anyone manage to work with that mess? Slow, bad UX, never what I expect.
Found a dream plugin for making typography scales, it creates:
â Variables
â Styles with variables as values
â Sticker sheet on the canvas
And you can build ramps based on a ratio/calculation as well, saving a tonne of time

@bentossell I wonder why there arenât any regulation about this.

I know it's not perfect... but Apple's Distraction Control feature gives people the ability to fight back against the morass of attention-seeking actions polluting the Web.

@0gust1@neuralink For example yes. I really wonder what signals it would read. Apparently, it would disrupt the DMN (default mode network), and detect cross modal activity (seeing sound etc ) and changes in alpha , beta, theta and gamma waves
