@bryanberger @byallwhite @figma Speaking of hacks, we had this in Sketch Runner way back when 🤣

@bomberstudios Designing with code is still designing.

At least that’s what I tell myself – aka being in denial.

@mds Seriously? If I had the time I could recreate this in a week tops.

@sdw This has been my home screen for a year now. The camera icon at the bottom is a shortcut to Halide. Sorry!

@MathieuDutour @sketch @Jatodaro 😂 There have been a few such releases over the years! Love it when it happens though.

I used the analogy of “tying your shoelaces” with my 6.5yo.

The tieShoelaces function accepts one parameter (shoe), where although they may be for different feet they have enough commonality to execute the function.

The function requires multiple internal steps to complete, but you can decide what those steps should be (many ways to tie shoelaces). I didn’t want to say it’s some kind of magical box.

The tieShoelaces function can be used by other functions like getReadyToLeave. When completed, the function returns an updated version of the object that was passed to it (shoe with tied shoelaces).

It could also fail to complete and throw an error for different reasons (ex: shoe has no laces).

@emanuelsa @sketch Congrats on the milestone! 💯
Minimap looks awesome, especially seeing all the actual artboards rendered in there 🤯

[Aby Nimbalkar @abynim]

@rodionovme Awesome man, enjoy! And thanks for working on it 🙏

[Aby Nimbalkar @abynim]

@rodionovme Hey I added you as a collaborator on the source repo and the public plugin repo. No judgments on my code please 😅

@ryngonzalez Are we moving away from Design Technologist now? Or is that different?

[Aby Nimbalkar @abynim]

I prefer the structured layout of components on the right compared to the scattered look on the left.

For the headline, maybe –

The design system you’ve been planning to build.

– sounds stronger since your audience has probably been planning to build their own system for a while, but they don’t need to anymore?

@AdhamDannaway @PracticalUi 2nd edition looks great! Appreciate all the additional info around using colors. I also enjoyed the new copywriting tips. Nicely done 👏

@FitFounder First day I could only do six pushups. Took me around 5 months to be able to do 4 sets of 20 pushups until failure.

4 sets = regular, diamond, wide, and pike pushups x 20.

I hope people aren’t trying to do 100 on the first day!

@mrcndrw @sketch @figma @framer Wow, big step Marc. Congrats and all the best 👏👍

[Aby Nimbalkar @abynim]

@mrcndrw Happy 25th Birthday, Marc 🎂🥳

@jtaby I used Sugru for something like this and got decent results. Wasn’t perfect, but it worked. https://t.co/4O6Edqly02

@agkdesign Does Suage count? Or is soup curry a separate category?

[Aby Nimbalkar @abynim]

Hey @figma users who use Auto Layout, what comes first: the frame or the children?

Do you create an empty frame first then add children, or gather a bunch of frames/instances and wrap them in a frame?

@AdhamDannaway @PracticalUi Thanks! It has been a year and gone through a few iterations, but it’s still in progress. Super fun to work on though. As a designer + developer, building a system like this is quite rewarding.

Our team is 3 designers, 4 FE devs, 2 QA devs, and 1 tech writer.
