@figma @figma Wow! Can it already use components from a design system? #pleasesayyes

[David Prati @davidprati]

@figma 🔪🐔🎯

[Figma @figma]

#Config2023 launches bridge the gap between design and development, all in Figma.

→ Dev Mode, a new space for developers
→ Variables
→ Advanced prototyping
→ Auto layout updates
→ Font picker
→ File browser redesign

Plus, we previewed the future of Figma with AI and announced the acquisition of @diagram. https://t.co/RB3qHFSSPz

@jackiechuichui @FonsMans @figma Indeed the overflowing logic seems great, it's the same behavior than code.

I wouldn't need to control number of columns, because I can already do 2 things:
- My items have fixed-widths, with fixed gutters
- My items have "fill-container" widths, with fixed gutters :)

[David Prati @davidprati]

@jackiechuichui @FonsMans @figma Is it clear enough? Can do a little video if better :)

[David Prati @davidprati]

@jackiechuichui @FonsMans @figma My regular use case is:
- I have a grid of elements (see my screenshot) :
- A container verticallly-autolayouted of rows
- Each row is horizontally-autolayouted

Problem: if I want to change the position of one content, it's painful, as it has not a natural "floating" behavior

Using data well is hard.

It's easier to talk up the latest tech or wrap ourselves up in its pretty promises, but those things don't make for better decisions.

Being truly data-informed comes down to internalizing a set of 5 simple yet exceedingly powerful values: 👇

[Julie Zhuo @joulee]

1. Conviction around a purpose, rather than searching for meaning in numbers

Data does not give you a strategy, mission, or values.

“Increasing Metric X” is not a reason for being; a true purpose must relate in some way to creating value for other humans.

Metrics are proxies.

A problem well-defined is half solved.

Hi everyone 👋
I'm available now for freelance projects in front-end development (ReactJS preference) !

Please share the word 🙏

@disco_lu @alexr790 IMO it's separate components. Components are defined by how they mainly work, not how they look like.

But you can have :
- A button component
- A badge component, with 2 variants: one is interactive, the other not.

@efounders Use Tailwind UI as a bootstrap for our Design System. We saved a huge amount of time, and were able to focus on what matters : content, logic and flows (early-stage context)

@jmdenisme Todoist, but the game changer was when I read "Getting things done". I don't think the app is ultra-important by itself :)

[David Prati @davidprati]

@vponamariov Sometimes, it's also correlated with the content width. The larger it is, the larger the line-height should be.

[David Prati @davidprati]

Figjam permissions: if you want to allow a user to edit AND CREATE Figjam files and not Figma files, here's the right combination 😅

[David Prati @davidprati]

Things I'll never understand:
- Tenet
- String theory
- @figma roles, permissions and billing systems

[David Prati @davidprati]

@jupelletier @figmadesign Happens to me sometimes, I fix it by cut/paste the layer, or remove it and then cmd+Z

[David Prati @davidprati]

Copy/paste interactions in Figma is possible! (useful if you need to make all your DS components interactive ^^) https://t.co/p3qyfw7yyM
