Starting off day 2 of @a11yTO Conf with a talk by my friend and former colleague @danieldafoe. I learned a lot about the features and affects of ARIA outside of screen readers.

Sorry bbt, but I recently found out there's a raccoon FigPal 🦝

I had a blast at @figma's Maker Collective Happy Hour event in Toronto tonight! Made some new connections and had some great conversations about all things design.

@donnavitan @disco_lu We're managing colours and typography in a "Theme" collection like you are. Now, we're trying to figure out the best ways to organize platform and breakpoint variables via their own collections.

[Eric Tse @EricTse_]

@disco_lu @donnavitan Was wondering the same thing. Thanks, @donnavitan and @disco_lu!

[Eric Tse @EricTse_]

Super excited about an afternoon of learning with @figma today! I've been spearheading our team's variables initiatives since the feature's launch and am looking forward to adding more variables coverage (typography?!) to our design system.

I'm digging my new doge cursor in @figma 😂

[Eric Tse @EricTse_]

My next variables project is set if typography variables are coming tomorrow 👀

Typography

Accessibility learning opportunities was low on the https://t.co/GaqpwUVC8z's design system priority list, but they saw unexpected success! This gives me hope and motivation as I create more accessibility education through the design system for my teammates at RBC.

[Eric Tse @EricTse_]

Attending this @a11yTO meetup tonight! The https://t.co/GaqpwUVC8z design system is one I reference often, so I'm looking forward to their lessons learned when it comes to incorporating accessibility.

[#a11yTO @a11yTO]

Our presenter for the next A11YTO meetup is David Cox!
David Cox is a web accessibility expert. While working for the https://t.co/4anwtIv90U Design System and the Ontario Design System teams, his mission is to make the web more accessible for Canadians with disabilities

[Eric Tse @EricTse_]

As I continue to help grow the accessibility practice within RBC's design system, I will keep these tips in mind as I prioritize our future accessibility initiatives.

[Eric Tse @EricTse_]

These are some awesome Dev Mode features coming to Figma. Looking forward to trying annotations to better collaborate with my development partners!

[Figma @figma]

Coming next week: New features in Dev Mode to bring design + dev closer.

Annotations (!!), improvements to diffing, plugins, and the VS Code extension.

What's shipping January 31 as Dev Mode moves out of free beta → https://t.co/aOIXilmzQR

A great tip about designing for a 320px layout. Not only does this cover the mobile breakpoint, it also addresses content reflow at 400x zoom.

[Eric Tse @EricTse_]

Looking forward to tonight's @a11yTO meetup about accessible design tokens, hosted by my friend Karen Hawkins from @LevelAccessA11y!

[Eric Tse @EricTse_]

I had a blast at last night's book launch for @steven_lebron's Prehistoric! Loved hearing all the origin stories of the @Raptors and seeing the logo design process. Congrats, Alex!
