My feed is all:

- designers upset

- people thoughtleadering about why designers shouldn’t be upset

- people reveling in designers being upset

- people just reveling in all the chaos, no matter who is upset

#figmatip Ever want to detach EVERYTHING and watch the world burn?

1. Open quick actions with Cmd/Ctrl + /
2. Type in "Detach" and choose "Detach all nested instances"
3. Detach responsibly

Ahhh, my account is verified! ✅

I applied this morning, not expecting to actually get it... thank you, Twitter team, that was fast.

Ok, so, is there a special club or party I can attend now?

Hi Twitter. I need your help.

A few years ago, I had a freak accident that sent me into catastrophic kidney failure. I've been struggling to find a kidney donor ever since. I'm in dire need of a type O+/- kidney and ask that you please share my story.

Although it’s hard to choose, one of our favorite tips from @HonzaTmn’s #Schema2021 talk is this handy trick to easily tell what changes have been made to variants in a design system.

Select an image, then blend mode and difference to try it out.

There was a lot of great points about colors during yesterday's #Schema2021

So to help you get started creating palettes here's a speed run of how to batch create color styles 🏃‍♂️

[Material Design @materialdesign]

📱🖼️ Visualize how dynamic color will look throughout your components!

Join us for @figmadesign's #Schema2021 conference on October 7, where we'll be giving the FIRST preview of our new Figma plugin soon to be launched at the #AndroidDevSummit → https://t.co/x38buJbhE2

*repeats to self*

Figma is a design tool
Figma is... a design tool
Figma is a... design tool?

[Alex Einarsson @alexeinars]

After a bit of sketching in FigJam I thought: "Why not make marker a little bit smarter?" 👀

So here I am, teaching it to recognize shapes! 🟣♦️

How should I call it?
– Magic Shape ✨
– Smart Marker 🧠

Now in @figmadesign you can totally draw straight lines with the pencil tool while holding down the shift key!

But did you know that depending on the background when you start drawing with the pencil, it will auto adjust white to black and vice versa? Same when placing text!

Figma just rolled out a feature that allows you to turn off showing a shadow behind transparent areas. I'm ridiculously stoked about this because of what it means for turning designs into code.

Left: HTML shadows
Right: Figma shadows

🧶 A thread this little/big feature...

Working on something new. Beep boop. 🤖

[miggi from figma @miggi]

Im updating community file presentation and making a tip to help people understand custom easing in @figmadesign. (Super easy now that we have multiple prototype flows, btw)

What kind of questions do you all have about motion easing and easing curves?

I'm out sick today, so I tapped in an unlikely candidate to make a video covering @rogie 's Procreate and @DavidWilliames 's Image Tracer plugin.

Figma files are the single most exciting way to create and distribute content

So what if @figmadesign launched a "magazine" for the community delivered as a design file?

It would be interactive + educational + community-driven

Here's what I think it could look like 👇

[Figma @figma]

Today we're launching three new ways to compare, test, and present interactive ideas in Figma.✨

→Create multiple flows in a single page
→Add context with flow names and descriptions
→Share flows with a single link for easy viewing
