@hamishoneill We have a boilerplate design file which all designers duplicate when they start a new task. We have master component templates set up in there for common breakpoints with headers/footers/grids etc. Then detach and off you go

[Grant Purtle @grantpurtle]

@hamishoneill The other problem I have with slots is that if they’re part of a component with variants, then nested inside a larger parent pattern, which also has variants. The instance swap isn’t retained when changing variants of that parent pattern, which is a bad consumer experience

@itspatmorgan @figma My opinion is that's is a more focused view, and your mindset is different. Eg design mode = creating, prototype mode = reviewing

@thejustinwelsh The tactical steps (with examples) to promote and sell my digital products, and the best way to automate it

Is anyone else a bit worried about the level of complexity creeping into Figma?

Balancing "make design accessible" with constant feature requests from a vocal power user base has to be TOUGH...

FWIW I think they're doing great. But each Config they steepen the learning curve 🤷‍♂️

@BrettFromDJ Killer idea

@molly_hellmuth Awesome tips! Bit of a tangent here, but what do you use to record your screen?

[Grant Purtle @grantpurtle]

@jesseddy @figma You're welcome! Alternatively for small jobs, you could keep both light/dark in the same file as variants or separate instances which could be easily swapped out.

@zeroheight Yep agree, it can work but with many challenges especially if multiple teams are involved

[Grant Purtle @grantpurtle]

@zeroheight Draft a strategy how you want your consumers to adopt your design system. Talk to them often an early to establish commitment to adoption, then shift the conversation to how much to adopt and how soon.

@Amy_Hupe Most def cheese and onion pasty. I'd be too distracted to get annoyed at the other with my breath taken away from the pong. You need a loud crunchy snack to level up the annoyance
