Thanks @realvjy for this, and @miggi @rogie @o_lonks @efedorenko @pablostanley @mrstev3n @vyshnav_xyz for pushing my creativity this month

@o_lonks @figma @framer Do you have tips on starting to learn framer?

[Mai @hey_iammai]

@gleb_sexy @figma I click on the ✨icon and then i start typing the plugin then no result shows up then im confused for a second and realize that I need to click on the plugin tab first also. I miss how UI2 just remembered that I was searching for a plugin there since I never used it for assets.

[Mai @hey_iammai]

@gleb_sexy I avoid variants for icons, but I have one case idk how to go about. If eg I want outlined and filled versions and eg in the navbar it would change from outlined to filled depending on default & active state. In this case having variants for icons seems to be best. Any tips?

[Mai @hey_iammai]

@o_lonks Or 1/50 👀 looks cool though! I like the 3d feel on the right side especially

@tooaverage @figma + that button is not actually just AI, but is really to open “Actions” that covers AI, Assets, Plugins & widgets, and more🤷🏻‍♀️

Looking forward to #Config2024 tomorrow!

I made a Bingo card file if anyone wants to make
@figma feature predictions, or just track classic topics that come up, you can duplicate and share your card!

@vponamariov Oh okay! I thought by “screens” you meant like it requires multiple pages to be designed. But yeah that makes sense and relates to point 1.

Very happy to announce that our perspective is finally out in Nature Comp. Sci! Many thanks to Mat Akbar, @PRobertImmodels, @BartlomiejSwia4, @SandveGeir, Dag Haug, and @victorgreiff for the fantastic work.

[Mai @hey_iammai]

@figma Oh thank you! Exactly what i needed!

[Mai @hey_iammai]

Is there any way to move multiple Figma projects from one team to another easily with the new setup? @figma

[Wetterschneider @Stretchedwiener]

Here it is. If you are a professional, if you are under NDA with your clients, if you are a creative, a lawyer, a doctor or anyone who works with proprietary files - it is time to cancel Adobe, delete all the apps and programs. Adobe can not be trusted.

[Mai @hey_iammai]

@joenebula2 Glad you liked it and thanks for asking @joenebula2 ! Unfortunately with Figma’s current features it is not possible. I hope though that they’ll make it easier to setup similar action with general variables to switch them easier. Will def update my file the moment that happens!

[Mai @hey_iammai]

Currently reading Work Rules! by @LaszloBock and these two book examples side by side were just too funny 🤣

[Mai @hey_iammai]

@HeyZohaib @hereinthehive @figma Not margins exactly (since tbh Figma doesnt really have margins to start with), but you can do negative gaps when using auto layout.

[Mai @hey_iammai]

@laurilllll @hereinthehive @figma With all the bento ui trends, havibg grids would be so nice!!

[Mai @hey_iammai]

@hereinthehive @figma Not sure if this can help, but if on the absolute positioned element you have a left and right contstrain, it will essentially do that. Ofc you still need to set what that means in the beginning, but then when you resize the parent the child will resize with it as “fill” works

@vponamariov On desktop, i keep getting confused between “my profile” and my avatar with my name thing

[Mai @hey_iammai]

I told a dev that tbh making the pretty end designs should be just a small fraction of my job as a product designer, and that there is so much more to it.

He asked what the rest is, and if it is doing frontend development 🥲
