@modacitylife That first picture of the couple and the two dogs just became my #1 life goal. 😀

If you want to understand how we’ve screwed up with climate change, watch Don’t Look Up. The media hated it because it holds a mirror up to them but it’s a stunningly accurate portrayal of how the rich, politicians, media and social media have stopped us from saving ourselves

@oneGReatvegan Whoa! 🤤

[Jim Connolly @jimb0connolly]

This is a fantastic Figma UI kit.

@buninux Wow, huge update! I cannot wait to dig into this.

[Jim Connolly @jimb0connolly]

@DMC_Ryan This is so sad to hear. Condolences to his family and friends.

Designers are ascending into mind-blowing game devs using @figma variables.

Here are 7 unbelievable masterpieces you need to see, made entirely inside Figma (genius):

I think I've pushed @figma's new Variables and Advanced prototyping to its limit...

I present a fully working version of Flappy Bird!! 🔥

Featuring:
- Scoring + highscores
- Pseudo-randomised pipe placement
- Physics based movement
- Uses 46 variables

We are watching an extinction even more horrifying than the dodo play out before our eyes.

Future generations will never forgive us. They will not be able to countenance the cavalierness with which we watched the right whales drown so the rich could eat lobster.

I created a card personalizing design page using Figma's new Prototype with variables❤️‍🔥 feature. @figma #figmaprototype #creditcard #animation #figmatutorial #ui #uidesign

@AndyLeCocq @ILMVFX @halhickel S3 was my favorite because of all the amazing ship cinematography. Nice work!!

[Jim Connolly @jimb0connolly]

@TinyDodoGames Looks beautiful!

[mr fabio @fffabs]

When your client asks you to make the logo bigger, @figma variables got you covered.

[Jim Connolly @jimb0connolly]

@pwnies @notanush @figma That is wild!

[Ridd 🤿 @ridd_design]

Obviously, auto layout, prototyping, dev mode, etc. is a huge deal...

But there were a LOT of amazing features released at Config that are easier to miss 👀

Creating a running list of some of my favorites as I find them 👇

But variables look awesome, and hopefully resolves the need for token plugins.

@TheSpaceshipper I highly recommend the audio version of this book!
