I think I'm going to do a quick series for @figma Generative plugins to showcase different ways you can use them across your designs and day to day Figma'ing.

[Jason Calleiro @jjcall]

@AlexTudun @figma Alex! heck yeah! please give us any feedback on your experience building plugins inside of Figma!

I’ve been thinking about this, the vibe-coding stuff is amazing, particularly in its ability to build scaffolding and get the functionality of an app and the user experience these tools build is hilariously horrible — it’s so bad, you really have to put much more of a heavy hand on it. When you talk about a phrase you’ve been saying regularly — that when execution is cheap, design and creativity are the edge, that’s very resonant to me in that actually conveying properly to the AI what you want is still a difficult challenge without it over-interpreting and over-assuming and spitting out a UI that makes no sense, and the design’s not just wrong at a pixel level, it’s wrong at a conceptual level.

Well said by @benthompson. Vibe coding is like 3d printing for software - good 1st version, needs design to be production grade

Full tutorial coming next week (need to get my voice back from Config first, not to mention sleep off the jet lag)

Played with gen plugins this morning and it’s pretty cool.

Here I’m combining two: one for character patterns and one for random tiling patterns (drawing from a custom palette). Then I added some typography and texture on top.
