Figma Make, now on your local code

In limited beta starting today, you can visually edit and ship changes by connecting Make to your codebase

At Figma, we use our products to design in every way: design layers, prototypes, and now, production code

@alessandro20XX @DanHollick @workspacesxyz We need a beautiful diagram to understand how this sequence of adapters works!

@hobdaydesign There is a few in this thread that are not necessarily focused on new screens. Batch revisions and operations, synthesizing comments, etc

But thats good push to show a wider breadth of use cases, and I like the categorization idea 🙏

A thread of @figma agent prompt examples / screen recordings I helped bring to life to get you started on automations (with 🎵 made on my OP-XY): 🧵

1.) Explore design directions
Prompt: Give me 3 style options for this design, one that's organic, one modern, and one retro.

@leoofz Congrats on the launch, Leo! Can't wait to dig into the updates.

[Tom Lowry @negativespaceca]

Such a wide range of use cases to get an assist with, using the new agent in Figma! Let us know what you think!

Design matters more than ever.

Building fast is table stakes now. The harder problem is whether what ships still matches what you meant (and whether you catch your blind spots before they ship with it). New article on what it can look like when the canvas and codebase stay in conversation.

One of my favorite new updates to @figma Draw dropped today! Hold ⌘ key (Ctrl on Windows) when you have a brush selected to make it your current brush.

Pick up from where you left off with your illustration, or build your palette on the canvas!

@round would not be the first time!

@GergelyOrosz @jitl Push notifications were a mistake. I simply have do not disturb mode always on

@dontgetbored @alessio_joseph IMO, the Mazda's that are not touchscreen centric are nice and simple (ex: cx50). Though the newest redesigns seem to be succumbing to the touchscreen pressures.

[Tom Lowry @negativespaceca]

@brettmcm Yes!

non-designers who have never designed anything: "designers are cooked!"

people who have worked in code, want to work in code, always will work in code: "future of design is code!"

companies selling tokens: "move that button 4px with a prompt!"

designers:

[Tom Lowry @negativespaceca]

Same thoughts. With stuff like this you need to need to see it to get these sorts of transitions and micro interactions right. To get a certain effect, it sometimes means a completely overhaul of the structure of divs/frames, what needs to be absolutely positioned versus not, etc.

It’s so much faster to do this on the canvas than blow through tokens trying to articulate every aspect of this into words…and then get it wrong.

@rogie Yea someone is playing a game behind me. It might activate the caveman dna. I just want to sleep.

Touchscreens on the back of headrests was a mistake.
