I'm celebrating 6 years of going freelance and doing the fully remote thing. I've added new work to my site! (built on @webflow) https://t.co/1r2MLCNDTv

I collapsed a 2-4 week design workflow into minutes. Then I zoomed out and realized the same principle applies to every discipline. That's the Digital Operating System. Read Full Details here:

@AdamMura It’s like Mission Control for your website 🕹️

@DannPetty @Tesla If you get a used Y, go for ’22 or later: updated hardware and battery. I found a ’22 Y for $25k minus $4k EV tax credit! New 3s have upgraded styling, rear screen, etc. ($7,500 tax credit) if you don’t want to wait for Y updates. You’ll love it either way.

Hey @figma I have the most basic Slides 101 question: How the heck do you see/accept change updates from a published template??

[Stefan Poulos 🐙 @spoulos]

Design friends - Is there industry term for this #ux pattern?

[Stefan Poulos 🐙 @spoulos]

Hey @figma Can we get more variable modes?

[Stefan Poulos 🐙 @spoulos]

@JedBridges @figma Agreed. I also tried experimenting with the UI when variables came out. It feels like that Design / Figjam / Prototype deserves more prominence.

Hey @figma and UX friends. I redesigned the #Figma UI for variables and dev mode. I think there is opportunity for these new features to feel more harmonious and easier to use. What do ya'll think?

[Stefan Poulos 🐙 @spoulos]

I hit a new goal today.

[Stefan Poulos 🐙 @spoulos]

Anyone know if there is a #figma file of the actual Figma UI interface tool?

[Stefan Poulos 🐙 @spoulos]

@natkohasic @figma Approved. Ship it.

[Stefan Poulos 🐙 @spoulos]

I figured out the missing link between #figma variables and color styles. You can remap your original color styles to primitive variables. This means you can assign variable roles to your original design system color styles in the future... or leave them as is.

[Stefan Poulos 🐙 @spoulos]

Hey @figma you should rethink the UI for variables so that it doesn't look like a "bolt-on" feature. It's very difficult to manage in a little modal. Maybe take a page out of Glide's book. Just an idea 😉

[Stefan Poulos 🐙 @spoulos]

Do #figma variables REPLACE color styles? Why can't you assign variable token roles to existing color styles? Anyone know the answer to this? @figma

[Stefan Poulos 🐙 @spoulos]

@pwnies @figma Why can't you link color variables to color styles in a design system? I don't understand why/how you would want to maintain an entire library of colors in the variables panel that's not also linked to color styles. Am I missing something?

Paulos' unique and interactive grid-style portfolio breaks the norms of what is typically seen in UX design portfolios and can serve as inspiration for those looking to stand out.

With strokes of personality!
