@figma.com has a new left nav bar. Why is Library hidden in the least visible corner (bottom left), and why does it disappear in 2 of the 4 views? Also, is it Libraries or Assets? File or Layers? And we still have “Toggle variables” in the menu, but no shortcut for the new Variables panel. Puzzling.

Building a simple tool in Figma Make for exploring number sequences. Generates curves manually or with presets, and visually compares them to classics like Fibonacci, primes, triangular numbers, etc. Perfect for color ramps, motion curves, scales, and other design system nerdery.

Loved @discolu.bsky.social's Medium post about ditching 4px spacing for the Fibonacci sequence. Looked into polygonal numbers for a similar purpose, and my hot take: Triangular numbers > Fibonacci for spacing 😍 Similar progression, but without the wild exponential jump at larger numbers.

Almost two years, and Figma still doesn’t support string variables for line-height. Let us use percentages instead of calculating one for every text size!

I’d love to see a crossover between Planet of the Apes and Silo where Bad Ape and Solo team up for something crucial—essentially the same character in different species, both played by Steve Zahn.

It’s been 16 months since I tweeted here, hopelessly, “I really wished and hoped Bluesky was it.”, and now I’m thinking it IS it after all!

Thank you @samiamdesigns.bsky.social for a meaningful, relevant, and insightful talk today. As much as I like the advanced feature announcements from the Tokens Studio folks, I find that content a bit self-serving and non-relatable at times. Your talk was the winner for me today!

You are up to date.
