I just tried a few AI plugins for #figma and they were all bad. This domain might be a great test for #LLMs . I predict these failings are unlikely to be fixed any time soon:
Layout was poor
They can't create components
Laughably complex object hierarchies (everything was enclosed in a frame)
Of course things will improve, but I expect fixing these deep structural problems are a function of many new constraints, likely beyond what today's LLMs are actually capable of. @simon ?
Any recommendations of software for Android tablets to mock up web UIs? I have an Android device with a stylus, so I would like to use that instead of the mouse of my PC.
Large animations can easily be highly distractive for folks with #ADHD. Being able to pause them individually doesn't make things much better, especially if reloading the page starts them all over again.
It's really disappointing to see a design-focused company like #Figma use that type of purely gratuitous graphics on their #Config conference website, and do so without offering a way to disable them all at once across the site.
That’s a sad lack of consideration for true #A11Y. 🙁🤨🤬
I'm happy to say that ever since I started using Flatpak's desktop #Penpot package, its become one of my favorite programs and I use it every day day now. And it just got a slick new upgrade. So now I finally have a #clojure application in my daily repertoire.
Way better than #Figma, which has become total garbage ever since #Adobe bought it.
If you're a fan of #penpot , and you want to see the latest developments, don't forget you can follow the short video updates from their own #peertube account directly from #mastodon @penpot_app
You know how it is: You start writing one #blog article, but while writing you come up with an idea for another one. And here it is, how to cancel a #figma subscription:
While I'm kinda happy #Adobe's purchase of #Figma didn't go through (I like that there's some competition) I do think there's an opportunity for Adobe to build a Figma-like application that leans more heavily towards graphic design and less toward web/digital product design. Give us Illustrator-class vector tools, better PDF exporting, awareness of inks, etc.
Say I have a path with straight lines, I want to turn one corner into an arc of a circle. Are there any vector tools that allow me to easily do that, with a simple input of the circle radius (e.g. drag up & down to increase & decrease the radius)?
Has anyone here used Figma? What to do when there is no Add Flow Starting Point? Currently I can only have one flow and need multiple. #figma#uidesign#ui
Just ran into the #Figma dev seat restriction. If I'm understanding correctly, I (dev) would need to ask the separate design agency for a seat in their plan, for access to the previously free inspect feature, which they don't use but I do.
Got a new small Wacom to use with Figma - trying to wean myself from the trackpad for ergonomy sake. Hardware is beautiful, software’s shockingly bad, almost the same as the last time I used it a decade ago.
