3D Printing is SO freaking fun. I made a site with @figma Make + Payload (CMS) that auto publishes each print from my Bambu P2S as it's printing / printed. noah3dprints.figma.site/

you'll do your best work in a tool that allows you to be whimsical, too! 🔊🔊🔊 — lol i've lost hours building fun stuff like this with code layers… @figma code layers starting to roll out into open beta TODAY! incredibly excited to see what you'll cook!

Did you know about Figma's chrome extension? Well, now you do! And we've improved it! Press the “capture code” button to create a Code Layer on the canvas :)

Figma's Dylan Field says our definition of "slop" keeps silently moving: "I said, 'AI will lower the floor and raise the ceiling.' And I had to correct myself, because actually that's not what we're seeing yet." "We're seeing it lower the floor. It's more democratized to do something. But the ceiling doesn't seem to have changed." "Anything you can verify, AI's great at. Math being number one, maybe cybersecurity number two... You get five designers in a room, they can't agree all the time on exactly what they should do. And that's what's interesting about design. There is not one solution." "A lot of the stuff that we call slop wouldn't be stuff we'd call slop a month ago or two months ago. As the models change, our definition of slop changes." "The craft that you imbue into something is reflective of your thinking. It's reflective of your care. People pick up on it. Whether they can articulate it or not, they can tell." "It creates a lower bound that you have to exceed, but it doesn't define the upper bound. You define the ceiling." @zoink w/ @sophiadew on @MTSLive

In case you're wondering the Figma MCP does in fact work really well with iOS / MacOS :) Just ask your agent to drop designs it into a Figma file - and it should create high fidelity views with tokens based on your own tokens etc etc (ps. the whole buildout was <10m but chopped for tweet sake)

as a runner, moving to SF meant improvising a run (as I often did in London/Santa Monica) could send me up a small mountain ... so I built: flattensf.com

We launched the @figma agent out of beta today! Check out this blog post covering some great uses for it: figma.com/blog/3-ways-produc… Huge congrats to many people who worked on this (too many to name) — so proud of all the work under the surface that went into this one!
