Five years ago I made my poster design with Figma. Fortunately, I got the chance to meet all the amazing ppls behind this product on #Config2022. 🌈 a thread(1/10)
Weekend learning - tried @cursor_ai + Figma MCP that can turn design component in @figma into Tailwind and shadcn~30sec. still early stage, but so many fun! thx for sharing this @glipsman 🙌
I wrote a Cursor<>Figma MCP server to make it easier for AI copilots to implement designs. It's not perfect, but the resulting HTML and CSS is a lot cleaner than giving AI a screenshot and having it guess. Link in the replies, take it for a spin and let me know what you think!
Still putting together slides for my design engineer career sharing next week (for the Taiwan design community!), but see you tomorrow at @figma Config London 👋
Dive into @figma file structure a bit while patching a plugin bug (ohhh, it got a `fig-kiwi` prefix in front of the file🥝🔍) and learned so much from @easylogic's great article medium.com/p/figma-inside…
Put together this little @figma file to hang out with FigPals (using a plugin I built a while back) in the theme park—thanks for all the fun, and goodbye! 👋 figma.com/community/file…
thx for the great tips @miggi !!✨
Want a better connector experience in @figma's FigJam? Hold shift when dragging a connector to target an edge or the center of another diagram shape. #figmatip
Put together a quick intro post about @sonnylazuardi's talk to Figma MCP and gave the new 4o image model a try... impressive!
text-to-svg/icon @figma plugin built with @nextjs, @shadcn UI, and @tailwindcss + @replicate API! It's open source, and I hope it helps anyone looking to build their own plugin! 🤠 Github: github.com/lichin-lin/fig…
