So weird that you can’t upload an image to Claude 4 or supply it a Figma file as visual reference. If you want to achieve any kind of unique look you need to manually describe styles…

Still can't believe this is out there in the wild. Our Design System docs site for Carsales is public and I couldn't be prouder

I feel like Figma Make is the best tool for designers who like to vibe code at the moment. It does the best job of translating a design into a functional web app

Design systems people: Do you keep icons in a separate Figma library and reference them, or bundle them straight into your main library? Curious what works best for you and why.

Would love to see Figma support percentage-based sizing in auto layout. It’d make collaboration with devs a lot easier. How do they not have this already? Framer does it well.

Finding a great mentor through ADPList changed my life. Reaching out to others to get guidance is so often absolutely invaluable in careers growth

One of the simplest career hacks? Be proactive, not reactive. Protect your time so you can focus on what really matters to you.

Has Figma Sites got any better since it was first launched and trashed by YouTubers? About to start my first build with it...

Spent a few hours building in Figma Sites. First impressions: ✔️ Great for designers already in Figma. Same shortcuts, same layout controls. ✔️ Your design system works out of the box: components, variables, styles, the lot. ✔️ Borrowed Framer’s responsive approach: desktop is

Confluence and Jira have become literal dumpster fires of onboarding tooltips, modals and banners introducing new, useless features. Meanwhile, their core functionality is buggy and slow. Just make it work well, and get out of my way lol

Right now there is a massive opportunity for someone to make content on building using Figma Sites. Literally nothing available out there aside from what Figma have...

The hate directed at this young female designer shows how underdeveloped and over-opinionated many on here are. If you want to thrive in a high-performing team, you need high EQ and the ability to give feedback that’s constructive and respectful.
