I got tired of directly editing a json file and decided to gamify it instead. Since I'm making my own reasoning model based on my own data, I figured I'd find a way to make annotating that data more fun.

Been playing with figma make for a bit. It’s so close to being a good product. But also, have you ever wanted to see all possible solutions to a board game?

I often see engineers getting surprised by this but tabs navigation should be arrow based, similar to radio buttons. So keyboard / screen reader users don't have to go through all the tab items before getting to the content 👀

If someone says “bridge the gap between design and development” one more time, I’m gonna lose it

Impact of AI on Tech Content Creators
Wes on Syntax: I write content. That content is consumed by people. But a lot of it has been used to train AIs for people to get a very quick answer. You can see the amount of bots visiting websites has been going up significantly. You ask a question about JavaScript and they go suck in 40 pages and it distills it down.

You cannot guarantee your (insert ai design tool of the week) will still be there 1 year from now

Big note: anything you build into your process (using a specific software, a plugin, an api) all of it could go away with acquisitions, increased costs, or even internal capacity/funding for any specific tools. Any robust system should be tool agnostic, outcome based, and have good fallbacks

And no, it wasn’t Figma. But it’s a big reason why I keep saying no to meeting with their team. Like, can I get a kickback for this since it’s now going to be used as a differentiator? Gonna go grumble and eat breakfast

lol, I gotta remember to keep my best ideas close to my chest. Was taking part in a pilot at work and shared how I was making their tool work for me, only to have them tit-for-tat release my workflow as a feature of their tool the next week.

When your old design system team finally implements the plan you and your coworker put in place and they celebrate it like they didn’t fight it the whole time and force you out… I’m not peeved, no not at all.

lol my coworker and I have now made possibly one of the coolest pipelines for design system library analytics across code and design and I’m really mad that I can’t show any of it. Data at that level will probably never be approved by corp. How do y’all get permission to share your stuff?

lol but also probably only for 9-12 months and then it doubles

Yup, that’s what I’m doing. Wonder if it plays well with animation.

Time to build some custom visualization graphs of all this now… Why doesn’t any charting library support react 19 yet? Do I need to do this all by hand?

There’s so much that this empowers that I’m excited again to see what insights and opportunities we have to measure the scope of impact when changing things or viewing utilization across an organization. Like, leveraging all the tools we have for visualizing, recommending, interacting with…

Darian Rosebrook @darianrosebrook.com · 17/01/2025
Finally built a thing I’ve been chasing for a few years now. The foundational layer to quantify a design system’s impact across the organization. Also, Figma’s analytics API sucks. Lol

Darian Rosebrook @darianrosebrook.com · 31/12/2024
Idk why, but the Figma API is hilariously restrictive I can see a team name and the org it belongs to in the UI, but if I go to use the API all I get is “user does not have access to this team” Like, what I’m trying to do requires me to jump through so many endpoints that I need my own server

That would have been a cool name to keep. But I guess go with what people will expect? Banner seems like it would be easier to remember for what it does, but still, masthead is cooler

Almost got this design where I want it. Still have plenty of tweaks I want to make and need to figure out the animations on the blueprints page. I’ll go over and refactor a lot when I get more content in

I'm more of a "medium mode" kind of person:
Custom colors for the bluesky app where it has medium grey as the background, a light orange for borders, and mid-blue for buttons. Feels middle of the road between light and dark.

In the past I’ve been keyed in on A/B tests with live users, also had my own versions of my designers files where I could test the components in context. Small components are easy to do context related testing, larger like a one time passcode field need more testing

100% the thing that I was trying to solve there was helping fix the pipeline from design to working code and it was a problem no one but my team wanted to fix. Eventually they exited that whole team

Darn, I was hoping they would keep the implementation details for devs.

Nothing says creative like using 3 font styles, and 4 different typefaces

But hey, these kinds of projects are always teaching me something new about full stack development. If everyone weren’t so busy though I wouldn’t have to do all this myself

Darian Rosebrook @darianrosebrook.com · 06/05/2023
Haha, leave it to me to make a simple Figma plugin that syncs design and GitHub and turn it into a huge CI/CD process that outputs platform specific libraries/packages. I’m never saying “it’ll be a simplified process” again. Doing continuous delivery involves a lot of developer magic wand stuff 🪄✨

Made some really really tasty dessert yesterday. I guess you could add “star baker” to my imaginary resume. Alt tags seem borked? So this is a 9” gluten free lemon tart, 6 ramekins of crème brûlée, and gluten free madeleines. Sooo good omg 🤤
