Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Love this For the HSL transformations, have you found them to give consistent outputs across colour? I.e. will you eventually move to OKCLH? 100
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Very, very smooth. Tell me more about this “structure” naming convention! 100
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 11/06/2025That’s something I can’t wrap my head around yet. Instinctively, I want to push those into another collection called System, which is a refined set of the full primitive list Primitive (brand modes > system (refined, light/dark) > semantic (single mode) Playing here www.figma.com/design/twnnN...figma.comLogin | Figma 000
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Whilst this isn’t traditionally deemed best practice, I can see a very strong case for it! Recently I’ve been thinking that perhaps primitives are where we store the brand modes 100
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Great callout. Do you keep primitives in a single mode? Figma’s previous token setup had different saturation ramps for light and dark primitives! 100
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 06/06/2025Yeah same! Just trying to think about what 3.0 may look like 😃 010
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 06/06/2025Progressively, I guess so! But I think the light/dark AND brand switch at the semantic level is perhaps not the way 110
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 06/06/2025I can’t stop thinking about how maybe semantic tokens should be a single mode A codified name to consolidate a cascade of (aliased) decisions - Light/dark are system changes - Brand is a change at the primitive level 550
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Had a play around with an OKCLH picker thing where you can darken all colors evade-pleat-13396558.figma.siteevade-pleat-13396558.figma.siteOKLCH Color Design Token ToolA site 110
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 04/06/2025Published a new plugin 🤖 "Import CSS shadows, create Figma styles" allows you to do just that. You can create variables too Recently I was building a UI kit from an existing website and rebuilding shadows from CSS was really slow, so built this! www.figma.com/community/pl... 050
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 29/05/2025New plugin published: batch rename variables It allows you to rename by: • Find & replace • Add prefix • Add suffix • Change case You can also revert any name changes. Should hopefully save a tonne of time! www.figma.com/community/pl... 082
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 21/05/2025I've updated the CSS variables Figma plugin! Noooow, you can export AND import CSS variables. Copy, paste, or upload a CSS file, and it will generate your variables including aliasing ◇ Hopefully makes variable migration a lot easier www.figma.com/community/pl... 061
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 20/05/2025😮 okay there’s tomorrow’s homework Thank you for continuing the conversation! 020
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 19/05/2025Weirdly, I was thinking about "design systems limit my creativity" over the weekend and @donnie.damato.design drops this: blog.damato.design/posts/done-w... Innovation requires deviation, and locking down experimentation is where alignment fails. Maybe we don't need component arbiters anymore?blog.damato.designDone with componentsComponent libraries aren't design systems until people start caring. 131
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 25/04/2025Enjoying playing around with opacity layering to try and reduce the amount of variables you need to support 020
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 16/04/2025Registration is one of the first user experience contact points of your software, but a really neglected opportunity for delight 120
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Figma's UI3 is now available to browse in the community ❖ www.figma.com/community/fi... 0132
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 20/03/2025No they are very useful! If you can manage to get a hold of shared values across an organisation, you’re doing a fantastic job. The attention to detail of those implementing tokens implies the system is working 110
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 20/03/2025You don’t need a “design system” if quality is a non-negotiable company value 110
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Sat down with the Figma team to talk about craft – what is it, how do we define it, and how can you get better at it? This is part of a mini series called Blend Mode, with two other videos on the design process and users coming out in the next few weeks www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXQZ...youtube.comBlend Mode: Craft | FigmaYouTube video by Figma 0130
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Just so impressive isn't it. Can't believe how much is packed into the tiny little devices 010
Luis @discolu.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Published a plugin! It allows you to copy CSS variables from Figma in either design or dev mode 🧑💻 www.figma.com/community/pl... 0142
