Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I noticed that popular variable fonts like Inter and Geist lack some of the special symbols found in their static versions. 010
Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 14/09/2026There are definitely good and bad examples. I mostly notice the inconsistency within a single website, like having hover states on some buttons, but missing on others. 110
Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Figma color-mix feature. Posting it now so future me can check how wrong (close?) I was. 011
Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 08/09/2026While we're still waiting for overlay scrollbars in CSS, here's a nice article on making one in 2026 using modern CSS: blog.master.dev/custom-scrol...blog.master.devCustom Scrollbar Component In 2026Thanks to some very modern CSS, we can visually replicate the logic of scrollbars. Then make them actually functional. 011
Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Wrote a small post about experimenting with the Figma agent + Claude + GitHub Actions to ship our design tokens to npm. The agents wrote all the scripts. Then a button ran them faster. blog.gitbutler.com/design-token...blog.gitbutler.comFigma agent vs. one button: shipping design tokens to npmI automated our design tokens release with two AI agents. It took six minutes per run. A button my plugin has had for years takes seconds. 021

Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 21/08/2026tokens-bruecke 3.6.0 is out 🎉 www.npmjs.com/package/toke... The new `--input` flag and `init` command so the Figma agent can drive the CLI: it dumps the variables from your open file, pipes them in, and gets DTCG tokens back. No API key. No Enterprise plan. A Figma skill is coming soon 👀 140

Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Just import CSS and JS files: ``` <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.figma.com/propskit/fig.css"> <script src="https://www.figma.com/propskit/fig.js"></script> ``` Would love to see Figma drop the 'generative plugins only' label and just make this an officially supported UI kit for everyone. 000
Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 26/07/2026I was digging into the UI kit Figma uses for building plugins through agents. Found the page with all components: help.figma.com/hc/en-us/art... The docs say: **Caution:** PropsKit components can only be used with generative plugins. That's not quite true 🤓 you can use it outside agents tab too. 130
Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Making logos in ASCII style for GitMerge'26. So far GitHub was the hardest one, but let's see how OpenAI and Cursor turns out. Time to see what these symbols can do █▄▀ 141

Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Super cool. It’s really nice to have lists that aren't boring 010
Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Not sure how long it's been like this, but I only just noticed that Figma is using web components. Neat. 2203
Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Finally added a proper JSON preview to the TokensBruecke plugin. Now you can fold groups and search for items without needing to open your editor. Also, the plugin now converts the entire JSON to align with the latest DTCG specs. 010

Reposted by Pavel LaptevPatrick Brosset @patrickbrosset.com · 04/03/2026This demo doesn't use a single line of JS code to respond to the arrow keys. Movement of the player is handled 100% by the upcoming `focusgroup` HTML attribute! Focusgroup was definitely *not* made for this 😅 But, so cool to have this out of the box on the web.

Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Another interesting case: data population. A while back I built the JSON to Figma plugin to solve that. With FigClaw, I don't think I need it anymore. 010
Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Interesting that @figma.com still hasn't built anything like FigClaw. You can design in Figma Make, reach the canvas via MCP from your IDE — but nothing in between that just does things for you inside Figma itself, beyond some image generation and text editing. www.figma.com/community/pl... 020

Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Neat! I love that you added focus matching for every card. Tabbing is broken on the original website, so this is a nice improvement. 110
Reposted by Pavel LaptevAndy Stewart @andystew.art · 27/03/2026I stumbled upon Josh Puckett's lovely Interface Craft website. I wanted to see how well the cards interaction (built with Framer Motion) would translate to native View Transitions. These don't have the little animated graphics, but that should be feasible with this approach. 251
Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 04/04/2026That's brilliant! The website looks and feels great. 👏 110
Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Nice! Thanks for the links. I think fws-supply feels much snappier when ‘motion’ is turned off. 010
Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Thanks! I completely missed this. Nice to see some movement there, thanks for sharing the link. 020
Pavel Laptev @pavellaptev.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Thanks! Yes, a few things still missing some pieces, but the overall look is good already. 000
