Was just messing around in Figma, trying to mock up a shockwave / sonic boom effect.two hours later… I vibecoded a whole plugin that does exactly that and nothing else 😅. funny how you can go from “let me try this real quick” to “guess I’m writing tools now” without even

Love this tool! It catches what’s trending in your niche and turns it into posts that sound just like you. Some insanely talented friends of mine built this.

I know it doesn’t come close to the real thing, but this is probably the best Liquid Glass effect you can get in Figma right now. Need tutorial?

@Apple @CubiqNation you'd probably do this better!.To create the glass effect, I literally embedded a sphere normal map as Base64. But there's probably a way to generate this directly in SVG map that adapts to different element sizes and shapes, right?.

Most screens show white at around 100 nits. HDR screens like the MacBook Pro can go over 1000, that’s 10× brighter. In product design, you can use that to show depth (brighter looks closer), make hover effects feel more alive, or highlight alerts and notifications that need.

Modern HDR screens can display brightness levels above regular white. Normally, pure white (RGB 255,255,255) is the brightest thing you can show. But with HDR, you can push parts of the screen to higher luminance, so they actually glow. That’s what’s happening here: the.

I think I just figured out how to use HDR for product design. UI elements glowing brighter than white, directly in the browser. Had to record it off-screen because you literally can’t screenshot it. Want to see how it works?

So Figma dropped “Make” (basically V0, Lovable) and “Sites” (basically Framer, Webflow)…. And everyone’s like: This changes everything!!.
