One of the slightly magical things we did in Prototyping with Variables was something we called Two Way Variant Binding. It lets you share state between Interactive Components without explicitly setting any variables.

wowowow i think the Scripter plugin for @figmadesign might be stealing my heart for creative coding. It's a different workflow but i think this could be a super powerful mix of procedural + hands-on. Nice work @rsms .

Asking gpt to explore variations and choosing the one's i like. Prompting it for specific things when necessary, and manually modifying code when i feel like something direct. The GPT4 suggestions were way better but i think this is a super fun way to collaborate with the model

Around the time @willdepue started working on their @figma computer, I also embarked on a journey to create mine... although now I can't claim to be the first. ~3kb program memory, ~1kb ram, 18 instructions, and a Figma plugin to help compile small C programs using ELVM.

<3 <3 This is why i love working at figma and with niko. I've never had work thrown over the wall to me to 'just implement', we're all creating and owning this together. Something like figma is so complex there's no way you could design it completely without actually building it
