Ok, wow. Figma released interactive components a few days ago it is already blowing my mind what you all have been able to make. I compiled a list of all the cool things y'all are making , here:
🧵
Ok, so here's the deal. Noise & Texture, 6 months in the making and over 300 hours of dev (learning time too ok calm down), is launching tomorrow.
It's gonna be $0 aka free. Can I get your help to upvote it on Product Hunt tomorrow? This is all I ask.
Instagram is dead. Where are all of the great photos of all the artists I want to follow? It’s nothing but ads and reels from folks I know nothing about.
Fuck design celebrities: a conversation about why idolization of anyone is toxic and prevents growth.

🥁 Procreate Import for Figma is here! 🥁
It's a labor of love, free
@figmadesign
plugin that allows you to import .procreate files with blend modes, groups and layers.
Would love your help to get the word out :)
I built in SO many interesting tiling abilities into this plugin, but, most people use it for static noise...I mean...look at what this can do? Math is so rad!
Ok, if you're a fan of
@WGMInterfaces
and
@figmadesign
, this is the moment for you! The next 30 people that reply/quote tweet with something awesome they made in Figma get added to this list. Will save the next 30 for tomorrow.
Get it.
Forever behind my friend, Halli.
@elonmusk
is a detestable human, and the only thing of any good out of all of this is that we get to see, once again, the rad human that Halli is.

9 days ago the access to my work computer was cut, along with about 200 other Twitter employees.
However your head of HR is not able to confirm if I am an employee or not. You've not answered my emails.
Maybe if enough people retweet you'll answer me here?
Been coding this noise plugin for
@figma
— you can apply noise to strokes, fills and adjust settings.
I want to make sure it's perfect for y'all. Hit me with your thoughts.
This is THAT moment. FINALLY launching Noise & Texture, 6 months in the making and over 300 hours of dev (learning time too ok calm down)!
It's FREE. Yup, $0. Can I get your help to upvote it on Product Hunt? This is all I ask. Ok a RT too, if you must.
One tiny thing I fell in love with in
@figmadesign
is that Boolean operations with shapes are non-destructive. You can still edit the shapes inside a union, intersect, etc without needing to flatten your vectors.

A little update for the Noise & Texture / Clippy plugins (my two most recent Figma plugins). They have NO network access. This is especially great for organizations and enterprise, where infosec is a really big deal.
What this means is that these plugins won't be at risk in…
It's apparent that
@DavidWilliames
and I are building best-buddy
@figma
plugins, that complement eachother:
Make some textures with my Noise & Texture plugin:
Make them vector with Dave's Image Tracer:
Ok, so unless you're living under a rock (sounds kinda nice tbh...so peaceful), you've heard about Figma × Adobe. I'm still processing it all too 💜
But, what I really want to know how you feel. What are you most concerned about and why? Lay em on me.
@YS
With all due respect (and I’m all about future tooling), it’s not a great look to insult one of our best in the community. Halli’s an icon. I think your point could be served best with perhaps a different angle, however, I do love to doodle in design (as a coder)
Seriously thinking I should just abandon insta and throw my art here. I know some of you follow me for Figma stuffs so hit me if a like if you’re cool with art too!
Figma just rolled out a feature that allows you to turn off showing a shadow behind transparent areas. I'm ridiculously stoked about this because of what it means for turning designs into code.

Right: Figma shadows
🧶 A thread this little/big feature...
What I know about Figma × Adobe:
Figma ded?
Adobe is committed to keeping Figma operating autonomously.
We build:
We want to make Figma, FigJam & Community platform even better, including, Friends of Figma.
Price?
No plans to change pricing — free plans, pricing, free edu.
Just added "God rays" to the gradients section of my
@figma
plugin. Check it out here:
Other improvements:
🌈 Better color picker
🕸️ Experimental web embed — find it under the ... menu and "Embed code"

Am beyond excited to announce

— A transformation of work ✨
We’ve been working on it for a year and can’t wait to release it to the public this spring 🤗

Have you ever thought that the reason for designers wanting to retire to a farm is because so much of our life's work is ethereal?
So much of the work I did 10 years ago has been erased from existence. Perhaps we're looking for a more tangible mark on the world around us.
I’m for the first time in a really long time (8 or so years) in a happy place in my life. After a lot of trauma and loss. I’m super excited about just living and sharing that joy with you all!
