If you use Auto Layout in @figmadesign, I wanted to quickly share the difference between using Packed & Space Between, which for me, has been one of the most useful and helpful features when building components! ↔️ pic.twitter.com/eDfijFpQdn

(Now that I'm no longer working at Figma I can do this:)

Just a few days ago, I tweeted that Auto Layout needs Styles, and now Pavel Laptev releases a plugin just for that! “The plugin brings an experience of Figma styles to the Auto Layout feature. You can make separate configurations of Auto Layouts, save and load them, lock or change at any time.”
A nice trick to work around some of Auto Layout’s limitations.

“Auto Layout can be added to Frames to create dynamic Frames and Components that respond to the size of their child objects, such as a button that grows with the length of its label. In this video we’ll teach you more advanced Auto Layout techniques to create a flexible card component for a trip planning website.”
A new tutorial from Blush, based on Pablo Stanley’s Figma Crash Course on YouTube. “Learn the basics of Figma’s new Auto Layout and speed up your creative workflow with this awesome feature.”
“In this video, we’ll teach you the basics of using Auto Layout by creating a button from a single text layer.”
“In this video we’ll teach you more advanced Auto Layout techniques to create a navigation menu using the button we created in the previous video.”
Pablo Stanley released the first chapter of his Figma Crash course with five videos on Auto Layout.
A smart hack that can be useful with Auto Layout. (In the last issue, I included a different solution.)
I just found out a @figmadesign trick to create 0 width/height frame. You won’t be able to do this by using Frame (F) tool or by entering 0 as the width/height of your frame. Then how?
