Femke shows how she organizes her files with covers, project documentation, design states, etc.

Rafal Tomal suggests an interesting way to separate his working files from client previews in Figma.

In the first part, Rogie uses constraints and components to build navigation that scales from mobile to desktop. In the second part, he shows how to use Auto Layout to design flexible grids, hero, and card components that adapt to any browser size.

Joey Banks built this whole kit before some people even watched a keynote! Awesome work and incredibly useful for anyone designing for iOS.

“At Early Stage, we’ll talk to Field about staying patient during the product development process and then transitioning into an insane growth sprint. We’ll also chat about the fundraising process, how he built a team from scratch, and how he took the team remote in the midst of a pandemic, as well as chatting about the product development strategy behind Figma.”

Pavel Laptev shares the experience of using a design system approach in Alteos, including how they use Figma API to share design tokens with code.

Gleb Sabirzyanov shares his starter kit for creating your own design system. It includes inputs, buttons, tags, dropdowns, tabs, type, color, etc. He also wrote a Twitter thread on how he used his Master plugin for building it.

When you don’t use an Auto Layout, a Drop Shadow with blur set to zero may be a nice alternative.
