This Figma template that Meng To prepared for his new free Framer course is nuts. It’s a beautiful work and an excellent resource for playing with Framer’s Figma plugin.
A new design system from Meng To with hundreds of customizable Figma and Framer components and templates. Looks incredible, and the kit is meticulously organized with variables, variants, and adaptive layouts. See also his recent livestream with a discussion around key challenges while building the design system, the experience of using Figma variables and components, and tips for transitioning from Figma to Framer.
The new plugin by Meng To uses AI to upscale up to 8X the original resolution. Perfect for a variety of images including avatars, background images, Midjourney renders, and marketing images. (Interesting that the author heavily relied on ChatGPT 4 to build it.)
Meng To published a set of gorgeous handcrafted 8K wallpapers generated from 3D.
