The new @figma.com apps are cool, but can I just get percentage based widths and heights for auto-layout?
Also, why doesn’t the Grid layout support min and max widths?

Attended Config this year. It was well run, and the Figma announcements were interesting. The rest of the talks felt a little chaotic, but the Severance Production Designer talk was interesting and fun— tapping into my film school days. #config2025

I built Montessori bookshelves to foster and support my son’s love of books.
(A side benefit is that we can better track all the library books!)

Dear website and software people, stop disabling form buttons.
Showing a validation error message is 99% better than trying to figure out how to enable the button.

“Computer literacy is really a euphemism for forcing human beings to stretch their thinking to understand the inner workings of application logic, rather than having software-enabled products stretch to meet people’s usual ways of thinking.” - Alan Cooper
You are not "too old," you don't "just not get it." Things have stopped being made intuitively by default. You are the victim, you are being gaslit into believing you are deficient when using software made by companies that have failed you.

Reminds me of days biking through NYC's Chinatown on my way to work. An adrenaline rush is a great way to start the day 😵🤘
