Caught up in design systems and operations, trombone fancier, organically curious, free-range raised.
That dry garden rug looks awesome!

Have you tried the Zen browser? So far, it's been a good Arc replacement for me.

That and when they randomly decide to stop, declare victory, and call it a day.

Not yet. But a case study of the approach is coming (soon?)

With multi-brand, the decision layer has to be very robust. But I'm trying to keep the number of semantic tokens for consumption very low. Functional tokens are clearly named with intent/component nodes, and scoped for system use only.

Agreed, semantic = decision. And there are more semantic decisions than just colors. Currently building a system with semantic brand themes sitting above everything, and color modes at a lower level. Exactly what you’re saying, but with modes, for brands.

Ah. Such big sound on that horn.
Still waiting for someone to make a movie that takes place on that snowy night he died back in ‘72.

It’s a bit unfortunate that my long-standing dislike of em-dashes might now come across as an attempt to avoid looking like AI. I’ve simply preferred spaced en-dashes for years, thanks to Erik Spiekermann.

9 male characters vs 2 female. That checks out – and it’s the reason I stopped watching his movies.

The flicker and jitteriness makes this look like a shot by Méliès!

The Snoopy ones have awesome color palettes.

I think of Figma as the tool where decisions visually manifest, regardless of where they’re stored. It’s an essential tool in the stack for designers to make core decisions, and to me, states naturally fit into that workflow.

Then I suppose I wish they had used New York instead. True italics, with their distinct letterforms, would make summaries stand out and be more accessible. And, personally, a touch more refined.

Yes! Inverse that is independent of light/dark mode, right? Working on that for banners with photo backgrounds.

Exactly what I’m doing these days! The plugin is really powerful now in terms of variable creation, but boy, is it finicky!
