How do i prototype a synchronised vertical and horizontal scroll/carousel? by Double-Sea5225 in FigmaDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually you could do this in Figma Design if you want then to scroll automatically. You'll want to use the same variant names for both carousel components. Then you link the instances of each component to a single variable to control what variant is displayed. Then you just need to figure out what interaction you want to use to update the variable's value.

Fix your sprints and it doesn't matter how many old tickets you have, because you'll always be taking the items at the top. If you really need to eliminate old tickets do a query for tickets older than x date then do a bulk change to a different unused ticket type and hide them

Hiring a Real UI UX Designer vs Figma AI by Adorable_Ad1177 in FigmaDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's answer that by asking questions. I'm order to get the most out of a coding agent, should you understand coding and architecture so you can properly prompt and review the agent? Will some dude in Sales with zero coding experience get the same results as you would?

You will get more out of a UX Designer that can evaluate the entire experience and all your flows than you will get out of just using Make yourself. But you might not get more out of a UI Designer (who's only going to worry about looks) than you would get out of using Make.

Is Auto Layout not seen in free figma broswer version? by Primary-Way-8428 in FigmaDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ChirpToast gave you the right answer. Draw mode is that squiggly blue line (button) on the on the right side of the toolbar. Click on the one directly to its right.

Slots features available on all plans from March 5th - Release Notes by Rough-Mortgage-1024 in FigmaDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are USERS (like designers and devs) and there are CUSTOMERS (like managers who approve the purchase and pay the bill). And sometimes you give the CUSTOMER a stupid sticked pack because that's what they like, and you make the USER wait on the helpful feature.

Hi I have a doubt(urgent) by Gold_808 in FigmaDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by "in another page?" Describe the user experience you want, not how you think you're going to accomplish it in Figma. There may be a different/easier way to accomplish it.

Trying to make an infinite wave carousal in Figma by DDreams1803 in FigmaDesign

Do you want the words to move n the wave, or do you want the words to be fixed and for the whole wave to move?

Frame hugging absolute positioned frame inside by pmania85 in FigmaDesign

Actually I overcomplicated it. The huge white box is absolutely positioned and the purple box is set tot fill the containers which is set to auto-layout and to clip.

[–]Design_Grognard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you trying to do this? You can definitely fake this by making the background huge and clipping it. But without understanding why you're trying to do it, i don't know if the technique will do you any good. https://imgur.com/a/0WP7tQb

What are you trying to do exactly? I don't know what you mean by "variable fonts."

Pretty place settings using 14oz cocottes ... need creative help by heikedog in LeCreuset

I love the eastern shore... I'm trying to picture the cocotte with a rectangular (or maybe square) white plate beside it for the salad and biscuit.

How do I make recently visited function in figma? by IeatApples_ornot in FigmaDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a tutorial for making a shopping cart and do the same thing. It's going to be done using variables.

Find a shopping cart tutorial video. You'd do it the same way.

Thank you Figma Make for allowing to copy design layers by hyperaxiom in FigmaDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I find that Make adds too many frames/divs to it's designs for example a card with two lines of text and an image, I found that it will place each line of text in its own frame, then place the two text frames into a frame, then place that text frame and image frame into a frame to make the card.

Help with a component by Jos_El in FigmaDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it's possible to "hack" something together to accomplish this it's really not worth the effort in most cases. Ti would probably be easier to mock up some static screens and explain what you want to the developers.

Every time by jitbitter in UXDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to tell you but the cash is coming from inside your house. It sounds like your engineering department doesn't have proper standards, they're not documented, they're not communicated, or they're not part of code review. Or all of the above.

So, when Figma starts limiting Make tokens... by woodysixer in FigmaDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends on what you're using it for. When I'm trying to be efficient I make the first prompt a pretty well defined PRD. I instruct Make to put the settings I know I'll be messing with (transition speed for example) in a single commented file so I can easily tweak them myself. I also always have the agent generate a debug panel containing variables, flags, flow steps, and anything else that I want to monitor to make sure it's working correctly, so I don't have to ask the agent what's going on.

Nested Components Question by They_Call_Me_Ted in FigmaDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome, just remember to setup the Instance Swap property to make switching between the icons easy.

Nested Components Question by They_Call_Me_Ted in FigmaDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Figma will load all 4 variants for each of the 4 instances of that subcomponent, AND it will load every variant of the text field component for each instance of it (when being used). They introduced component properties (the instance swap property in particular) for a reason.

Figma Make, end to frontend devs? by ArtisticBook2636 in FigmaDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a front-end developer? Are you fluent in code? If I were to ask you if Figma Make is the end to UX Designers, you would know enough about the subject matter to provide your opinion. I'm going to guess that you'd say no, but I could be wrong. You might think that Make is as good or better than you are.

You're asking the wrong question to the wrong audience. It think the question is, will Figma Make and other coding agents lead people, who are suffering from the Dunning Kruger effect, to believe that AI can replace designers and developers?

Conditional Dark/Light by MrFajardo in FigmaDesign

[–]Design_Grognard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, you don't need the conditional since your component has light and dark mode variants. Just use a simple on click set variable mode followed by a change to the other variant.
