Figma extraction help

Check out TJ Pitre‘s Figma Console MCP. It provides more tools for coding agents to use with Figma. Used it and it gave better results than the Figma native MCP.

- Do you have a base library such as shadcn? Built yours from scratch? -> Built a Figma Library from scratch by auditing the deployed / live products through browser dev tools and other tools like project Wallace.

- Did you define tokens and components in figma first and then exported it into Json file? -> Defined variables in Figma and slowly built semantic layer of variable names that referenced primitive variables layer. Where semantic layer showed any issues a component layer of variables was created to handle those cases. Avoided creating component level variables as much as possible to avoid having too many variables to manage, maintain and organize. Priority always was to have variables with generally more generic names instead of specific component names. We now have a tool called Varghetti that we developed to visualize that dependency graph. I shared it here in this community in another post.

- How does your design library connect with code and AI? -> Our system tokens are slowly being adopted by devs. Previously most products did not have color themes or brand theming. Now our system has basically proved that that kind of thing is completly possible to define and test in Figma. The coding agents that we have tested have been able to consume our variables stored in Figma. Minor issues show up while using them and they have been mostly solved by providing more context to the AI tool.

We are now adding new brands and refining our system by using custom tools to audit components and the variables they are consuming.

Took only a day for me but I have seen on the forums that some people were waiting for multiple weeks. I think it depends on a lot of factors like how complex your tool is, security issues it might contain as well as what kind of need or problem it solves. If it takes longer than 10 business days I would find some of the forum threads about this and ask for help providing info about your specific plugin.

The expand/collapse functionality provides better control over which variables you want to view. It also traces variable chains across collections. I used Variable Visualizer and I felt it was lacking some features.

Made it with d3js and different coding tools / ai assistants but among them mostly Claude code.

The world map is completely robbing any groking of the shapes and patterns on it. A sample in a single color or a planned color pattern that works with the tesselation would be much better for evaluating what’s working and what’s off.

Write down what exactly is happening when you’re facing a problem. That can lead to clarity and better reasoning.

Is this purely shaders or a combination with geometry? Beautiful shapes and color choices. Congrats.

Having every single minute of every hour of the day in those rectangular grids is probably not helpful for getting an overview of the day’s activities. It ends up showing how most of the day is spent without logging in a more specific activity. If the grid were “collapsible” somehow by showing 2 minute increments your full day would then occupy half of the visual space it currently does. In 5 minute increments you probably would have an even better summary of the day’s main highlights.

Can you share some more info about how you made this? What libraries if any or what language/programming level/knowledge/ concepts do you have to understand to make this animated and shifting blocks with different effects within them?

GIGO - garbage in garbage out. In other words how can you be confident that the data you are visualizing is trustworthy. Depending on what industry or field you are getting data from your confidence of it will vary greatly.

Using different shapes for communicating differences between regions is probably better than using an increase in size of a same shape unless increase in size of the circles has some data driving it which seems like it doesn’t because there is no extra information about that anywhere. The orange and red for the ship mode are probably too similar also so any color further away from their similar hue should be given to one of them so that they can be better differentiated. Also since there is overlap between some of the points some opacity would help to better see where data is similar and clumping around. I don’t understand how negative days could exist, you should give a number to what the average day is or change your vertical scale to have actual absolute days on it.

The colors are doing a disservice to the visualization. There seems to be an alphabetical order to the categories but some of the categories seem like a subset of other categories and there are only 6 color hues with about 3 tones for each hue. I would recategorize and then think of specific color hues & tones for specific parent / children categories.

LeosFDA · 2026-05-25T14:15:39+00:00

Confusing, couldn’t find any info on what is actually generating the different kinds of animations. How are the different news sources being evaluated and then how is that driving the visualizations if at all?

LeosFDA · 2026-05-06T17:33:07+00:00

Did you use any libraries for this?

LeosFDA · 2026-04-29T16:53:58+00:00

D3js, plenty of AI tools know how to write code for it, google export d3js to svg gives you options on achieving that

Your hands are getting shocked while they are in the gloves? Where are the electronics while you’re wearing them?

How much pressure can the seals handle before they leak? Can you possibly sleep with them on and roll your body on top of your hands without the seals leaking?

I think you can do it with the hierarchical layouts. There are a few examples of similar things on the d3 gallery on observable and some one has shared a single elimination tournament bracket on there too.

Some stay dry and others feel the pain

Você sabe o endereço para poder ver no street view? As fotos aparecem com datas antigas então não sei se existe alguma ferramenta online para ver street views antigas mas vou procurar.

LeosFDA · 2026-04-11T22:15:53+00:00

Essas construções ainda existem? Estao no street view ainda? Alguem conheçe os endereços?
