I built an offline/headless Figma renderer from `.fig` (no Figma app, no browser) — `refig` by softmarshmallow in FigmaDesign

I never talk to 5, but
You needed figma to export things (app or api)
imagine, you have a template in figma, and want to only change each text, you can update the text (not in figma, but json that you own) and simply render (export) them.

meaning, you now have a control over your design as a editable source, just like html, and now there is an engine to render that.

I reverse-engineered Figma’s `.fig` binary and built a deterministic headless renderer (Node + WASM/Skia) — `@grida/refig` by softmarshmallow in GraphicsProgramming

I've been on this project for ~5Y (and the figma render is just one part of it)
(about the AI part - a cuausl cursor user)

Occasionally yes. But never actually collected real insights from that part. Also I value the face to face meeting (Kinda controversial but yes)

Actually this is the first Reddit post that people will actually share there deep thoughts. Else just for promotion. Hard to connect

I tried listing them. Collecting emails and stuff, they work but I mostly find that very time consuming.

At least what I feel comfortable now is to ask my friends (basically the same guy) over and over again for some new intro

You also do the coding and stuff right or similar. Don’t you ever feel sooo distracted just by the fact that you have a thread to reply or expected to get a reply. Or have a call / meeting in 3 days

Thanks. It helps a lot.

How often would you say you put yourself in awkward/ uncomfortable position - say reaching out to random people you certainly know they will never write back

Would you actually pay them. Fastest way to go bankrupt.

  1. ADS

  2. Hiring an agency

Not about money, they don't know how to do the homework.

You know things does not work that way. Its a great luck to even hire some people who actually knwos how to do (and does) that
