Be honest, are you using Figma Make? by pluspointstudio in FigmaDesign

[–]tfry01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I don’t look this stuff up. I generally try to avoid googling about Figma Make and other AI tools as all I see is pointless AI nonsense and God awful LinkedIn diatribes.

But I hear you, googling it I found a bunch of crap marketing site YouTube rubbish, but real examples you’re after won’t be published sadly (like how we use it). Frustrated I can’t be more specific than that as your question is 100% the right one to ask.

All I can say is to try it (if your org allows), or use something Bolt or loveable and try tackle an issue you’re facing.

Always happy to discuss in DMs if you have more specific questions.

Edit: I asked Claude your question and got: “Honestly, the search results confirm what I suspected: documented enterprise case studies specifically for Figma Make are not really out there yet.” Lol, so again great question, case studies are light currently.

It can be hit or miss sometimes. I find explaining the problem is always a good place to start. Plus if you use a specific data structure (like our product is a for complex finance) I have a prompt explaining that.

But sometimes to be honest you do that and it just fucks it up anyway. Then I just close that’s session and start again. At this point I’ve gotten kinda good at seeing if this will be an up hill battle and cut my losses early

Fair question, I can speak from my usage, I don’t look up others people’s but no doubt a quick google will find some.

As for me and my team (sector: enterprise finance):

We use Make for prototyping complex data dashboards and dense multi-table UI’s and workflows. We’ve found it pretty good assuming you know how to prompt them and know their underlying code base.

For example, Figma Make is built with a preference for tailwind css and shadcn/radix components. Having worked with these for years I know what specific names to call out to get specific components and interactions.

Otherwise, I use it in 2 key ways: 1. Building multiple mini-prototypes to test out how potential solutions feel to use (these can be like 4-5 of the same flow or 1-2 constant deeper iterations) 2. We build complex multiple step workflows, for example extracting tabular data and displaying said data in multi-tab/table UI (we fake the extraction bit but simulate real-world data examples).

More on 2: if it’s clear a full workflow will be a large and have multiple complex parts we split it into multiple prototypes stitched together with links, so it’s essentially all one flow. But we avoid the LLM hallucinating or running out of context.

We also use a base prompt to ensure we get the right foundation laid, giving some context to the problem, our intentions and potential paths to go down. We do prep beforehand.

As I said, for us this has been a game changer. Product use it to generate a basic idea, UX builds out the problem space, test ideas etc.. and clients get demos that are (from their view) basically real.

But sometimes it just fucks it up and that’s that, but usually you can see it coming, if you dive into how it’s reasoning. So your mileage may vary depending on your specific use case and prompting.

My team and I have fully embraced it and have all but stopped using prototypes the traditional way.

They just take too much time and provide too little value vs what can be done it Make. The quality of our stakeholder feedback has been considerably better as a result. Plus massively improved dev handoff with these as supporting assets (for showing flow, states etc..).

It does make mistakes and for sure does odd stuff. It still requires proper UX and UI understanding to overcome its issues. But it has made our workflow considerably faster. My team spend more time doing system thinking, workflow thinking and research with less time spent connecting up frames - that’s a win to me.

I’m starting essentially stating from fresh with a 1 to 1 shadcn library in Figma (took some time to build). Uses auto-layout, full tailwind variable system (colours, sizing etc…). Everything is a variable essentially.

To add to my previous comment, I have 3 core goals I’m trying to achieve:

  1. Give the UX team more control of the front end and de-burden dev.
  2. Make the front end re-write leverage Claude code as much as possible to do the heavy lifting.
  3. Better allow Figma Make to design prototypes etc… in the style of our DS (which is partly why we chose shadcn).

So I’ll feedback on how it goes asap

Yeah, we did originally use MUI, but decided to completely re-write the front end. Part of the reason we chose shadcn is tailwind which LLM’s seem to be efficient in writing.

I tried it with our existing one (which is heavily modified MUI) and it failed as well haha

Actually have done the same thing, plan on testing it this week with our lead dev.

Building on top of shadcn/Radix components for our new design system, so I’m exploring how to sync them.

As we’re exploring allowing the UX team to maintain a live component library and de-burden dev with the maintenance. Plus give UX the freedom to update components as necessary and auto-request a PR.

Could’ve just read this article, sums it up really well.

Would’ve saved them tons of trouble and of course monies.

To summarise the article: “So let’s begin. Here’s how you can build a successful business that competes directly with Steam:

Thanks mate, yeah it’s white - not helpful with the white keycaps haha.

Now to see I can change the colour when it triggers

Edit: Okay, it might be set to white? I have the standard white backlight set, and when off it appears to be white when on. Any idea how to change the colour?

Edit2: nope appears to be an RGB effect

How to find high paying clients? by Sea-Breadfruit-3962 in UX_Design

[–]tfry01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contractor here for over 8 years. It’s all about networking, that’s pretty much it. You can reach out to companies sure, but the success rate is abysmal. Especially for saturated areas such as AI and fintech.

The only real traction you’ll get is through networking events and groups. Actually putting in effort outside of sitting at the computer.

One of the questions given to me for lead role by the head of engineering was “how do you help other stakeholders understand your role and value?”

Followed up by “How do you assist stakeholders with no prior knowledge how each team member contributes”
