For people who found the unified design system announcement exciting, we would love to hear your hopes and dreams for it are! we have our convictions and plans but always great to hear from folks what is most important!
so I work on design systems at figma now and this is what I’ve been helping build! a dedicated home to bring all things design systems (design, code, and guidelines) into one place. just a preview today so stay tuned!

once again, you just need visualize your solutions, perhaps on a multiplayer canvas

People need to stop taking to agents and touch Figma once in a while

thank you whoever at github fixed this so i don't have to wrap the video link in a html tag just to put it into a table
Replying to @mamuso @brian_lovin
would love for videos to be more easily put into tables too! right now the only way is to use a <video> tag

sometimes all you need is a space to visualize your thinking beyond just words
Over the past few weeks I've been spending a lot of time in Figma, working on the next phase of Playbit. Using robots for writing code, Figma feels like the perfect "grounding truth" for software. In many ways it beats plan & design docs. I just tell the bots (in their AGENTS.md) to look in Figma as well as my docs. Then, as they go along with their various tasks they look for guidance in my Figma doc, and I just keep working in Figma. Sometimes I ask a bot to add a page with a GUI sketch (some UI state that's missing) or to draw me a schematic of some mechanism of the implementation. It would be fascinating to see Figma take a more general step towards software making. Imagine Notion but instead of text it's a high-fidelity 2D canvas.
