wish there was a Figma plugin

Informative and fun watch. Really love all your videos. Want more from you.

i can't be the only one who believe the one on the left is much better looking

the css beta does not load!!

i love you bro

If you're looking to DIY your spacing, a good starting point is between 120% and 145% of the point size of your chosen font. Formula: pointSize x 1.45 = Line Spacing Example: 12 x 1.45 = 15

Hi, love your content, you are amazing, thank you so much for it, i use every one of them, i also like using “commas” 😅 Question. Is it mandatory to creat the site inside your liftkit compared to just copying elements from it? I have found that some text wrappers dont work if i copy. Thank you!

yes and no. the example on 07:13 looks "nicer" on the right but there is a very strong case, especially and specifically in relation to tabular information, the one of the left is preferred and better, especially if there are more rows. a blend between left and right would be perfect

waiting for part 2 👁👁

Am I getting toppled here or maybe it's a meme as I find the left side on 1:00 much more satisfying to look at, and then the video goes into trying to justify how the crampedness makes it better. 😔 I am definitely not a designer so my concept of spacing is totally warped but it's horrifying how far gone I am

Man, please please for gods sake upload more content! ❤❤

5:18 😂

A friendly reminder to link the original video to this and other shorts

But what if you going with the double subduktion?

the problem is that some developers genuinly don't believe in the objectivity of UX. they will come at you and say something like "oh, you don't like this workflow but someone else might" and i'm like "no, stfu, this is just shit. the people who enjoy that might have an incredible attention span and a lot of patience, or maybe they are just masochists, or they lack a sense for how draining this is, but that doesn't justify the complete lack of a good workflow"

Great video! Very informative, and I didn't know about color systems, only color palletes. I'm sure this channel'll do great.

What a nice and original way of explaining color and it's uses, thanks y'all, i really do appreciatte it.

you have to show all the negative deacriptions im dying

The "better" example at 0:58 is unbalanced. This is not a method a UI designer would recommend. Viewing these cards from a micro perspective is the mistake. Viewing the document as a whole would reveal there's not enough padding within the card. And more spacing on the y-axis than on the x-axis is almost always preferable. Other than that, excellent video.

9:06 what if the seed colour is red 😅

i love this video. it’s so nice to get input from other designers.

Hey Chainlift, I know you mentioned spacing is relative and not fixed however as a UI designer who simply works on figma, how would I communicate these values to a developer (who isnt using webflow). Is there a way you can still provide spacing values in pixels (on your figma kit) to which it can be translated to ems? Perhaps using 16px as the base reference? Thanks!

Mac uses a very subtle wallpaper color-tinted background on the content pane in Finder or System Settings. 3rd party apps can use this feature too.

Awesome video, awesome Figma kit, v informative channel.

that intro animation was so sick

Your videos and tool kits are just too good 🤯🤯🤯🤯

At the beginning, the left one seemed better to me, should I be worried?

It’s been four months, I was concerned 😅

"If something can mean anything, then it really doesn't mean anything at all." Everyone knows redefining a word to mean anything destroys that word, but it's funny that people can admit common sense observations in a context like interface design that they will deny in other contexts, like gender.

I’m not a UI designer, more of a dataviz person, but I find your videos fascinating and instructive for things about the visual presentation of information generally.

Interesting

Nice content as usual 👌

As someone who dreams to design a graphical programming language similar to DRAKON and a full IDE for it with editor and compiler, I'm more interested in general design principles that you talk about in this video and less interested in specific instruments that you can use only for building a website. So I wish you will talk more about general principles in your future videos and I will enjoy it. But the choice is yours.

I have a question for you. What did you use to create this video? I really enjoyed your lesson in spacing, so thank you!

Hi ! Just a simple question about your kit. I put on primary color generator #FCC4C5 and secondary #224F55, for example then it generate all the colors. Put when i go in webflow variables, the light__primary_clv and light__secondary_clv are not the same as the color i indicate in the generator (HEX are different) I dont find my HEX in any variable. Color are close, i agree, and it's should be for better contrast and ratio, but not the same. So for example, if the color of my client are #FCC4C5 and #224F55 for the light version, what am i suppose to write in the generator to have theses colors in the light_primary/ light_secondary ? Thanks for the value of your content !

What tool are you using to create this visual presentation? Can't imagine you animated the annotations and everything with After Effects :o

Which one is your Patreon Channel? It definitely something worth to pay !

My first time watching your content, I'm not sure what kind of channel you are leaning toward but hopefully, it will be purely educational. I don't comment much, but the way you explain and teach is obvious and to the point. Not to mention how well the video was designed!!! Totally subscribe!!!

How do you approach this method in Figma? As far as I know, em units aren't currently supported in Figma. Considering all margins are based off the size of its parent container there doesn't seem to be a simple and effective way using variables to implement this.

Literally the best video I ever watched, I've been looking for something like this for months!!! If you release a course this useful, I would get it 100%

Very interesting and nicely explained!

Thanks for reaffirming that i didnt just pull that "1.618" out of thin air

Is this written in the spec?

YES, MORE MORE MORE I WANT ALL OF THE DESIGN THEORIES

Boo! Started out very strong, but at 1:00 , the slightly more space on top feels better. Artistically aesthetically and in real life physics, like building a structure... here is the key word - structure. Be careful assuming things matter-of-fact.
