Spacing - Analyzing The Top Design Systems (Figma Spacing Variables)

[@donniedamato]

Love to see a link to the Airtable data for this. re, rem units: The reason why we opt for rem units for space is because the amount of space between elements is often related to the size of the content. In UI, the size of the content is very heavily influenced by the font size (and other font metrics). When a user updates the font size on their device, we want this relationship to be maintained. Rem is often assumed to be 16px but it is not always 16px because it does depend on the user's device settings.

[@hooniexp]

Thanks Donnie! I really like the way you explained REM units and it’s easier to understand. Definitely pinning it to the top for all to see. :) I also dropped a link to the waitlist in the description above

[@diporko2486]

You took the Spacing analysis to the next level. I really appreciate the hard you put into making this video.

[@SarahAndBoston]

The work you put into these videos is insane! Thank you so much, I'm learning a ton.

[@copaceticobserver]

Thank you! I don't know why but no matter what resource I go through no one ever seems to talk about the different spacing sizes you should use when to use them

[@railpressureflip]

Amazing detail in the videos and super informative! Come back to youtube, the UI / UX design world needs you! 🙌🏼

[@Neptoid]

Cool at 12:45 there is an RGB effect on the like and dislike buttons. How do you do that?

[@Am_ro12]

This video totally pushed all my buttons. Thank you so much for making!

[@The1DAchannel]

Loving these mate! Would love to see you cover even more foundational categories :)

[@hooniexp]

Thank you! I am currently working on covering color next.

[@Smaugthur]

This is what I was looking for! Extremely useful to develop your own criteria

[@SashaNEV]

Great research, thanks a million 😊

[@itsaaronward]

Thanks, Hoonie. This was super interesting and fits perfectly with wanting to build a design system soon. Appreciate you putting this together.

[@agnesszerafin8410]

Your content is so professional and educative, please don't stop.

[@alin4iiks]

Such an insightful analysis! It saves so much time. Thank you for creating that!

[@dannab8069]

Great information! Thank you so much for putting it together, it is really appreciated 🙏🏻 Everything was so clear and on point, will definitely subscribe and look forward to the upcoming videos!

[@happybear4ever]

This was awesome! Would love to see you continue this project.

[@ashikmathewtharakan8146]

I subscribed to your channel jusr yesterday morning after seeing your typography video. I hoped I would find more such topics and when I searched for it, I realised that it was the last video you uploaded and that too one year back. I was a bit sad on not finding more such videos. I was really happy when I got the notification that you had uploaded a new video.This is gold! I really hope I don't have to wait till next year for more such videos. Please keep them coming 🙏

[@hooniexp]

Thanks Ashik! I appreciate the support. I'm currently working on the next video at the moment. :)

[@slingshotpoem520]

Stunning presentation! Thanks a lot for this video.

[@MrHardpx]

Your typography video is my bible when I'm starting a design system, super excited to add this info into my workflow! Thanks!

[@hooniexp]

That's awesome. I'm glad to hear that it helps you with your workflow. Thanks Carlos!

[@acantime]

Thank you so much for this video, they are amazing! Hope to see them more in the future! 🙏

[@shirleyxie7144]

That's awesome!! ur analysis is so detailed which help me a lot.

[@richardgravecz]

What is advantage to use different nameing then real pixel values? Feels like you have to recount everything or remember visual connections with scale ratios when you design. Also if you want to insert new value between, it will disturb your nameing more then if you would just use pixel values. Am I right or am I missing something? :D

[@beetauri]

i wonder this too. lmk if you find some answers.

[@beetauri]

i guess it's because the values are in rem instead of pixels, so they are scalable

[@JordacheB]

Awesome work man! You should monetize it somehow. Idk… Maybe a website that provide the insights you brought here and in the other videos. Or an ebook that you can release updates within a period.

[@EdmundFaust]

Great comparison 💪🏻✨ Really enjoyed watching it 🙂

[@itzcull]

Seriously good content man, can't wait for you to upload again!

This is such a great resource dude!

[@thecreativeone1489]

Thanks so much Hoonie, I enjoyed your last video which prompt me to be here right now and about to watch this 🎉.

[@Sheinkoko-i1b]

I hope more videos from Hoonie XP. The contents are really helpful.

[@ambitious_taco]

Great info! Nice to have it all broken out and explained succinctly - much better than my own observations and anecdotal thoughts about it!

[@denislavprayerdimov7480]

keep it up bro, we love your content!

[@MahafujHossain-mz8dq]

We need more of this type analysis video❤ I hope we will get more videos like that

[@brianahn0331]

Wow, Hoonie. Great moves, keep it up. Proud of you!

[@ruthgalvin3646]

Such a good video!!. You should make more.

[@victorviegas164]

Keep it up, Hoonie!🚀

[@Underhills]

This ig gold. Thanks for sharing great insight!🏆

[@bellasantini28]

Great work! Thank you for this!

[@IvanProle]

Great work, love it

[@calmmind3160]

great work brother! very neede

[@D4sxysrb]

This is really insightful

[@rodnem]

Thanks a lot for this work!

[@MeikelSteiding]

This was helpful. thank you

[@leogotv]

Great work! Thanks!

[@SimonDeDesigner]

That is extremely useful, thanks for that! Really.

[@yourdan-j3z]

Good content!

[@bengeorge9699]

this is so much great work

[@IStMl]

if your token name is still tied to the actual spacing value, it's not a semantic one. Semantic spacing tokens express a relationship between 2 elements (close, far, distant...)

[@mydesignhq]

Great Content. thank you. Please create more.

[@Greatkfunky]

Great job! Thanks!

[@ytRap007]

thanks very helpful

[@smilli6415]

can you break down other thngs on design systems like typography, colors etc thanks

[@federitossa]

This is priceless! Thanks a lot

[@uswa_zd.]

Amazing content!

[@johnnnyfoley]

Thanks Hoonie!

[@SaadAlShiekhAli-sg4dl]

you are the best< thank you so much

[@sayekatchakraborty2552]

Bro your contents are just awesome and full of informative. ❤ Thank you for this type of tutorials. Please, also help us to learn more about UX too

[@SigmaLance3375]

This is brilliant.

[@Towns-n6z]

Btw 16px is most likely the standard because it's the universal accessible font size for all devices and the smallest font that is recommended. As designers, accessibility should always be accounted for.

[@bindass_gamer_ff137]

We are waiting for your next video...

[@Zunguyen13]

Great content! What about corner radius? As I remember they introduced dimension for radii, spacing etc

[@hooniexp]

Thanks Vu! I'm currently working on color, but corner radius / border is on my to-do list.

[@nataivanova]

crazy research! :)

[@ytRap007]

thanks great help

[@rodmm3010]

Legend!

[@kashififtikhar9379]

can you make more videos on DS!!!!

[@tengokhunashvili6343]

thanks

[@nobody-bt7mu]

I've always used 62.5% as a root font size transforming 16px to 10px so that it's not confusing. It's a rather common practice for some developers to do this because it's easier to remember that 10px = 1rem etc.

[@vupham-qd8sp]

Please comeback and make a video about color in Design System please

[@mskaratay2513]

🔥🔥🔥

[@axelhunger]

que pasa que no puedo reproducirlo

[@boukrimohammed]

why this guy have 3.7k followers??????????????????

[@TrickyPasta]

The main issue with T-shirt sizing semantics is that if you end up deciding to add a new spacing token, you'll be stuck with a value like Small-Big and Small-Medium... which creates a giant mess.
