Tokens, variables, and styles - Update: Introduction to design systems

[@vindicator2385]

Great video, would love to see more content on managing multi-brand design systems.

[@gbmedia-io]

did you find anything for this?

[@tanneguylvq]

@@gbmedia-io did you ? i'm looking for that too :)

[@camward957]

Amazing. Love that theres a section on migrating colour styles into variables and why that makes sense

[@nerrrrrrrrrrrrrd]

this has been so helpful in helping me convert my work product into two light and dark themes, super organized and efficient, love it!

[@yaragengo824]

One of the best videos ever about the subject! Congrats

[@melboogiedown]

This is wonderful. Thank you so much for this detailed information!

[@vincent-cg7bl]

Very well explained video, but I have a little trouble with the term "invert" which is still too abstract for me. "Invert" yes but for which token? primary or secondary? We invert with respect to what?

[@tomashudolin7197]

But variables are in paid version only, right?

[@MyDigitalHub]

Nice updates

[@shipaleks]

Do you create yet another collection for component specific tokens, or after semantic token you should just arrange it to an elements?

[@psddesignernet]

would love to use the numbers for font size , when is this feature coming ?

[@megaroeny]

Fantastic breakdown!

[@vladimirv.g.1436]

Why the surface/high-contrast surface/background color, is being applied on a button with the worst contrast (visually) ?

[@Paretozen]

Bruh you need a university degree for all this stuff. I love it.

[@tim_sign]

Nice! The only thing i do not understand is why not to combine styles and variables, they kinda are for the same thing

Any ideas / resources on how to make a flexible design tokens that will work for many brands? The top level primitive are tied to 1 brand. How could one easily swap those to quickly create a new brand of primitives

[@kmylodarkstar2253]

what about exporting?

[@Underhills]

Think there's plugins that creates JSON files that in turn can be imported into variable setups. I'm really confused why Figma didn't make this part of the Figma functionality. Right now every variable setup is in principle included in every Figma project, no matter what page or section your on. This messed up my files big time, cause it's not possible to scope the setup and define what pages to assign those variables. It's confusing.

[@DmitriiVolik]

Please, if you have more than 1 video in one playlist - change the music) I really TIRED SO MUCH AAAAAA listen same lofi hip hop more than 30 min( It's killing me and my desire to watch a new video with the same music! You have a great animation in your video, now please think about change the music. Thank you!)

[@designthinkingwithgian]

Or no music would be fine too

[@justinoneill2837]

Really good overview! Curious if anyone has some ideas on how to merge Tailwind with something like this

[@reyesdelpech]

Amazing video! Amazing course. I learned a lot! Wondering if the token system can be solve with a node-base interface? Thanks!

[@anoop4real115]

Great content, do you have a tutorial where the habitz team is generating the client code out of this tokens? That’s what I am mostly interested. Please point to me to the right place if i missed it on the way

[@samduss4193]

this is interesteding but actually make me a bit lost with all this naming thing i guess need a sort of pattern

[@mhewson]

Its exciting to see the adoption of Tokens and variables into design, however these elements should be managed outside of the design tool. tools such as Style dictionary and Theo have existed for the past 7 or more years, it would be great to see an integration that accommodated that as the single source of truth.

[@pradyumnaux]

Woow Great info

[@jpell185]

Great stuff, mostly spot-on, but the inclusion of color names (blue, pink, etc.) in the semantic layer is a no-no, and this video communicates its a yes-yes.

[@REOsama]

This is great

[@embo_5787]

ah these are like defining variables when you code something and the tokens remind me of the way tailwind names thingsfor my typical use cases this seems overly complicated on first glance...

[@sams32111]

Kai Habits scores again

[@brixencph]

How do you document what text color to use with primary/secondary/disabled buttons? It doesn't seem like that is covered in the overview: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKqmnpSZiN53j5Y

[@djashawe88923]

The video content is commendable, but I found it challenging to stay engaged because the audio sounded like someone was simply reading from a script.

[@jef.fm.71]

Because it's a robot. You can do better @Figma 🤖👎

[@Captivateitmedia]

That’s because it IS computer generated..

[@GarrettSaxon]

I find it easier to follow for that exact reason.

[@Atul_25]

Awesome

[@janniklas.design]

nice

[@عبدالرحمنالعاصى-د4ن]

@FerjanyMuhamedali الفيديو ده معمول عن طريق برامج ايه اللى عامله رسومات الجرافيك والمونتاك

[@fernwehtwl]

the habiz design system is too much haha

[@Kararch]

Way too complex. Just for the case of a rebrand^^ good luck.

[@MrConway007]

I'm still not getting the value of design tokens, they seem to me like they are just a repackaged method of tagging global styles to components, but we could already do that with global swatches and type styles anyway 🤔

[@Underhills]

Wish you could scope variables so it doesn't get assigned to ALL pages. It's no way of doing that. Once you made your variable setup your stuck with that on every single page in the Figma space. Can't break the link or exclude them to make another variable set for a different project etc. It's not very flexible or functional.

[@olabander7199]

Please please remove music from videos, it's soooo distracting

[@PeterHerbertBarnaba-p3z]

😵‍💫

[@CiprianGavriliu]

Figma will suck out all the fun & creativity from the design process. It feels that most of the things you are building are too structured / fixed - which will highly influence the transformation of inspiration into the same designs that everybody is creating and using...

[@uiuxshoaib]

Yeah, feel like a lot of work... and I guess making everything dev focused. The bad part, clients and Hr just hear these random words and start adding them as selection criteria.

[@melanieriepl698]

Ui design becomes like coding : (

[@JamesRichman138]

The AI narration was a little rough

[@bradmacdonald6591]

Agree, it's borderline unlistenable

[@mariya18-a]

Ничего не понятно ))

[@MrMorrisonandDean]

I hate that the text is not left aligned 🥲
