Our @figma.com plugin, GridFlow, is now available to try & buy from the app.
It's the fastest (and funnest) way to design custom grid and masonry layouts in Figma. And, yes, it plays nice with Figma Grid.
Check this getting started vid or just install and try it! youtube.com/watch?v=DMFc...

Dear Google, I know you're not on BSKY (yet), but if you hear me, please, I beg you, stop moving the fk'ng tab search on Chrome. And do yourself a favor, and pick up a copy of the book, Who Moved My Cheese. // end rant.

Screenshot of the back of a new Apple MacBook Pro laptop showing detailed specs.
I finally caved in yesterday and upgraded my laptop. As I work more and more with AI, I was needing more of everything.
I haven’t even taken it out of the box yet. 😅 I can’t wait to start fresh on this one. Let’s go!

Screenshot of Prolific web app highlighting the naming of their new AI feature; "AI Task Builder".
It baffles me how many companies are naming their features "AI Something Something". End users don't care. Name your features based on how it will help someone (value), not what it's built with. If the feature is using AI, still inform your users somehow, just don't include it in the name!

Screenshot of a product website ("Assemble") showing the website footer with a large full-width logo/company name at the bottom.
If you're designing a website, I'm sure it's very tempting to want to display your logo/name full-width in the footer. It's super trendy right now, but I'd find another way to differentiate. There's too many people doing it. Reminds me when all logos used an upside down V instead of an A. #WebDesign

I’m surprised to see anyone new entering this space with @figma.com dominating right now, but could be a feature set play that gets them acquired. techcrunch.com/2025/02/13/p... -

The word "SLOP" written in 3D stylized word art on a dark background.
I'm calling it right now. One of the most popular words of 2025 will be "Slop".
"Slop" refers to hastily produced, formulaic, or low-quality AI-generated content that's created to capitalize on trends or generate engagement, often with little regard for originality or artistic merit.

Screenshot of the latest Disney+ subscriber agreement changes.
Disney’s latest subscriber agreement. Wasn’t this once considered “false advertising?” How are @disneyplushelp.bsky.social (and other streaming services) allowed to include ads in a “no ad” plan!? Talk about quickly losing trust with consumers!

Me: 👀 Sees job post that's a great fit --> ✍️ Spends at least 1hr+ applying --> 💭 Pictures self working for this company --> 🚫 Receives rejection notice 2 days later --> 🎗️ Reminds self that betting on yourself is the best way out --> 💸 Quickly forgets and needs to pay bills --> 🔁 Repeat

This took 10 minutes to make using Claude, GitHub pages, and WebXR. It's not perfect, but to think of something and then jump right into a fully immersive interactive session to start making tweaks is so cool. Loving the future right now.

Screenshot of the search tabs feature in google chrome.
I'm very happy that @googlesearch.bsky.social updated the tab search feature in #Chrome to auto-populate the search field. The previous update disabled this and it required an extra click to search. I live by tab search so this was a big deal for me! #FirstWorldProblems #TheSmallThings

My key takeaways:
++ More remote-friendly sprint methods
++ Improved mapping and storyboard pre-planning exercises to preserve stakeholder and decision-maker times
++ Streamlined scorecard to streamline stakeholder decision making
Maybe a revised Sprint book edition soon?
Screenshot of Miro board for design workshop; Design Sprints in 2025: What you need to know. There are 100 plus cursors floating on the screen.
Great refresher on design sprints and what's new. I attended a workshop circa 2018 in Chicago with @jakeknapp.bsky.social and this masterclass with AJ&Smart and IXDF went over all the improvements for facilitators to make after doing 100+ design sprints.
