Thanks, I can’t wait to showcase it on here. It’s frustrating because I can only work on it on nights and weekends, and my 15 month old daughter doesn’t make that any easier.
I’m incredibly pumped for it, though. It’s almost entirely keyboard driven, kinda like Vim. I’m building this rich set of mnemonic commands to build/design UI components. It’s like Vim + Storybook + WebFlow.
"the problem is that it’s too designer-y for engineers"
Exactly! Numerous times I have wanted to start a new personal project however got stuck in figma designing process. Had no other chance except writing in pure html/css - the only things that still "work" for me unlike those stupid frameworks.
The "problem" is not figma. It is design in general. Everybody are coping each other which makes sense: You cannot copyright a design and also copying is much easier - and looks better - than designing from scratch.
However while designers will definitely think this as a "problem" which would kill creativity, I as an engineer think that it is the path that would happen later if not now. You can't really blame companies if they want to copy other successful designs - it works.

Truly an exaggeration. People really overestimate the danger of C.
"no one would nowadays embark on writing such a large system using C from scratch."
Come on, C is fast. C is not complicated. C has proven that it is reliable in recent 50 years. People don't like C because they can't do anything without their sweet language's garbage collector.
Absolutely agree, bro. Thanks for standing up for C — it's refreshing to see someone else defending it without falling into hype or trends.
You're right: C is simple, is fast, and has stood the test of time. It's not about nostalgia — it's about having the right tool for the job. People often forget how powerful simplicity and full control can be.
Glad to see another dev who appreciates the raw power of C. Respect
All of this algorithmic infinite-scroll tabs in social medias have got the idea from slot machines. Everybody are likely to become addicted to it, So yeah good idea really.
