And the hero experiment for this post is inspired by Apple Wallet's imagery! 🌈

v2.0.0 of figma-export is out with some new features to better support organizations with multiple teams! https://github.com/alexchantastic/figma-export/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Surprisingly (or not), Figma doesn't have a way to let you save local copies of multiple files at once. So today, I'm open sourcing my bulk Figma/FigJam local export CLI tool: https://github.com/alexchantastic/figma-export

Paired with another abstract CSS experiment. Pretty trippy!

Some thoughts on Figma and the future https://www.alexchantastic.com/figma-is-scary

Ever wonder how Next.js, Vite, and others use npm create to scaffold out projects for you? I wrote up post on how it works and how to build your own: https://www.alexchantastic.com/building-an-npm-create-package

Last Alfred workflow for a bit...

Here's one to quickly add timestamped notes to a designated file on your machine: https://github.com/alexchantastic/alfred-note-workflow

I've found this really useful for jotting something down quickly without breaking my flow.

Recently built a landing page to POC Framer. Impressed with how much the tool has changed!

Some things that bugged me a bit:

Defaulting to fixed dimensions vs fit
Necessitating a stack for interactions
Pasting images in a frame fills the frame
Previewing effects is hard

Did you know that Figma drafts are just an "invisible" project? You can actually grab this drafts project ID and access your drafts via Figma's REST API.

Just navigate to your drafts and then search for paginated_files in your network requests.

Forgot that I wrote up a post about authoring CSS in modern JS apps before Labor Day 🤦‍♂️ https://www.alexchantastic.com/modern-css-authoring

Went with a more abstract experiment for the last post. Turned out to be surprisingly calming. 😅

Having full control on these mini-experiments is great because I can make them adaptive and responsive. Peek how it changes when you switch between light/dark mode preferences.

One of my repos just got to 300 stars! 🌟

Nothing huge, but it's always nice to see people using stuff you made.

Now that I've switched over to Neovim full time, I ported over an Alfred workflow to open the selected file or folder in Finder in Neovim.

Just landed Figma Slides support in v1.1.4 of figma-export: https://github.com/alexchantastic/figma-export/releases/tag/v1.1.4

I use picture-in-picture (PIP) a bunch to watch a video while doing something else on my computer.

🧵Here's a quick comparison between PIP players in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari to air out my gripes:

Got a few requests for supporting SSO in figma-export so I just pushed up a new version which now supports providing your Figma auth cookie in lieu of a password.

Check it out: https://github.com/alexchantastic/figma-export

Discovering how much easier it is making Alfred workflows now. So another follow up workflow: opening the current or selected Finder folder in Terminal!

Documented my software/tech/hardware stack in my latest post: https://www.alexchantastic.com/tools-of-the-trade

Nothing mindblowing, but it'll be interesting to see how things change in the next couple years! 🔮

Vercel has always been a really convenient platform to deploy JS apps, but sometimes you're not able to follow their happy path.

Here's how to deploy with the Vercel CLI for those have to go down the unhappy path: https://www.alexchantastic.com/deploying-with-vercel-cli
