#Figma Components

[vaporevon]

i just got dropped into a major new client UI project while the other designer is on vacation for 3 weeks. i decided not to take end of year pto because i thought i could just fuck around and do nothing like every year. i actually have to work on something important. by myself. what the fuck

[yawpyawp]

why would i ever need a partner who ‘gets’ me when i have figma components?

[deskraven]

《Keep On》 - but with the Terrans!

This is a recreation of Digimon Adventure's ending scene with Earthspark characters :)

As a cross-fandom fan I've wanted to do this for a good while and eventually started working on the project in December, 2024. While it's not perfect and a lot of pieces are still missing, I decided that it's good enough for now and it's time to just post it. Also, this is actually for an International Children's Day (June 1) Chinese fandom event.

Details under the cut

OG Video

Tools I used

Art: Procreate

Animation: Figma (most of the complicated ones), Python (for creating gifs of simple animations), DaVinci Resolve (for putting the whole video together)

Components of the video

00:00 - 00:36

The first sequence is just the main character's silly faces, which is the most fun part to draw! And they already look adorable even without the rest of the video or any music.

I also need to create the flipping effects, which I initially attempted to do with Figma but realized that flipping 8 images at once overloads the tool and makes its animation laggy. I need them to all flip in sync, so this part is actually done with a Python script.

Compared to the OG video, the middle row is missing. I initially planned to draw the human Maltos but unfortunately ran out of time.

00:36 - 00:51

The second sequence provides an overview of 1) locations in the show, 2) side characters of the show, 3) iconic items that belong to the main characters.

For the locations, I took screenshots and edited them into having anime vibes:

Also had to distort the side characters' images so they follow a tilted route. The distortion part is also done with a Python script.

I initially planned to draw the following items for the Terrans but ran out of time:

Swords and housework star stickers for Twitch

Shield and balls for Thrash

Inventions (smart trainer / hologram projector) for Nightshade

Tablet and the director's viewfinder for Hashtag

Dinobot comics & dinosaur fossils for Jawbreaker

Contaminated energon cans for Aftermath

Cyber Slayer for Spitfire

Yeah the items for the Chaos Terrns are pretty cursed lmao, but I honestly can't think of anything else that are iconically theirs.

00:51 - 1:17 Roll out!

In the OG video this part is the main characters rolling out with their Digimon partners. For the Terrans, of course they will be rolling out with their mentor-ish counterparts. (I'm so sorry that Bumblebee wasn't included. You are the best mentor. But like, you are the shared mentor so it's kind hard to point to one Terran and declare you their specific mentor.)

At this point you probably already realized that the only characters that I do not run out of time for are the Terrans. And yeh, once again I run out of time for the Mentors and had to use low resolution stock images, screenshots, and even very inaccurate toy images.

I struggled to decide whether Starscream should stand by Hashtag or Spitfire, but Spitfire really doesn't have anyone besides Starscream so it had to be this way, which is again pretty cursed.

1:17 - 1:31

Turns out I do run out of time even for the Terrans! I was initially planning to draw the "everyone running towards the silver lining" scene but kinda suck at drawing animation. So have some Terrans dancing.

1:31 - 1:42

Hesitated between drawing "Terratronus getting armored up, each armor piece representing one Terrans" - which would be a perfect way to represent the ending of S3! But it'll probably look weird with a horizontal frame so I eventually just drew a traditional family photo.

[izicodes]

After taking a "blog break," I’m excited to start sharing some of the projects I’ve been working on during my time away! One of the highlights is a custom widget I created for Notion—a photocard featuring my favorite band, PLAVE. This widget is perfect for fellow PLAVE fans (Plli), allowing them to display a "fanmade" photocard of their favorite band members right on their Notion pages.

I began this project not only to celebrate my love for PLAVE but also to dive deeper into the world of Notion widgets and explore what’s possible.

Let’s dive into the details of how I built it and the creative process behind it!

I started this project back in May, right after I discovered PLAVE in April! Around that time, I started following a 'photocard editor' on Twitter who creates these fantastic 'unofficial' collectible photocards of PLAVE. I fell in love with her edits immediately. I was also using Notion extensively to keep my Korean studies organized, so I thought, why not combine my passion for Korean learning with my love for PLAVE?

I wanted to create a public widget that other PLAVE fans could easily add into their own Notion pages. To be respectful and ensure proper credit, I reached out to the editor, Jane, to ask if I could use her edits in my widget. I explained my project idea and shared some Figma wireframes to show how the widget would look and function. Jane was excited about the concept and gave me her blessing to move forward. I didn’t start any programming until I had her approval!

For this project, I needed to create two main components: the widget itself and a webpage with information and installation instructions. Surprisingly, the info and installation page turned out to be more challenging than developing the widget! I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so I wanted to ensure the page was user-friendly, responsive, and easy to navigate. It was tougher than I wished for!

As for the widget, it was relatively straightforward to develop and only took me about two days. However, I did face some issues with broken links that I still need to fix, and I’m not quite sure why they’re not working. Usually, I’m a ReactJS enthusiast, but since this was a smaller project, I decided to use my "beginner combo": HTML, CSS (including SCSS), and JavaScript. I quickly realized how accustomed I’ve become to ReactJS because I kept writing code that didn’t work in Vanilla JavaScript—talk about a wake-up call!

In the end, I completed the project to a point where it was ready to present to both the PLLIs (PLAVE fans) and Jane. I found myself eagerly awaiting Jane’s feedback because her artwork was integral to the project. If she wasn’t happy with the outcome, I would have felt the same. Thankfully, she loved it! I officially posted the widget on Twitter/X, and Jane shared it as well. Although most of the users were Korean, reading their translated positive comments made me genuinely happy.

Who knows? Maybe in the future, I’ll work on another PLAVE-themed project. I really enjoyed creating this one!

Feel free to check out the project and try installing the widget on your Notion page:

fyi, it still needs work, I will get to it eventually~~~!

[bugdotpng]

okee my performance eval is in my portal so i wanted to make a little thing i can reference when i'm Going Through It...i'm not putting my worth in my job, trust me, but some of these compliments are just...they're a lot more thoughtful than "she works hard" lol

here's some copy/pasted quotes in no particular order, starting with some project-specific stuff:

Component Libraries: Should You Build Your Own or Use a Prebuilt One?

Component libraries are a vital tool in web application development in maintaining uniform design, shortening the time taken to develop web applications and improving reusability of the code. Some developers find this dilemma; should they create a component library or use an existing one? In addition, they help reduce the struggle while building well-designed and interactive websites because of the availability of animation-oriented UIs such as Accentricity UI among others. Now, let’s get more to the point in order to help you find the right way.

What is a Component Library?

Component libraries are collections of reusable UI elements such as buttons, forms, modals, and more— and are intended to reuse the components across several projects. Such libraries not only guarantee a consistent look of an application but also save time and costs during its implementation because the elements have been already coded. So, there's no need to build components from scratch.

Prebuilt Component Libraries

Prebuilt Component Libraries

Prebuilt component libraries are the ready-made collections of different UI components that are specifically designed and optimized for common use cases that developers can face during development. Some well-known examples include:

Material-UI (MUI):

A library based on React and it follows Google's Material-UI design, MUI allows a comprehensive set of components customization.

Ant Design:

It's an UI design system framework for enterprise-level products, ant design offers built-in themes and a rich set of UI components.

Bootstrap:

It's an widely-used CSS framework that provides basic components and a responsive grid system.

Pros of Prebuilt Libraries :

Rapid Development: Prebuilt libraries save a lot of time of the developers by providing pre-designed reusable components that you can quickly integrate into your project.

Standardized Design: They help ensure a consistent user experience across different screens and features.

Community Support: Many prebuilt libraries come with robust community support, providing a wealth of tutorials, plugins, and enhancements.

Cons of Prebuilt Libraries

Limited Customization: Customizing components to fit your unique design can sometimes be difficult, leading to constraints on flexibility.

Performance Overhead: Many prebuilt libraries come with extra features you may not need, which can bloat your codebase.

Pros And Cons of Prebuilt Libraries

Animation-Centric Libraries: Bringing UIs to Life

In recent years, a new category of libraries has emerged, specifically focused on providing built-in animations and smooth UI transitions. These libraries not only offer pre-designed components but also emphasize adding dynamic, interactive features to web applications.

Here are some popular examples of animation-focused libraries:

Lottie

Category: Animation Integration Library

Lottie:The industry standard for motion design

What it Offers: Lottie allows you to render animations created in Figma or Adobe After Effects as JSON files using the built-in plugins. These animations are then rendered natively on the web, offering high-quality motion without a heavy performance impact.

Why It’s Useful: Lottie is perfect for apps or websites requiring rich, scalable animations that are lightweight. It’s commonly used for logos, loading animations, and subtle UI effects. Unlike other component libraries, it focuses purely on bringing visual design elements from tools like Figma & After Effects into the web environment.

Accentricity UI

Category: Hybrid Component and Animation Library

What it Offers:

 Accentricity UI combines traditional UI components with built-in support for smooth animations and transitions. It offers a wide range of components like buttons, forms, modals, and navigation menus, but with an added layer of predefined animations, making it easier to create interactive, dynamic interfaces.

In addition to these standard components, Accentricity UI provides responsive behaviors and subtle animation effects like hover states, fade-ins, and sliding transitions that enhance user engagement. The library's components are fully customizable, allowing developers to easily adjust animation timings, easing functions, and durations to match the look and feel of their brand, ensuring both visual appeal and performance across devices.

Why It’s Useful:

Think about it, what would be easy for a dev? Making a custom component with tons of animation which the dev has to write from scratch and polish it before the deadline or use a library, where the dev can make use of the library with the built-in support to combine the custom designed elements with smooth animations and transitions offered by the library.  

It’s particularly helpful for developers who want the convenience of a prebuilt library but need polished, built-in animations to enhance user experience without writing complex animation code from scratch.

Framer Motion

Category: Animation-focused Component Library (React)

Framer Motion

What it Offers:

Framer Motion is a powerful library for React that allows you to create fluid animations and micro interactions with minimal effort. It supports interactive features like drag, scroll, and spring-based animations, which makes it ideal for interactive & highly animated UIs. It also provides easy-to-use APIs for gesture-based animations and layout transitions, offering developers extensive control over complex animations while maintaining simplicity in implementation.

Why It’s Useful:

Framer Motion combines the simplicity of component libraries with the flexibility of advanced animation frameworks, making it easy to enhance user interfaces with dynamic visual effects. It’s a great choice for React developers who want to integrate animation without compromising performance or adding significant overhead. With its built-in optimizations for smooth rendering, Framer Motion ensures high-quality animations that enhance both usability and visual appeal.

Should You Use Prebuilt Animation Libraries?

The role of animations is really important in web applications to enhance the UX(user experience), by making interfaces feel more fluid and interactive makes user's remember the website due to its great experience. Since users are constantly getting used to smooth effects, micro-interaction and dynamic feedback, animations are no longer viewed as a good to have feature but are rather considered as a must have feature. Prebuilt animation libraries like Framer Motion and GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) simplify this process by providing powerful, flexible tools that allow developers to integrate complex animations without having to manually manage every aspect of motion or dive deep into animation theory.

Advantages of Animation-Centric Libraries

Advantages of Animation-Centric Libraries

Ease of Use

Prebuilt animation libraries abstract away the complexities of coding animations from scratch. Without manually writing keyframes, easing functions, or browser-optimized transitions, developers can simply use predefined APIs to implement fluid animations. This drastically reduces development time, as many animation details are handled by the library, letting developers focus on building features and interactions rather than tweaking animations for performance or cross-browser compatibility. For example, with a few lines of code, animations can be applied to any UI element, making the development process much more efficient.

Advanced Features

Many animation libraries offer advanced features that go far beyond basic transitions like fade-ins and slide animations. These include timeline control, scroll-triggered animations, physics-based interactions, and even 3D transformations. For instance, timeline control allows developers to create synchronized sequences of animations, which can be used to create smooth, coordinated interactions across multiple elements. Scroll-based animations enhance user engagement by triggering effects as the user scrolls, perfect for parallax websites or content reveal effects. Physics-based animations, such as spring-based drag-and-drop or object bouncing, add natural, realistic movement to interactive elements, elevating the overall experience. Additionally, 3D transformations provide extensive control over how objects rotate, scale, or move in three-dimensional space, something that is cumbersome to achieve with native CSS alone.

Shiina Rikka Figma (#SP-098)

Everything about this figure screams: "I need it", yet I regret the ultimate outcome of purchase. Case and point - know your manufacturers. Tomytec has a line of Figma models but I never decided to purchase more than one for the very reason being that they suck at making figures. Critically acclaimed for their self-build gun model line I can't say the same about their jump to figures. (As a first-time buyer to figures it's a no-brainer to not make the purchase.)

The model herself is very cheaply made and sculpted lazily with joints that merely press into place. Her expressions are about as dull as her weapons' system. Her webbing which holds a number of magazines has a walkie-talkie pouch that will not stay in its socket and falls off regularly. Long story short, everything about her feels incredibly cheap.

When you put the gun together you'll have to use Gorilla Glue to attach SOPMOD. Picking a scope / whether you want the suppressor on permanently feels kind of crazy despite coming with Block II components which ruins the entire purpose of having these attachments in the first place. After these dysfunctions became clear to me I quickly canceled another Tomytec model I had on order. This is one of the worst Figma I currently own. 3.5/10

AI in Frontend Development: How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming UI/UX in 2025 and Beyond

Frontend development is no longer just about staying updated with the latest JavaScript framework or mastering slick animations. The real shift? It’s AI in frontend development a transformation that’s reshaping how we design, build, and optimize digital interfaces.

From wireframing to code generation, what once took hours now takes minutes, thanks to artificial intelligence. Whether you’re focused on UI design, UX optimization, or code implementation, AI is becoming a powerful design partner. Let’s dive into how AI is revolutionizing frontend workflows, tools, and user experiences in 2025.

What Is AI in Frontend Development?

AI in frontend development refers to the use of artificial intelligence to simplify, automate, or enhance the tasks involved in creating user interfaces. It can assist with:

Generating responsive layouts

Writing component code

Improving accessibility

Predicting user behavior

This doesn’t mean developers and designers are being replaced. Instead, AI enhances human creativity, handling the repetitive parts and enabling teams to focus on strategy, storytelling, and innovation.

Best AI Tools for UI/UX Designers Today

There’s a growing wave of intelligent tools designed specifically for UI/UX professionals. These tools help teams build faster and smarter.

Figma AI

Figma now offers built-in AI tools that assist with layout tweaks, accessibility insights, auto-labeling images, and content suggestions — right inside your workflow.

Framer AI

With Framer AI, just describe your layout in plain English (e.g., “Create a SaaS homepage with pricing and testimonials”), and it delivers a fully responsive, ready-to-go design.

Uizard & Galileo

Uizard turns text prompts or sketches into wireframes. Galileo takes it further, generating pixel-perfect UI based on your descriptions — speeding up the designer-to-developer handoff.

These AI UI design tools don’t just boost efficiency, they unlock a new level of creative freedom.

How Do Frontend Developers Use AI in Real Workflows?

For developers, AI is becoming a game changer, especially in simplifying repetitive and structural frontend tasks.

Generative UI

Generative UI enables devs to create layouts or UI components simply by describing them. AI generates the code, whether it’s for dashboards, landing pages, or product grids.

Frontend Design Automation

Today’s smart tools can handle:

Responsive grid systems

Color scheme suggestions

HTML structure from wireframes

CSS and Tailwind class generation

By automating these tasks, developers gain more time to work on logic, experience design, and performance tuning.

How Does AI Improve Accessibility in Frontend Design?

AI for accessibility is one of the most valuable applications in frontend development. It helps teams build interfaces that are inclusive and compliant from the start.

Key features AI supports include:

Contrast checking to catch poor color pairings

Alt text generation for images using context recognition

Keyboard navigation validation to ensure mouse-free usability

Tools like Stark AI for Figma and smart IDE plugins are already making accessibility easier and more accurate.

AI in UI/UX design isn’t just convenient, it’s a step toward a more inclusive digital world.

Using Prompts for AI-Generated UI Design

Prompt-based UI design is rapidly emerging as a go-to method for fast prototyping.

You provide a natural language prompt, and the AI handles the layout or code creation. For example:

“Create a login screen with email, password, and forgot password link.”

“Design a 3-column product grid with hover animations.”

“Build a pricing section with a toggle for monthly/yearly plans.”

By learning basic prompt engineering, designers and devs can go from idea to prototype in minutes.

Top AI UX Design Trends You Should Know

AI UX design trends are evolving fast, and they’re making digital experiences more personal, intuitive, and engaging.

1. Predictive Interfaces

AI anticipates what users need based on behaviour and context, adapting layouts and navigation dynamically.

2. Hyper-Personalization

User interfaces now adjust in real-time — think personalized colour schemes, font sizes, or feature prioritization.

3. Conversational Interfaces

Chatbot-style UIs and voice interactions are on the rise, making apps feel more human and responsive.

These AI-driven experiences go beyond aesthetics, they enhance usability and engagement like never before.

Will AI Replace UI/UX Designers or Developers?

It’s a valid concern, but here’s the truth: AI won’t replace designers or developers.

Why? Because AI lacks what makes us human:

Creativity

Emotional intelligence

Contextual understanding

Brand intuition

What AI does is eliminate the tedious stuff , letting you spend more time on ideation, testing, and crafting user experiences that actually matter.

Real-Life Example: Building a Website with Framer AI

Let’s say you need a personal portfolio website. Here’s how AI makes that easier:

Prompt: “Build a personal portfolio with a hero section, about me, project cards, and a contact form.”

Output: Framer AI instantly generates a layout with sections, styling, and sample content.

You Customize: Update fonts, images, and animations — all in under 30 minutes.

What used to take days can now happen before your next coffee break.

What’s Next for AI in UI/UX and Frontend Design?

AI isn’t slowing down. Here are some exciting areas to keep your eyes on:

Voice-to-UI: Speak your interface, and watch it build itself in real time

AI-assisted A/B testing: Interfaces adjust based on live performance metrics
