I was rather surprised learning that the figma file is directly linked (in real time) to the code environment. Keep going with these. I have no real interest in developing new widgets, but learning how the sausage is made is very valuable.

More of this! please! :) Well, maybe there's not enough interest in the developer end of Figma, which is understandable as Figma is a design tool. I'm looking into ways of embedding Figma into a website, sort of like the WordPress Customizer but for more modern web technologies like NextJS or Svelte. I picked up some good tips from this video, mostly telling me it's possible but would take some doing. I'm very interested in Figma from the developer's perspective.

Great! Are you planning someday to create a tutorial kind Code for Designers, like how we transfer Figma to a working Html /Css page?

hello!! have you heard of interactive figmaland? im really curious what you think of that! im sure its not worth your time to go over it in a video, but id be extremely stoked if you could take a look at it and maybe do an explainer on how one could make something similar here in the comments!!

I had never realised how this works. Thank you! But what about data security when I use a community widget? Can I use it as a template and save it for myself? What happens if I fill a widget with data? Secure?

Is this widget is necessary to learn for ux UI designer because I'm not familiar with coding please explain.
