Building a Design System Fast Tip

that was an insane amount of value for only a minute and a half, holy moly

Wow this is fantastic, most of the time design system is the same components but with different styles, this makes things super easy

You should start a series of videos showcasing some plugins that you find useful or ones that have been recommended from the Figma community.

💡 Proposed title: Quickly adapt an existing/prebuilt design system by batch editing styles & attributes by help of plugins

Because the current title "Building a DS Fast Tip" is really vague and untelling. 👍 For an otherwise really good video!
1) "building" is misleading, more true is "modifying" or "adapting".
2) "DS" as an abbreviation for "Design System" is bad in the context of Youtube. It will be buried behind various Nintendo "Dual Screen" videos.

That's actually a very clever solution. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Yeah all these components, are really great for inspiration. But it never truly feels right, when you haven’t put in the work of organizing it all from the start.

well, this is not about building a design system, but about tweaking a existing design system, not bad but wrong title.

[hetalpanchal]

Could you pls let me know all the plugins used for this design system?

[mischugo]

Cool and short presentation. Nice! Could please set up the microphone a bit. You are not really so good to understand. Quiet and too much reverb .... Thanks ;-)

has anyone tried changing back the corner radius from 0 to 8? It won't work for some reasons

[kolyxix]

You are not actually building anything, you are only just tweaking something that was already built
