Whatever it is, you can probably do it in

news for UX writers today...

2. Find and replace! Search for and swap out terms and strings across your file.

This is/was a career project. I'm SO proud with where this landed, and truly can't wait for y'all to try it out.
Figma Slides is finally out! I’ve been waiting for this day for a looonng time. It’s the most challenging and fun project I’ve helped design. I couldn’t be more excited for you and your team to try it out.

One lil big thing: The Flides team *heavily* biases towards "build it and see how it feels."
When you spend less time in the hypothetical and more in the interactive, vibes are muchhhh more positive, generative, and motivating.
🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
It feels great to be building things with such positive vibes. It is absolutely doable, don’t let others tell you that toxicity is the only way!

I struggle most with the vagueness between sync and async. Different comms styles, time zones, etc. lead to convos that span days—keeping up with so many dangling threads is what stresses me out most.
Some of this is organizational tbf, but it’s been similar at my last few gigs.

Realllllly can't overstate how much goodness Marcin brings to the world. Check out the latest example of his stellar work—Shift Happens: A book about keyboards.
Buy it y'all 🙏
My book about keyboards, Shift Happens, is now on Kickstarter!
There is all sorts of new information about it, and a video, and what I think are very cool tiers and rewards on top of a very cool book.
Please back and spread the word!

I’m wondering if part of it is reframing the “threads” tab view to something less timeline-oriented. Pinning threads that I care about to the space, adding them to my sidebar, etc.
I keep thinking about

’s Arc - more about personal organization than recency.

You can kind of do it now with an embedded prototype, but we're hoping to make that much, much easier and more direct at some point.

Ooo big yes.
There’s some warping around necessity, too. “Unread” suggests the thing needs to be viewed at all, which… isn’t always true.
I wonder how Slack could better intuit which channels / people / topics I actually care about on my behalf 🤔

Reminder that "LinkedIn News" isn't news, and that LinkedIn is a for-profit company with incentives to drive specific narratives.
Ex: Headline suggests some sort of wave of anti-remote sentiment. Actual article is *one dude* who wrote a book and has opinions.

The best design teams put the same imagination they use in their day-to-day into hiring.
They can envision how to help someone learn and grow vs. expecting they check every single box on the job req.

This is a roughhhh rule of thumb, but… For anything special that gets a Title Case Name, it’s close to 50/50 UXW/marketing. But that’s pretty rare for us—we tend to reserve Name Names for a small handful of features. (1/2)

You can copy/paste 16:9 frames over from Figma Design now, and it should work pretty well.
But let me know if you have another idea! I'm sure there are use cases we haven't accounted for yet :)

Great ideas! Quick thoughts:
- Offline mode is 100% something we want across Figma, but timeline is TBD.
- Not "responsive" per se, but you can view decks in the Figma mobile app now (scaled down 1:1 basically.)
- You can navigate with arrows in both the editor and preso view.

Do you want a truly empty text layer, so that auto-layout shrinks to hug "no" content? Or is this a fixed width text layer?
There's no great way to do the former just yet (soon hopefully). For the latter you could throw some placeholder text in there and set the text fill to 0%
