🟣 TOOOLS #7: MiroMiro, Colir, Griddy Icons, Pomelli, Cognitive Bias Index
|
|
 |
| MiroMiro is Figma's right panel, but on any website. Click elements to tweak colors, type, spacing, shadows, and opacity live, then export the result as clean code or design tokens. V2 turns the old inspector into a full design toolkit, with a Lottie finder that lists every animation on a page, a select-to-export flow that takes "I like how this site looks" to a working component in seconds. A fast way to borrow what works in real-world UI and bring it back into your own projects. |
|
|
 | A gradient builder that bends color across two curves instead of straight lines, with smooth motion presets and a clean Figma round trip. |
 | An open-source icon set built on geometric grids, with 1,600+ icons across line and solid styles and a free Figma starter pack. |
 | Google's AI marketing assistant reads your site to build a brand profile, then generates on-brand social posts, ads, and assets ready to publish. |
 | Jon Yablonski's reference of cognitive biases, each paired with practical strategies for designing around them. |
|
|
| UX COLLECTIVE 📖 ARTICLE The prompt is not an interface Argues that the blinking text prompt has quietly walked the field back to the command line, and that visual and spatial work pays the price. A sharp piece on why interfaces still matter. |
| DIVE CLUB 🎧 PODCAST Rafa Conde on making people feel something with design Retro's design engineer walks through what it takes to design experiences that actually delight. Practical takes on humor in interfaces, the power of motion, and where to spend craft to make the work memorable. |
| UX COLLECTIVE 📖 ARTICLE How to make Claude follow your design system in Figma A working framework for getting an AI agent to actually reach for your tokens and components instead of inventing new ones on every screen. Practical reading for anyone trying to keep AI output on-brand. |
| JAKE ALBAUGH 📖 ARTICLE Argues that as making something look finished gets nearly free, the actual job of design moves earlier: knowing what to build, and why. Required reading at a moment when convincing-looking work ships every day without much thought behind it. |
|
|
| Figma Make adds custom skills so designers can teach AI agents how their team actually works |
| Figma's Config 2026 agenda goes live with 75+ speakers including Grant Sanderson and Holly Herndon |
| Snapseed 4.0 lands with non-destructive editing, batch edits, a new camera, and 30+ free pro tools |
|
|
| A SKILL WORTH BUILDING "Delegation is the new design skill." |
Most designers can describe the work. Fewer can hand it off cleanly to an AI agent. That gap is the next thing worth practicing. |
