I use this feature DAILY at work, you built something great here. I tend to write in md locally, this makes sharing the work with others easy. Especially to those less plaintext inclined.

One thing I did notice, I can't seem to find a way to set a default codeblock font format. The default font option isn't totally monospaced and so some ascii art looks weird :/

I don't think that has anything to do with your contribution though.

THANK YOU!


Glad you're finding it useful!

Sorry to hear about the font issue. I'm no longer at Google, but going to forward to some friends who still work there (no guarantee anything changes, but we'll see!)



wow, that is quite an eye opener. That's terrible really. It's like a whole country is addicted to sugar drinks and wheat flour (?).

Thanks for sharing

+1 - Shared with my wife, who is also a DPT(Southeastern US) and she agreed with all of these points.


I've finally made it to the $500/month mark! I built https://wolftickets.ai , it is a collection of AI predictions for upcoming UFC fights. The predictions for the future events are private but all past results are public.

I get to keep iterating on new models, new approaches for using gen-ai tech to write better analysis of fights and fighters, along with exploring stats and tendencies that matter.

A good example of the writeups: https://wolftickets.ai/events/ufc-310-pantoja-vs-asakura/139...

This project isn't yet allowing me to retire but I'm passionate about the AIML space and combat sports, I get to explore whatever ideas I find interesting, and get a ton of feedback and ideas from members without having to do advertising.


Chiming in with many others here. When I was 3 my mom would take me into her office on occasional weekends and she managed to get me to memorize enough to open The Print Shop. From there I could print all sorts of dinosaurs and interesting things to a dot matrix printer, and then color as much as I wanted. It connected tech to me as a tool to reach for at a very young age. I definitely would have had a very different route into tech later if I even had one. Thank you all!


I assume via Jupyter Notebook or Lab ( not VS Code running it )


You wouldn’t really be able to tell. Figma is often just a tool for working out designs and building up a design system for your site. That later gets translated to your front end by your devs. Figma itself isn’t a styling library like tailwind, etc.


But are the designs lean or bloated.

If Figma helps building lean designs it's good otherwise not.

Designers tend to put too much useless parts into sites, like unnecessary transparencies and animations.


that's like asking if a pen or keyboard lead to bloat. depends on who's using them.


More like if AI leads to spam or if guns kill people.

The latter one is harder if you only have a knife instead of an assault rifle.


No it’s more like, does vscode lead to better code than jetbrains? Figma doesn’t really provide meaningful constraints on a design that would let you identify it as Figma sourced, much as you won’t be able to tell whether a site was written in a particular IDE.


You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Figma is. Your question would be better answered if you took some time to look at figma, rather than looking at the designs people create with figma.


So tell me why the UX in the web gets worse if all these tools and framework make the DX better?

On mobile I have a limited data plan and the speed isn't always the best and on many pages I have to wait because beside the ads I have to download 3, 5, 10 or even more MB of data just to get pages where button, links and headline are undistinguishable because of recent design decisions.

Seems to me these tools are worthless in the end, if you are a user. After bootstrap it went pretty much downhill.


It's good with SVGs, themes, grouping elements into reusable components from your design system, and doing an art board per screen together so you can get an idea of your workflow through the app.

Not great at animations, not great at fully exploding all of the app state. Overall pretty good middle ground for designers and devs to interact.


If a designer uses ‘unnecessary’ transparencies and animations just because a design tool makes those things easy, that is not a problem with the design tool.


If a tool makes something bad easy it is partially responsible.
