  • fidget

    Figma based UI library for nim, with HTML and OpenGL backends.

  • From the Nim programming language commnity, this project is this feature: https://github.com/treeform/fidget

  • penpot

    Penpot: The open-source design tool for design and code collaboration

  • And this M.O. would seem to make zero steps toward recognizing the tedium of their platform:

    "By hovering and clicking around the Figma canvas, you can find and export all the information you need"

    Because "hovering" over every shape or area in a screenful of design content to prospect for hidden goodies, then exporting them one by one, is a great way for developers to acquire a complete rundown of what they need to implement.

    I guess I can't speak for all developers, but I don't want to dick around with an Advent calendar that's masquerading as a design document.

    Meanwhile, has Figma fixed the absurd confusion that it presents in the UI between projects and teams? It seriously confuses those two things right there on the "home" page of your account.

    And finally, for those who don't want to support Adobe's software-rental nonsense, there is an open-source alternative to Figma called Penpot: https://penpot.app
