Add native two-way sync between Figma variables and a design tokens file so changes made in Figma or in code stay aligned automatically. Figma already supports variables through the REST API and Plugin API, which teams use today for custom sync workflows, so built-in syncing would reduce manual reconciliation and plugin dependence.

Unfortunately Figma doesn’t support a lot of the units that can exist natively in code. I don’t know how Figma would handle design tokens using %, rem, vh, vw, etc units which a lot of my code projects use.

Using more design tools that just render with HTML/CSS these days because of this limitation.
