Hello!

I am part of a team working on a gigantic Ui-Library serving multiple brands and devices (thank you, variables) all within big master-components with a lot variants. And of course our file got very full and complex very fast. We try our best to keep it clustered and everything visualized nicely, but as a user of the library, its just awful to browse. (Zooming out > panning > zooming in > switching pages > landing somewhere close up bc I visited earlier..) ugh. 

My feature request is to give us a new way for handing of library components!
No, the lib view/selection dialog in the other files is just working If one exactly knows what to look out for..
→ I am more thinking of something like the Material Design website. A place where components are organized wiki-like, have a lot of descriptive things going on (do’s, donts’, motion..) and are sometimes interactable. Of course I can take-away the component (or put it into a “cart” to continue browsing for now..)

→ In addition to of page-by-page exploration, a decision-tree-search could be offered to suggest a component tailored to the need of the visitor

→ Speaking of interactable, the “explore component-behavior” in DEV Mode is such a nice feature that could be an essential part of this

→ Not sure If this would be a new Figma Tool, or can be part of Figma Design.

 

I hope you get the gist. Let me know what you think!
