Firstly, I absolutely freakin’ love Figma, and the auto-layout feature!
However, as a frontend developer turned “designer”, there’s some features that I think Figma could introduce that would significatnly reduce the cognitive difference between designing in Figma and coding in CSS.
For example, auto-layout comes kinda close to mimicking CSS flex/grids with direction, padding and gap but doesn’t support things like wrapping, content (vs. item) alignment, columns etc. I would love the ability to flag an auto layout as a “flex” or “grid” object and get access to settings that map exactly to the properties that can be defined for those layouts in CSS.
Also, I’m sure it’s been suggested many times… but please add text overflow and line clamping with ellipses support to text objects.
Please and thank you 😉
