The MCP Tool That’s Changing How I Use Figma
The MCP Tool That’s Changing How I Use Figma YouTube video by joeyabanks

This video from @joeyabanks.me shows a pretty compelling use of an MCP in Figma. Legit time savings without outsourcing your problem solving/creativity to a robot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwUC...

The new macOS Finder icon from macOS Tahoe. The blue and black faces are flipped compared to the classic version, with the blue now on the side representing the person instead of the screen.

The new macOS Finder icon from macOS Tahoe. The blue and black faces are flipped compared to the classic version, with the blue now on the side representing the person instead of the screen.

macOS Tahoe reverses the Finder icon for the first time in decades, and I actually don’t *think* it’s something we’ll see changed back.

It used to show someone looking at the Mac. The screen was blue, but now the person is, and it feels like a small but intentional shift in focus toward the user.

That will only be true if we don’t make the entire operating system Control Center.

iOS 26 Liquid Glass Buttons | Figma Hi, all! πŸ‘‹ I practiced recreated Apple’s new iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 button styles using Figma, complete with their new Liquid Glass material. These buttons are fully editable and use native Figma effect...

Just published a recreation of Apple’s Liquid Glass style on the @figma.com Community!

It’s fully editable and built using native Figma effects. Phew, I’ve got a lot to learn about this new style, but this was a really fun one to practice! πŸ€“

My only thought is that it begins to naturally prepare us for a future where we have more augmented reality experiences and devices.

Physicality: the new age of UI There’s a lot of rumors of a big impending UI redesign from Apple. Let’s imagine what’s (or what could be) next for the design of iPhones, Macs and iPads.

An in-depth post from @sdw.bsky.social on the history of iOS’ design evolution, concluding with his own ideas of what might come next in the rumoured Apple ecosystem redesign:
