DRY (don’t repeat yourself) is a core development principle. Hardcode an email in 3 places on a site, and human error will strike if you need to update it. Plus, it just takes more work. Now you can define reusable data on the Global Root. Think phone numbers, emails, CMS API info, etc.

What do you do when implementing a Figma design that has images that go to the edge of the design and then are cut off? How should this be handled on larger screens? I personally export the non-clipped image and on larger screens show the full image outside of the container.
Figma to WS update: Color vars! 1 Feed it CSS from Figma 2 Suggest the Open Props color groups 3 AI maps colors to palette variables (—gray-12) 4 Human intervention lets you customize the mappings 5 AI maps the color vars to semantic vars by interpreting their usage from the CSS

Figma → Webstudio update: Added support for Local Styles! Including: - Grid template columns based on what it sees - Flex with direction and Craft gap vars - Background colors (on `section`) Also added a CLI and some other helpful tasks 😉
Figma to Webstudio update: Now using OpenAI API in the local script to convert the image to HTML. Then the usual code converts the HTML to Webstudio AST and copies it to the clipboard. Note: I trimmed the video, the API takes longer than that :)
Updated Figma to Webstudio with improved process: - ChatGPT for screenshot to HTML with attributes. - Custom script for HTML to Webstudio AST. ChatGPT is very reliable for the HTML but too inconsistent with the AST. Also added support for: - Alt text - Grid columns - Cards
Working on a Figma to Webstudio ChatGPT prompt. It outputs Craft-compliant* Webstudio AST (format for pasting) It adds: - Components - Existing Tokens (section, container, grid, headings, buttons) - Renames instance labels - Sets box tag like h2 or section *most of the time😉
