- Prototyped a little app that allows you to take frames from @figma and 'pull them into space'. The frames stay linked to the canvas and update on any changes
00:00 - Here’s a ‘glow-in-the-dark’ effect achieved by reading the device’s ambient light sensor and partially dimming the UI 💡
00:00 - Made a little hourglass prototype in SwiftUI this weekend ⏳ I started with the idea of using a physical flip interaction to start/reset a timer and iterated from that
00:00 - Tried to recreate the subtle glass material of the Vision Pro interface in SwiftUI. It adapts the reflections to the room's light source. It’s difficult to capture on video but looks really pleasing in person. It’s very subtle but adds some nice texture and depth to the surface.
00:00 - Tried to re-create the new iPhone’s Titanium particle effect last night and made this interactive ‘material sample’ in SwiftUI
00:00 - Published a new @figma plugin "Beautiful Shadows" that explores a different way of creating shadows. Instead of adjusting offsets and blur values, you simply drag a physical light source around (parameterized by azimuth, distance etc.) Check it out ☀️ figma.com/community/plug…
00:00 - Riffed on @ollybromham's Incense timer in SwiftUI. A pinch of gestures, haptics, motion, blurs and particles

00:00- Just published Copy & Rotate, a @figmadesign plugin which allows you to create rotated copies of elements – with preview right in the canvas🙌Copies are componentized, which allows you to make changes to your design anytime. bit.ly/copyrotate
00:00 - excited and proud to share what we've been working on!The latest project I’ve been working on is the design of Liquid Glass, alongside an army of designers and engineers. We're designing it to bend and shape light while feeling like an elastic, flexible material that can dynamically shape shift, to make apps feel fluid and organic.
00:00 - Couldn't resist and had to remix @jmtrivedi's mesh animation and tried to recreate a 'genie effect' using SwiftUI
