Just published my first figma plugin, which generates sheets of component requests and updates for your design system team in figma.
If you need to update one request, just select a sheet and open the plugin. Most fields will be prefilled.

I think #apple designers did a great job with the #visionOS #designSystem. Their video talks all about it.
If there's any hints to what visionOS "inspired" means, it'd likely be coming directly from the source.
Here's what they have to say about app icons:
- They react to people interacting with them
- They take on environmental effects
- They have 3D depth with parallax layers
- Each layer is a square image the OS does the circular mask.
@stuffbreaker Is this a "Hot Take"? I thought this was _just the facts_. 
If there is a developer between you and an end user your user is the developer. Make their job easier, bring #a11y to the surface, bring #performance to the surface, bring #usability to the surface by making it such that what is easy is what is right and what is right will serve their use (maybe the end user) in was that they would likely not have done without your #designSystem.
Wanted to share thoughts on some consultancy I did with a developer that wasn't building a #DesignSystem, but consuming one:
