My creative take with desk companion.
Smile Buddy is a tiny creature that lives in your browser and reacts to your face in real time — it bounces when you smile, sulks when you don't, and throws confetti when you're on a streak.
Earn points. Level up. Go from Grumpy Gus to Smile Deity.
It's silly. It's science. And it's really hard to stay stressed when a little guy is celebrating your smile with floating hearts. ✨

Figma just dropped Slots, and this is a semi-big deal.
If you've ever detached a component just to customise it, you know the pain. Lost link to the main component. No upstream updates. Design system slowly fractures.
Slots fixes this. Flexible zones inside components where you can add, remove, and rearrange content without detaching.
It means less components inside components inside components inside components...
→ Cards and modals with varying content
→ Nav menus with different item counts
→ Anything you've been creating 15 variants for
This also mirrors how components actually work in code. Engineers build with slots natively. Designers have been faking it. That gap just got smaller.
Rolling out in open beta now.
Slots is such a game-changer! No more painful detaches just to swap content. Design systems are about to get so much cleaner.
