       Show HN: Functional UI Kit - twin Figma and React component
       libraries
        
       Hey Hackers! My name is Alex and I've been working on this project
       for the past 8 months with the support of Figma Creator Fund. I'd
       love to hear your thoughts from your experience working with
       designers & component libraries.  I started out in design and later
       got into coding, so I understand both sides really well. I did UX
       Design for 12 years at startups, at my own studio and at Wix, and
       then worked as a front-end dev at Wix for 2 more years.  I've
       noticed a common problem: most component libraries work great for
       devs but not so well for designers.  In my experience working with
       big teams, I've felt this frustration firsthand. Instead of
       focusing on making products, we end up arguing over small details
       and terms.  In Functional UI Kit, each comp has dedicated story in
       Storybook. Copy pasting from Dev Mode in Figma just works, Figma
       variables and CSS variables match, auto Layout is mirroring the
       same box model structure & the CSS architecture shields you from
       style collisions.  It leverages all the latest Figma features to
       the MAX. Including the latest: Annotations, and of course: Dark
       Mode.  I hope you try it and let me know what you think.

       | A ton of corporate-sponsored design systems come close, but those
       | that do (e.g. Shopify Polaris) can't be used on standalone
       | projects.

       | Untitled UI is a great example of what's possible on the Figma
       | side, but only helps if you're targeting Webflow.
