Antonija! We're so happy to see you re-exploring Zeplin and are happy to be featured here. 🫶 Sorry for the trouble you had during export! Sadly, there’s a limitation with Figma plugins - you need to keep the Figma window in focus for the plugin to continue exporting. 😩 We’re looking at how we can improve this!
These hiccups were not so horrible, and every next import was faster. You're doing a good job. I have some feedback regarding the Zeplin interface, if you’re interested, I can shoot you an email.
I looove it!!!! I am just starting out in UI Design and just blew my mind not being able to enter to dev mode. And freak out. And then found you and your channel. Aaaand now everything's on track again. Phew! :) Thanks a lot for this insightful video. Means a lot to me, made my day brighter. Cheers from Spain!
Zeppelin is cool but isn't it much easier to create a local copy of the figma file to your drafts? You can check all the margins, sizes etc without the need for devmode. Sure you don't get the updates but when there's an update you need to check, just do the same again.
Well it's a way to go for some people. My team really needs something easy, without too much overhead for me as a designer. For now, for us, Zeplin is the way to go.
@@v3rdde By just using figma? If you copy a figma file to your drafts, you have total control over it. You can click on elements, use alt + hover to see margins etc, see colours. You don't need dev mode. It's cool but it's not ground breaking.
I'm a bit frustrated with their pricing for Dev mode, it would be okay if they charge extra 6$ per seat for a dev mode, but 25 is crazy. In addition to it, they keep saying "coming soon" for a plan where copywriters can just edit texts in designs :) Well played, Figma
@@antonijapek that is one of the basic features for tools that are specifically for "DEVELOPING PRODUCTS", still have no idea why they removed it from the free version at all. I understand that a canceled agreement with Adobe might be a financial shock for them, but cmon, you gonna lose those small teams to Sketch or other tools.
Yeah but you have to click on those elements multiple times, that's not very convenient. Plus you can unintentionally make changes in mockup when using designer mode
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I am not able to get the sizes and properties of objects, for example I'm not able to get the font-size, font-weight etc. given to a text.
@@tundejames_20 get in design mode (not developer) .. click text you want to ispect and on the right you will have properties panel with all the info.. assuming you are in the view only, if you have edit permission then you have to look all of it individually..
FIGMA IS SO GREEEEEDY LATELY. The adobe deal didn't move forward but they learned the behaviour.
Orrrrrr they suddenly realised that they have to figure out how to make more money because they lost the potential investment from the acquisition. 😢
@@MubarakMarafa well we are just moving to sketch, we are too small to risk being hostage.

Next thing they'll start charging for is going to be viewer access…
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, but I wouldn’t be surprised

"without the need for devmode" how ?

Totally agree. Also, basic inspection should be a part of the tool without extra pay, but that's just me 🤷♀️

Thank you for making this, Antonjia! You just saved me a massive headache!
Thank you so much! Its creators like you that deserve all the subscribers. Appreciate all the value you provided in this video. I'm subscribed. ❤❤❤❤
OMG! You saved my life! Thanks!!
Looks like Zeplin also went full greedy, prices are way different than in this video. 15$ per month and you only get 1 project.
You can still measure things in Figma for free, just not in dev mode, use design mode and it will give you sizes and properties of objects.

@@olga_lc ctrl + click and you directly selected wanted object..
Regarding accidental changes , you really can’t make any in view only mode ..

How is it free though?
WOW! Thank you so much!

is it just me or is zeplin now as expensive as figma?
