Config 2024: A new opportunity to make great software (Henry Modisett, perplexity.ai)
Today, technological development is outpacing our ability to apply it thoughtfully. While AI gives us the opportunity to reconsider everything from how we work to what solutions we pursue, we have to remember that technology is not useful on its own. It needs to be applied to real problems, wrapped in brand and storytelling, and fit into peoples' lives. How should designers think about AI? How can we embrace all the change and focus on putting valuable software into the world? Henry will share his observations from building Perplexity.
Featuring: Henry Modisett, Head of Design, perplexity.ai

The user experience with Figma would really benefit a lot if it went for a stepper (controlled with the left-click button) instead of a double-sided arrow with the drag interaction for adjusting numerical input such as width, height, and padding values.
This way, designers won’t have to reach for their keyboard or move their mouse to adjust the values, making the experience more user-friendly and less cumbersome for all.
The option can also be provided as an alternative for users who prefer to use drag handles.

this is a talk by someone who doesn't work for figma :)

Perplexity, the company that steals publisher's content (including your small, personal blog) getting a main stage talk at Config? Read the tech news. This company ignores robots.txt and just does whatever they want. 👎
