1. I never figured out how to solve the “go back to master selection” problem. On top of that, the icon is not great – I don’t like anything reminding people of firearms – but we couldn’t think of anything else.pic.twitter.com/foyFSJem1p

(As an example, with Auto Layout, our engineers – @kenrickrilee and @willyvvu and @jessieteaa – all made design decisions, and some of them I only became aware of after launch. It was great.)
And now, two codas: One is that I got to use Selection Colors to work for some visuals on my personal book project.pic.twitter.com/RHaU5dkXh1
This wasn’t the most important part of this effort, but I’m not going to lie – it’s pretty awesome to use the tools you helped create. It’s like creating on two different levels at the same time.
Two: Just last week, @nlevin reminded me that what I always thought was the beginning of the project, actually wasn’t.
I forgot that long before I joined Figma, I actually pitched Selection Colors as an external fan/observer. This completely slipped my mind. Here is that Medium (of course) post: https://medium.com/@mwichary/quick-ui-idea-selection-colours-aeedc00d7d70 …pic.twitter.com/FbruxAOnrk
This was the past – what’s the future? I am not sure. Some of you requested Selection Text, and I’m onboard with that, but also I realize it requires quite a bit more thinking.https://twitter.com/andreinegrau/status/1248183000451383296 …
Over time, my guess would be the crosshairs icons are likely to make an appearance in others parts of Figma UI where that feature would be useful. (Which was yet another part of building SC: sketching the future where SC already exists.)
But nothing is set in stone is yet, and none of these are promises in any way. Let’s just use it for a while and see what we learn. And that includes you. Please send @figmadesign your feedback or use the ? menu to file a support ticket. (We read all of them!)
BTW this wasn’t a complete walkthrough of the process, but parts that stood out to me most. Any thoughts or questions? Let me know!
In the meantime, I’ll look at some other ideas put aside long time ago, and see if any of them deserve more attention. :·)
(Credit should also go to @eymlin and @skuwamoto who PM’ed this project, the entire design team at
@figmadesign, and many other people helping with bits and pieces!!!)
