Naming layers has been a problem for decades. There are even memes about it. With the advent of AI, we all knew this is a perfect match where AI can help from day one. Happy to see it arrive to Figma now.
- photon_collider 2y agoCSS has had a similar issue with naming classes, which is one reason for how TailwindCSS’s design. I wonder if we’ll see more AI tools for these kinds of use cases.
- coffeebeqn 2y agoAre we about to solve the two hard problems in CS?
- thomasfromcdnjs 2y agoYeah this one is crazy cool, not even a designer, but my figma prototypes are trash to manager after a while, any approximate name is better than my Layer 1231
- josefrichter 2y agoExactly. TBH, I don't understand why there wasn't some auto-naming logic even before AI. Names like "avatar wrapper" or "left column" are not difficult to infer from the layout in many cases. Plus it doesn't need to be anywhere near 100% precise – as you hinted, naming something "layer 1231" is utterly useless anyway.
