Can you explain the challenges in standardizing this? I don't mean to say it's simple, but curious which parts were easy to standardize and which part are most contentious.
I appreciate the standardization efforts here so thanks! So I've been working on an accessible color palette creation tool (https://inclusivecolors.com/ https://inclusivecolors.com/) and wanted to add export formats that were easy to import into other tools.
For Figma, amazingly there doesn't seem to be any official/standard way to import variables yet, and instead lots of semi working/broken/abandoned import plugins that support different formats. I ended up adding DTCG, Style Dictionary, and CSS export so the user had some options to try different Figma plugins.
It would have been great if there was a single well supported format that was reliable to use here, instead of having to code several export formats that are all roughly the same. Do you know if Figma will adopt DTCG?
