✅ Don’t overcomplicate the process — it’s a product, start small and iterate fast ✅ Have some loose metrics to measure progress — these can be simple but will help get buy-in

✅ Start with the essentials - what is the smallest slice you can deliver to get moving? ✅ Sell the value! Set the narrative around why this will help ✅ Adoption is key. Get some core allies across teams — a successful DS is one that’s actually used!

Prop table on the way! this will lay out the structure of your components and let you see variants, booleans and instance swaps. We'll also show nested components — this will give you an idea of how complex components are constructed. This is all generated automatically 🪄 💫

We've got our first prototype up and running that lets you add any frame from @Figma to your FigMayo site! This will let you add detailed documentation from Figma and attach them to components. All rendered in HTML & CSS - still a bit rough but almost there. @disco_lu

Thanks for all the support so far on Product Hunt! It’s very cool seeing all your @Figma design systems being instantly turned into fully-fledged doc sites like this 👉 app.figmayo.com/sites/4stK4y…

We’re now live on Product Hunt! Shameless request for your support incoming. If you have a Product Hunt account we’d be grateful if you could throw a vote our way. (A jar of mayo will follow in the post 😜) producthunt.com/posts/figmay…

Some updates coming this week! 📄 Notes attached to type and colour styles will now be included. 👁 Boolean properties will be shown on components that have them, with the default setting visible. 🖊 Custom fonts! You can upload these so your typography styles display correctly.
