A few years ago @soffes and I made the first Contrast color checker available as a macOS app. Fast forward to today, while @soffes is out living that van life, I teamed up with @gusso to launch the new plugin for Figma. It's been an absolute blast making this little tool and I hope everyone loves it!
What else do you want to know!?

I can't give @ridderingand high enough praise! He was the first Shift Nudge Design Advisor brought on board over a year ago (and counting) and he is truly a master at his craft. A phenomenal communicator, amazing designer, and just all around an incredibly solid human. You will no doubt love this course. A+++

This was originally only available to Shift Nudge students, but I thought it would make a really valuable resource outside of the course as well.

Howdy PH,
Matt here and I'm really proud to finally release Flowkit 3.0, which now supports Figma, Sketch, and XD.
I'm particularly excited for the new Figma plugin that this release brings. I never would've thought Flowkit would become something more than a static library, but now it's some bonafide software. =)

Howdy!
This is the tool that I've always wanted ever since I learned about and began integrating color contrast accessibility as part of my design process.
It's easy to make the mistake of designing with really light text and not enough contrast, a mistake I made in a lot of my early career. And while there are lots of online tools that provide this same functionality, I always found it...
