How might we enhance collaboration between design/dev in Figma

[heyjoethomas]

Been thinking about ways to further bridge the gap between design dev in Figma. The first idea I had was to use the component description to share dev info like Polaris React component name and used props. This information would surface to a developer as they inspect the Figma file given to them from the designer.

Simple example below for the Badge component. A more complex example is the ActionList as it uses an array for the 'sections' prop which can't be easily replicated. It also has children that also have their own props. This is what a dev would see when in the inspect panel.

Wondering what you all think of this idea. Would this be helpful? Too much info? Missing anything that would make it better?

Current talking points/challenges/questions from initial Slack thread:

1. Is just showing the component name enough?
2. How do we keep things up to sync with our other tools so changes are made everywhere and we maintain a single source of truth.
3. What is the most relevant information we could give developers to make it easier to read Figma files and understand how Polaris is being represented?
