Hey everyone 👋 zeroheight is a product that makes it easy to keep all your design system documentation in one place, synced with Sketch, code... and now Figma! The benefit of using zeroheight for design system documentation vs simply documenting components in Figma is that you can: • create a beautiful, customizable living styleguide to showcase your design system • document design decisions and code in the same place easily • write sophisticated documentation using a rich-text editor that can embed content from 3rd party tools (YouTube, Drive, CodePen etc.) Since we launched on PH six months ago, integration with Figma has been our most highly requested feature. Thanks to the Figma API and support from the Figma team, we're excited to be able to offer zeroheight to the growing population of Figmates 😊 Looking forward to chatting with you all throughout the day – let us know what you think below!

@j_delafargue Great app! One issue/feature request: any idea how to demonstrate what links look like, seems the underline and colour from Figma isn't applied to the typography in Zeroheight?
Jerome

Hey @daniel_caine2, that's because I believe Figma styles don't include colour as part of the saved style (unlike Sketch does) - does that make sense?
Jerome
Maker
@daniel_caine2 re underline - that should now be fixed!
Daniel Caine
@getjerome Great stuff Jerome. We parked our design system task at work but I'll be looking at it over the next few weeks. And yeah that does make sense! It would be good if somehow you could apply that colour inside Zeroheight, based on colours you've added to ZH - if that makes sense?

Been waiting for this. Thanks for building it! Our team will start using it this week.

Really nice design, I like the videos playing in the background

This is actually an incredibly needed software for my product team. Just tried out with our design system, and everything was very smooth and fast. Connected, created pages, inserted components, added description here and there, and instantly shared with teammates. We'll definitely try it out in our product development process. Thanks for building it! ❤️

@govorukhin Thanks Stanislav! We worked hard on the onboarding flow so it's really awesome to hear that it worked well for you 😊Don't hesitate to share feedback when you try it out!

Looking for such a tool! I can focus on building the system and not its documentation. Once our team grows bigger, I will give it a shot for sure.

Vincent Tang
It would be nice if you could fork over the base example, or a blog/doc indicating how to upload styles/assets from figma/sketch

Loved using Zeroheight with Sketch last year and was very sad to lose it when I made the move to Figma. Super excited to have it back now!

We've been using this product for some time now, really awesome. Feels good alot of features being rolled out and makes it easy to set out a guide within the company.

We currently use React styleguidist which auto-generates an entire Styleguide from a react project directory. Are there any plans to automate the addition / editing of components and their documentation when a component library gets updated, or will things always have to be manually curated?
Jerome
Maker
@axel_norvell Hey Alex! You can currently embed React styleguidist directly into zeroheight styleguides: which means that any changes in your Styleguidist component are automatically reflected in zeroheight Does that work for your use case?
Lyric Peate
Hey @j_delafargue does Zeroheight support Markdown?
Jerome

Hey @lyric_peate! Not yet but it's something we plan to add later
