Just FYI Figma released "dev mode" yesterday with Compose support apparently.

Android docs were also updated with some info about it? Not sure if "relay" is evolving into dev mode or something else. https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/tooling/relay/figma-devmode

IIUC, if you are a Figma plugin author, you can have your plugin adjust to dev mode; i.e., your plugin can have features specific to Figma Dev Mode. So my reading of the Relay doc update is that "Figma released a Dev Mode and we updated our plugin to take advantage of this"

I don't see Relay evolving into Dev Mode or the other way around. I tried DevMode and while useful in little ways; it is way off from being a revolution.

For example, the Figma designs provided by my designer have custom typography styles (like "BodyL, BodyS " etc). When I click on any text in the design, the "Inspect" tab in Figma was able to show what custom style is being applied to it. However in DevMode, the compose code that it shows does not understand TextStyles. Instead it just passes in fontSize, fontFamily, fontWeight and so on to each Text composable.

Yeah, we noticed the same thing

Probably worth giving that feedback directly to Figma
