I'm pretty happy with mine, I wanted to have a RR monogram for myself. I try to portrait some of my / or want to characteristics (short, modern but classic, clean)

While grid is awesome, that codepen example is not fallowing a truly a masonry style, it should be more like Pinterest where you don't know how tall are the items beneath them cover the free space that shorter ones leave. With grid creating rows it will leave spaces or you have to stretch the items to the same height. Just different styles, I think the masonry flex solution from Tobias will work great for a feed or waterfall of content.
I've been a big fan of Principle from some time now, is very fast and easy to make advance animations.
This year I was thinking about switching from Sketch to Figma but Principle was holding me back but now with their integration, I have all I need.
Figma can do a great basic prototyping solution (like InVision) and that's especially useful for presenting a long flow and keeping Principle for micro-interactions and complex animations.
I do many Design Sprints over the year and by downloading the principle app and running the file on your phone it looks and feels so real, all testers think they're using the real thing. I haven't found another tool that convincing and fast.
Right now just for reviews, I have a personal table just to keep track of my to-dos. Yes, the “ideal look” column can be the image of the original design or what I generally do is make a screenshot after I apply the “advised solution” in the inspector (is mostly about adding or changing some CSS rules).
When I'm not implementing my designs I do Design reviews where I document anything that needs to be fixed on Airtable where I have columns for: title, type (back / front-end), priority, status, assigned person, section, page, view (desktop/mobile), long description, advised solution (mostly CSS code that fixes the problem), current look (screenshot), ideal look (screenshot), days old (days that has passed since).
And its been working great, very clear and faster for both parties to document and fix any problem.
Getting better and better I'm really impressed. Great product!
As a big Principle user this looks amazing! great job. Super interested.
