Two big takeaways from this interview with the CEO of #Figma:

  1. Figma’s plan is now to go for IPO. Let the enshittification begin.

  2. Figma is trying to work out how to use customer data to train AI models.

And a bonus takeaway:

  1. The definition of startup must have changed because, despite being a company with ~$600 million ARR, he says “We’re a startup”.

Would anyone be interested in an extension to ux twig components that could import/generate components directly from Figma?

I have been playing with the API lately and this sounds cool to me, but I don't know if anyone else is waiting for this :)

Has anyone here used Figma? What to do when there is no Add Flow Starting Point? Currently I can only have one flow and need multiple.

Just ran into the #Figma dev seat restriction. If I'm understanding correctly, I (dev) would need to ask the separate design agency for a seat in their plan, for access to the previously free inspect feature, which they don't use but I do.

Got a new small Wacom to use with Figma - trying to wean myself from the trackpad for ergonomy sake. Hardware is beautiful, software’s shockingly bad, almost the same as the last time I used it a decade ago.

Once again facing that classic #designsystem conundrum: Theme and/or customize a 3rd party component library, or build one from scratch.

Actually, we need two component libs: A #WebComponent one for web products and a #ReactNative one for iOS & Android apps. We already have designs in #Figma and want to have parity in terms of design & naming across Figma, web & RN.

My gut and past experiences make me lean towards building from scratch.

What would you do and why?

Magnifier is a Figma plugin to create a magnifying effect on part of your design. This is nice for presentations, but also when you create visuals for training or support pages

Current status: Trying to figure out how best to convert #Figma vars with multiple modes into #CSS custom properties.

Je ne connais pas ce fabricant et je me méfie toujours des photos promos, mais en attendant une éventuelle #Figma où la #SHF, cette fig aura sur éveiller ma curiosité ^^

TIL that scroll position/state management has changed in #Figma prototypes. I wondered why the screen wasn’t staying where I scrolled when I didn't have "Reset scroll position" checked.

Now, screens that have a similar name + / will keep the same scroll position.

Example:
"Home/Default” and Home/Expanded” will share scroll position.

“Default” and “Expanded" will not.

wrksart, to design

I'm a big fan of Figma's Dev Mode, which has managed to wipe out all the hand-off solutions from the recent past. Remember Zeplin, anyone?

Just got a sad email that Figma is shifting Dev Mode exclusively to their paid plan. It's a subtle move but quite significant. Our side projects and NGO work intensively used the view-only Figma Dev Mode.

Moving developers to a paid plan is going to hurt. Are we looking at a Zeplin Revival?

I am learning #Figma (my first day) and plan to incorporate it into a Digital Media course where Adobe XD was used previously. Excited to work with it!

BenjMathis1, to UI

I really need to start getting to bed earlier lol, but I'm quite pleased with the progress I was able to make on this tonight.

Tomorrow I'll probably add a few more elements and smooth out some of the remaining rough edges on the mockup.

Emil from Figma & @jerod discuss just how common it is (or isn't) for orgs to have a Design System they can deploy across their software projects.

Does your org have one?

Glad that Adobe didn't get its Figma deal. Ever since Adobe bought TypeKit the UI has become gradually ever more confusing.

Many times I click buttons that take me places I don't want to go, only to need to hit the back button.

Looks like the deal fell through...but don't worry, there will be other takers!

Remember: Figma 365 works best on Edge, Microsoft's Recommended Browser

This is big news. Adobe will no longer be acquiring Figma. No will another company pursue Figma instead? I expect Microsoft, Amazon AWS and others would have a strong interest.
