    Hello! One important update if you're using shortcuts on Windows:
    *Show/Hide Grid: CTRL + SHIFT + 4*

      Daniel, I created wireframes in Figma but when I go to play them in present mode to see what they look like on a mobile device nothing shows up. I don't know what I did wrong.

    Best tutorial ever. I've been searching for hours since I'm new to Figma until I finally popped across your video. And the next hour or so, well quite a few tbh, I followed step by step on exactly how to proceed and even though I've never used Figma, it didn't feel like I was being overwhelmed with the new terminology and the likes. I pretty much was able with to complete the mobile version tutorial without much hiccups. I'm going to try the web version now and hopefully i can pull it off. Thanks a lot. You're a very good tutor.

    Perfect! As a developer with minimal design skills and a bit of comfortability with Figma, using this technique is a happy medium where I don't feel as much pressure to create perfect designs but can still mock up my apps so I'm not flying blind when developing a new project..
