- Figma has become a standard for a reason. In the AI era, they're doubling down and trying to focus more on devs too. I don't love everything here, but there's some good changes and I wanted to talk about it

the whole 'the tech industry currently relies on exponential growth, and thats far from over' left the biggest bad taste in my mouth. i am not a figma investor. i do not want them to focus exponential growth. i am a figma user and want to not have my experience any more enshittified than they've done so far recently.
Figma is still missing so many obvious features. I’m a dev first and designer second and Illustrator is such a pain (and pricey). Dumb as hell it’s 2024 and you can’t even paste large images (e.g. full height screenshots of web pages) into Figma raw, without huge compression.
On: "Who thought we would mention C++ in a Figma video", believe it or not a massive portion of Figma's frontend is written in C++ compiled to WASM
Introducing FigmaBalls
When a layperson sees a UI change or even a brand change: 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
When a designer sees a UI change or even a brand change: 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
With the launch of Figma Slides, I think that was an opportunity to rename Figjam to Figma Whiteboard, and "Figma" to Figma UI. So much better naming scheme
Hard coupling your component library is an absolute no in my book. Exporting design tokens to code - yes please, but entire components, no. It’s too much coupling and too complex to be compatible with all devices and mediums (ie PDF or Email will still need to follow the design system, but good luck generating components for those mediums with all their quirks as well as native and web)
Marketing absolutely puts me off a product.
I mean I care about them stripping out old tools for devs to force us to buy dev mode. Like my entire workflow disappeared. Yes than tab for the CSS is gone.
I'd love for them to fix the jank ass reversed order arrays which make up the layer tree - which make things like masking select order backwards.
The workflow tools we'll see - 50% of the designers I've worked with wont adopt them because they (along with management) are happy to continue to let dev fall on the sword for them instead of have any accountability.
I was going to learn figma but I might as well learn an alternative like penpot if they're going to nuke old tools
Plugins can probably solve it. Plugins do have access to everything needed to generate that code.
Figma is now at the next phase of their lifecycle. They’re more likely targeting new market of non-designers and developers. I’m wishing them the best, would love to see the $1B breakup fee in use
Tailwind UI mentioned 🙌 🔥
Even as a dev I love using figma, I was going to go to the watch party for the Config event that my “Friends Of Figma” chapter was holding but ended up not going. Honestly did not expect the update to be this big and I’m pretty hyped for the new UI and the slideshow feature and CodeConnect.
The big thing about exporting as CSS is not that we can use the exact styles but that we can understand the layout from the CSS/dev perspective
Oh look. They shut down the gen AI.
404 media has an article about it.
Great Figma update synopsis !!!
Wow penpot's new UI looks so good
A 25 minute ad read 🙈
hes sponsored by them
If they can push the AI to run in the client, this would make the cost of the AI significantly less for Figma and thus more accessible to devs that just need something to get started with.
I'm really interested in what it would take to get my computer science students and my co-worker's graphic design students to the place where they can use the diff feature in at least a few meaningful projects.
The shock-face thumbnail to get views still works?
They do still yeah.
FYI you can turn off ai content training if you go to admin > settings and scroll to the bottom. I believe they are turning on training on August 15.
The pitch I made in Figma for our startup looked insane, so I'm hyped for Figma Slides. Actually, I'm hyped for all of these changes. Really cool Config this year!
Hearing a developers viewpoint on these things is just what I needed. I've always wondered how the best handovers should look like. I've been using Avocode, Zeplin, Adobe Specs and Figma / dev mode. To me most developers seem a bit distant to Dev mode.
this is only for pro plan not for free plan?
As a developer I only hope that they hide Comments sidebar with new redesign, because I had to write custom CSS for their site to delete that sidebar, because it cover like 1/4 of a screen.
„Who would habe thought we would mention C++ in a Figma Video?“ - Figma is literally written in C++ …
Can anyone point me to a tool that is renamed media file after saving from Twitter?
I prefer Penpot. Not quite as good as Figma but a great FOSS alternative.
There's sooooo much jenk in Figma. I loathe it.
Different amount of rotation on the cursor and rounded edges?! Seriously!? This is what is an improvement for you?
Imo, AI design components is a such a gimmic. You never start with design to begin with. And if you do, you already have some guidelines, that AI generated design will not follow (unless it is specified in library, but it could be janky in most cases). And if I need a specific component, I will create in few minutes. Which would take the same time to fix issues that AI creates. I see it as a tool for dribbblers or for developers to generate quick and easy designs. That being said, I am not sure if I would ever use for client work, as an UI/UX designer.
Figma just invented GUI (git for UI)
So American to not check what product names means in different languages. Might as well call it Smegma 🙈
This guy is a walking infomercial

There were 666 likes on this video. We can't have that, so I liked it. 667 !!
So, Theo does free advertising for companies now? He didn't even consider looking at (and sharing with the viewers) what the designers think about the new changes? Sounds like Theo.
I love this mustache 🥰😋
Fun fact: My girlfriend (yes, a real one) actually uses Figma to create her slides

Nobody uses Flutter
Is AD vaguely disguised as content
We actually don’t need to pull css from Figma if our org has a solid design system in place. We’re not supposed to fetch button sizes if we all agree on one button component with it’s specific props and variations
Ligma 3.0
Ligma is probably better.
Hi
First! (Minus all the only fans bots)
Do I need a subscription?
I just want a dev mode

So that’s why Adobe is so shit, greedy businessman designing for designers
