Prompt for UI. Grids & CSS. High-density UIs.

Figma’s CEO on his new approach to AI

(Read without a paywall.) The Verge interviews Dylan Field about ​“how he sees AI fitting into Figma after a rough start to integrating the technology last year, the new areas he’s targeting to grow the platform, and more.”

Prompt for UI

Meng To first wrote a comprehensive guide on UI prompting, and now recorded this 44-minute tutorial as well.

Config 2025. Grids. Sites. Draw. Make. Buzz.

After spreading 20 hours of sleep across four nights in San Francisco and on the plane, I slept for 10 hours straight this Saturday. I never quite know how to describe the state I’m in after Config — physically exhausted, emotionally drained, yet my heart is full and I’m buzzing with excitement and optimism after spending three days with the most special community in the world.

Thank you to the readers who introduced themselves and said hi! (And to the one non-reader who came up to me because, apparently, I look like Casey Neistat?!) You proved that this newsletter is not being sent into the void. Huge thanks to Jordan, Anne, Rogie, and all the Figma folks who make being a guest at Config such a special experience. And of course, the biggest thanks to my Configmates — Molly, Christine, Socrates, Alex, and Jack — for all the walks, laughs, drinks, meals, and conversations. Most of us met at Config 2023, and each year since has felt like a friends’ reunion.

I’ll be traveling for work this week and taking next weekend off from the newsletter, so enjoy this longer post-Config issue — I’ll write to you again soon!

Aura to Figma. Harmonizer. Bottoms-up GTM.

Just one day until Config! I’m flying to San Francisco tonight, hoping for better luck than last year. If you’re attending the conference, read this newsletter, and spotted me in the crowd — come say hi! I love meeting new people and making friends. (Here are some photos from last year so you can recognize me.) I’ll have Figmalion stickers to give away, too.

It’s going to be a busy few days. Here are the talks I plan to attend, though the hallway track often wins. On Tuesday, I’ll be joining Molly’s hike and coffee in the morning, hanging out at Config Commons around noon, and wrapping up the day at GitHub’s dev community event. On Wednesday, I’ll be at the Detach Instance 2025 after-party. Then it’s a red-eye flight home on Thursday so I can start writing a big-ass newsletter for next week.

See you there!
