The official mobile app for in-person attendees is a great way to see the full conference agenda, build your schedule, access speaker profiles, the location maps, and get real-time updates.

Figma dropped a fun pre-Config teaser that gives clues about 5 upcoming releases after solving 5 puzzles. The clues might be more tricky than the puzzles themselves!

Great resource from O/M Studio: ​“Welcome to San Francisco! To celebrate Config 2023 in partnership with Figma, we curated a guide to help you get the most out of your visit to our hometown. Our San Francisco guide points you to all of our favorite restaurants, bars, shops, and activities. Friends don’t let friends drink bad coffee, right?”

Molly Hellmuth points to five places where her students often get stuck when building component sets in Figma. Matching names of the layers across variants, ordering and grouping properties, rearranging a component set for the most common variant, and breaking down large component sets are all great tips for getting unstuck.

A new workshop from Miggi and Alex on making icons in Figma. ​“In this workshop, we will explore various ways to leverage vector shapes, boolean operations, the pen tool, and more to create reusable icons. These skills can also be applied to producing graphics, illustrations, logos, and other designs that can be used across different platforms.”

“Create beautiful tiny graphs with a couple of clicks. Paste your data from Excel, CSV, JSON, or type it. Use Shuffle to make more variants of your data to explore patterns and get insights.”

Evan Wallace, a co-founder of Figma, made this niche plugin 4 years ago, and I just discovered it?! ​“This plugin lets you edit the fill rules of a vector object. Fill rules determine which parts of a vector outline are filled. The fill rules have different behavior when a vector outline overlaps. Why is this useful? Certain export formats (e.g. TrueType fonts, Android VectorDrawable) only support the non-zero fill rule. You can use this plugin to manually convert even-odd to non-zero to make the exporters for these formats work.”

A new version of the popular plugin for converting any website into a fully editable Figma design. What’s new: bulk import of multiple pages at once, importing multiple viewports at once, showing light and dark themes side by side, and even higher quality transformations.
