New tools for managing no longer needed projects by moving them to trash, recovering, or permanently deleting.

I covered October updates in the previous issue, but now you can watch the recording of the second episode of Release Notes with advocates Jake Albaugh and Kaitie Chambers.

Really well-made video tutorial explaining masks in Figma: ​“We answer questions such as: What is a mask? How does it work? How do you use it in Figma? We demonstrate advanced usage and share real examples from our projects.”

If you work in the WordPress ecosystem, there is a new WordPress Design System library for Figma intended to streamline the design process: ​“This library contains Figma styles and components that mirror the base UI components found in the @wordpress/components package, and icons found in the @wordpress/icons package. They are stable, fully supported, and ready for use in projects.”

If you’re curious about the new wave of AI-based development tools, I found this review of Cursor quite insightful: ​“A few months into using Cursor as my daily driver for both personal and work projects, I have some observations to share about whether this is a ​“need-to-have” tool or just a passing fad, as well as strategies to get the most benefit quickly which may help you if you’d like to trial it. Some of you may have tried Cursor and found it underwhelming, and maybe some of these suggestions might inspire you to give it another try.”
