Touch Glass. iOS 26 UI Kit. Supabase in Figma Make.
What’s New
AMA: Noah Levin on Figma’s latest release
Noah Levin, VP of Product Design at Figma, sits down with the Design Better podcast to answer their questions about hiring and scaling design teams in the AI age, fostering better design-developer collaboration, and lessons from designing the new Figma.
Figma Design
Let’s touch glass
This effect looks incredible! So glad we won’t need to deal with hacky imitations. Don’t miss a breakdown of how Miggi made this video.
How to use the glass effect in Figma
Figma’s newest product designer Rogie presents a new effect that allows you to manipulate light, depth, frost, and refraction to create dynamic elements that refract light like physical glass. This playground file will teach you how to use the effect and provide creative inspiration to have fun with glass.
Translating glass for the web
My sympathy goes out to web developers looking for Glass’s CSS in Dev Mode.
iOS and iPadOS 26
Apple released new iOS and iPad OS 26 design kits last week. They’ve been clearly waiting for Figma to add the new Glass effect first, as reproducing it manually would not have been sustainable. This is a core UI library if you’re designing for iOS, but also a fantastic educational resource for everyone else.
Building your ideas with Claude Code and Figma MCP
Tailwind’s Dan Hollick shows Ridd from Dive Club how Claude Code ties into Figma’s MCP server to spin up an editable UI, sharing his prompting tactics and live-debug workflow along the way. Handy if you’re testing AI-assisted builds from real design files.
File export controls for Governance+ Enterprise customers
“Organization admins at companies using Governance+ for Figma Enterprise can now prevent users with view-only access from copying, saving, or exporting files. These controls can be applied to guest viewers or to all viewers, and can be configured at the organization or workspace level to align with your data-sharing policies.”
Figma Make
Figma Live: Figma Make + Supabase
Jack Michalak and Tammy Taabassum pair with Supabase’s Chris Caruso to demo Make’s new Supabase connector, wiring auth, file uploads, and live Postgres tables straight from a Figma frame. Nice primer on turning a design into a data-backed web app with almost no code.
Resources
Untitled UI React
Jordan Hughes just shipped Untitled UI React, an open-source library of 5k+ Tailwind-styled components powered by React Aria and TypeScript. Fully aligned and in sync with the Untitled UI kit in Figma and includes a limited free version.
Plugins
Essential Tokens
Socrates vibe-coded a plugin that parses Tailwind CSS variables from tweakcn and imports them into Figma. No hassle, no aliasing — just variables named aligned with code.
