This is my new favorite palette generator. After working on the Supa Palette plugin for a few years, Angelo Libero went deep on the new standalone tool. It offers an insane level of control — you can start with a preset like Tailwind CSS 4 and add new color palettes following their algorithm, or go into the Curve mode for full control over lightness, chroma, and hue. Accessibility checks are built in, and there are lots of export options.

Jakub Krehel shows how he uses AI every day as a design engineer. My process is very similar, but I still picked up a few things!

Ridd shares his mental model for deciding which tools to reach for when coding with AI. Also available as a Dive Club video.

The Glass effect is now generally available, and Miggi introduces a few updates: add Glass to any object, shape, or text; design Glass with non-uniform corners and precisely round each corner radius; use the Splay property to control how light bends around an object’s edges; and apply variables to Glass properties to easily connect to your design system.

“Join Nikolas Klein (Product Manager, Figma) and Peter Ng (Product Designer, Figma) in the first episode of Design Roulette, where we challenge designers to create designs with no preparation. The twist? They’ll also have to spin the wheel and incorporate the chosen random design prompt into their design. In this episode, they’ll conceptualize ads for the mythical hot sauce, Véloce, using Figma’s new AI image editing tools.”

New device frames are now available for the latest iPhone 17 and Air models.

“The Figma plugin suite for designers, developers, and marketers who care about speed, structure, and creativity. Automate audits, renaming, cleanup, and project setup so teams ship in sync.”

With the Figma MCP app in Claude, designers, developers, and product managers can now create AI-generated FigJam diagrams.

On a recent livestream, Product Designer Megan Bednarczyk and Software Engineer Nile Phillips from Figma demonstrated how PDE teams can use AI-powered diagramming to tackle complex problems and visualize the bigger picture.

In this interview, Jay Dalal chats with Laura Dunn, Head of Design Research for the GM Human Interface Design Team. You will learn how Laura uses Figma Make as a UX researcher to communicate visually with designers.

Once your design system is in Figma Make, you can really reap the benefits of working with design and code side by side and start actually using your system. This article walks through the specific technical problems of pulling a design system out of a monorepo to make it accessible in Figma Make.

A thoughtful visual essay by Terry Godier on UI patterns migrating from email clients into RSS readers and other apps for consuming content and creating ​“phantom obligation” in the process — guilt about media and tasks no one is actually waiting on you to complete. It matters if you design products or manage your own attention, because unread counts and backlogs manufacture a sense of debt rather than reflect real commitments.
