Smart and delightful use of animation in the UI. See also the original file at Figma.
u/TheJMoore has been posting a lot of useful content on the r/FigmaDesign subreddit lately. This one compares animation easing styles side-by-side.
Import your Figma projects to Jitter, add animations easily, and export as a video or GIF. Check out this quick demo to see how it works.

Noah Jacobus pushes Figma’s capabilities beyond normal product design and uses it to draw, style, and animate the logo.
It’s no secret that I like @figmadesign a lot—it’s basically replaced my entire illustration & iconography pipeline. Even D&D maps! But I also try to push its capabilities beyond normal product design stuff and my own comfort zone.

Anima has announced the launch of version 4.0, which will allow designers to create prototypes in Figma that are translated into components in React with the click of a button. See an article on TechCrunch or watch an overview by Femke.
Design Lead Gabriela Schmitz from LottieFiles gave a talk at Figma Meetup. If you didn’t try it yet, Lottie has a popular plugin for Figma.
