Vijay wrote a step-by-step guide on making a button with a cool multi-color glowing effect.

Ana Boyer with tips for using Figma for presentations.

Luis is experimenting with a different way of managing styles in Figma. He argues that bringing styles a lot closer to their usage makes it easier to understand the context.

In this tutorial thread, Fons Mans walks through the steps of creating Linear-like gradients. The community file is available as well.

Lenny Rachitsky talks to Yuhki Yamashita, CPO (Chief Product Officer) at Figma. ​“In today’s episode, we talk about operationalizing quality, the case against OKRs, and how Figma isn’t just known for product-led growth, but also for building a community of empowered users. Yuhki also shares why he thinks storytelling is key to being a great product manager, owning the ​“why,” and the potential impact of Adobe’s acquisition of Figma.”

Fons Mans shared a project quote template that he used in 2022.

Miggi started a YouTube channel with his design shorts, Figma tips, and tutorials. Start with his recent series on making icons in Figma.

I’ve been enjoying Molly Hellmuth’s Friday Five newsletter with Figma tips and tricks. In the most recent issue, she shared a few clips from her Design System Bootcamp – like this tip on organizing file structure or another one on component properties.

Ridd just launched Dive with an amazing lineup of design educators. In this tutorial, he designs the new Dive website and shows how his use of components to speed up workflow in Figma, talks about visual design principles and his approach to UI design in Figma. Lastly, he shows how easy it is to go from Figma to Framer to a published website.

A long video of MDS walking through his entire design process at regular speed.

“Beginning February 2023, Figma will add support for paid files, plugins, and widgets on the Figma Community. Eligible creators will be able to publish paid resources and users will be able purchase resources directly from the Figma Community.” As a community creator, I’m genuinely excited about this — I’ve had a few commercial plugin ideas in the past, but was put off by handling payments.

That said, the announcement raised some questions. All community files must switch to Figma’s payment platform, but existing plugins and widgets may continue to be sold through 3rd-party payment sites. Rogie provided additional details in his Twitter thread.

Vijay Verma with a smart workaround for rotating an object reflection with the key object. (And here is another one, if that wasn’t enough!)

Miggi with two great tips on managing gradients. I wish we didn’t need to resolve to a 100 pixels square hack, but often it gets the job done!

A new plugin made for Figma developers by Diagram. Debugger is a Figma node inspector that lets you inspect and debug your layers. Support for all node types, watching and editing values, filtering, and some more.

Miggie shows how to prototype overlay transitions for thumbnails using interactive components. This tutorial is intermediate and covers the use of overlays, Auto Layout, interactive components, and placing images.

A ready-to-use web UI kit with predefined components and a few page libraries by Vijay Verma.

Anthony gives a tip on adding prototype scrolling and interactive components inside your Figma presentations.

Ana is building off of her tip on creating nested icons that preserve color overrides, and now makes them duotone.

Miggie is sharing a few tips on making a heart icon.

Vijay challenges himself by limiting his tools only to primitives while working on this icon. It’s quite amazing what can be done by mixing imagination with 29 ellipses, 8 rectangles, and 1 frame.
