Joey Banks is back with five advanced Figma tips — renaming layers in bulk, selecting all objects based on a specific property, Spacebar’s superpower, private components, and using descriptions to improve search.

A new plugin with 120+ high-quality free illustrations by Vijay Verma.

Ridd shares five awesome strategies for using component properties: strategic nesting, progressive disclosure, minimizing decisions, emojis, and streamlining the instance swap.

Love this behind-the-scenes video of Nikolas Klein and William Wu from Figma experimenting with how fast they can set a spring animation based on a feeling.

”Loreum ipusm for logos. Insert dummy logos of companies into your Figma or FigJam file quickly. The plugin also includes 194 flags of countries as well as popular brand logos.” Don’t miss Vijay’s Twitter thread of a story and details behind this plugin.

Prototyper is a new plugin from the team behind Automator, offering powerful prototyping with JavaScript right in Figma, similar to the old days of Framer Classic. A really powerful combo for exploring ideas and building prototypes in higher fidelity.

Joey Banks introduced the new version of his iOS 16 UI Kit just a few days after WWDC 2022. Joey’s kits are fantastic resources for making iOS apps and learning about the organization of a large system. This year, he is also offering a paid version that includes exactly the same files, but by purchasing you’ll support the project and receive library updates and video walkthroughs.

Yet another fantastic artwork by Vijay Verma. Make sure to check out the community file and other tweets in this thread with his explanation of the process.

A high-quality free tutorial from Design+Code: ​“Design a Web app design inspired by Discord and Slack in the Figma design tool.”

Yuan Qing Lim announced a new version of his boilerplate for creating Figma plugins with support for dark mode, with all components using Figma‘s official color tokens.

Rasmus Andersson shows how to make a simple font in Figma.

Vijay Verma’s massive collection of 3D icons is now available as a free plugin.

“Tune in to hear Clara, Amanda, and Qi walk through how to get started and unlock more font styles. From optical sizing to slant, learn how variable fonts give you more design control and expression.”

Ridd: ​“Switchboards are main components that have been pulled out of a chunk of UI so as to function as a single place to control all of the prototyping connections”.
