Figma CEO Dylan Field kicked off Config 2022 with opening remarks and the launch of 15 new features, ranging from favoriting files to a new version of Auto Layout. At this point, I’m more excited about Dylan’s keynotes than Apple’s. Love how every Config makes our lives better by addressing real problems and small annoyances.
An excerpt from Dylan’s talk on how it took five years from the moment they started working on Figma to the first paid customers.
Enjoying learning about how @figma got where they are today

Vijay has some next-level patience and perseverance — it took 19K vector shapes to create the realistic fur of the panda. Mind-blowing!
Adorable face of red panda and the vibrant red color of #TurningRed inspired me so much that I couldn't resist making it purely in @figma 😍.
