Gleb Sabirzyanov released a major update to his popular plugin for working with components.
I’m creating a resource for y’all on stuff I wish I knew in Figma when I started. Can you throw me your favorites?

Use an `IconWrapper` to nest icons in your components.
That way you can always resize your icons without having to detach components, hide layers, or add additional variants.

Figma just rolled out a feature that allows you to turn off showing a shadow behind transparent areas. I'm ridiculously stoked about this because of what it means for turning designs into code.

Jordan Singer announced Tricycle, a set of automation tools for designers powered by AI. Over the years, Jordan has built some of the most interesting Figma plugins and experiments, so I’m stoked for this product.
Rasmus Andersson shares a few hidden Figma tips. His second tip on adding viewer=1
to the URL query part to load a file very quickly in Figma’s lightweight “viewer” renderer is something I may use in the future.
Try https://t.co/RWZ0T90aQr in safari. The iOS app is really just a web view loading that. So, likely iOS bit rot 🤷

This update allows plugins to create new prototype interactions in the editor. Check out a code sample by Anthony DiSpezio.
We’ve updated our Plugin API to make reactions writable. Now you can build plugins to automate the prototype creation process or modify interactions in bulk.

Check out @adispezio's code example to get started. We can’t wait to see what you create! https://t.co/Q9KOnXwzz3 pic.twitter.com/fdoyNbKYcu
Now in @figmadesign you can totally draw straight lines with the pencil tool while holding down the shift key!

But did you know that depending on the background when you start drawing with the pencil, it will auto adjust white to black and vice versa? Same when placing text! pic.twitter.com/i1mCFHjBcc
