Fantastic examples of real-life FigJam use cases in the classroom.

Thread by Dylan Field, the CEO of Figma, on not just translating physical experiences into digital realms but also making digital experiences even better than physical counterparts.

A huge change for organizations with external collaborators and education. ​“Open sessions is a way for visitors to join your FigJam file without having to create an account. Now FigJam is a welcoming space for all participants — from the teammate, to the external partner, to the occasional jammer.”

So many great things in a single announcement! New pricing starting February 2022 ($0–5/editor/month), open sessions, widgets, plugins, embedded content, as well as new shapes, code blocks, and templates.

Video recording of the latest announcements at FigJam: ​“Hear from Rogie, Bersabel, and Emily as they introduce Templates, new shapes, code blocks, open sessions, plugins, widgets​and new pricing! We’ll also feature live demos of widgets from our partners at Donut, Stark, and CoderPad; watch to learn how you can make FigJam the home for your brainstorms.“

A recap of everything that got shipped in October: new FigJam capabilities (see below), Interactive Components, and Branching. A busy month after a multi-year effort!

Bravo Studio is a platform for building mobile apps from Figma prototypes without writing code. The new version adds a whole new set of functionalities. See also their new demo video.

“Today’s launch of Anima 5 marks another milestone on our mission to perfect the design-to-development workflow: truly functioning Material Design in Figma and Adobe XD. This means you can now build prototypes using actual code-based Material UI components.”

According to the results of Jamstack Community Survey 2021, 60% of respondents use Figma, and its satisfaction score is 8.8. Look at the chart to see how incredible this score is when compared to other design tools. There is nothing like this in any other category either (except for IDEs, but that’s not a specific tool.)

“FigJam is an online whiteboard for teams to ideate and brainstorm together. Purpose-built for the earliest stages of design, FigJam makes everything from discovery to design sprints easier and more fun — whether you’re working alone or collaborating with your extended team. Let’s see how we can use FigJam collaboratively in an online brainstorming session!”

Emily Lin, the lead product manager of FigJam, shared some of her experiences and lessons learned from launching FigJam with a team at Productboard.

Ana Boyer on the best practices and strategies for collaborating in FigJam throughout the entire design process — from your first brainstorm to the final review.

You can now mix different text sizes in the same text box, sticky note, or shape.

New plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to make zooming in and out even easier in FigJam.

“In this video, we will guide you on how to select a single frame from a Lottie animation from the LottieFiles Library and export it to Figma. Then, we will use this new SVG and place it as part of our UI and animate it in Figma using the prototype feature.”
