Small improvements to FigJam keep coming — now connectors can connect to the edge or arbitrary spots on an object, not just the NSEW cardinal directions.

Nathan A Curtis maintained ~2,000 slides worth of workshops and talks in Figma for four years, so his feedback on Figma Slides is worth listening to. His biggest complaint is a lack of templates and styles on the Professional plan, but in the replies Slides PM Mihika Kapoor confirmed that Pro templates are coming soon.

Slides PM Mihika Kapoor shares how to run the perfect product review using Figma Slides. You’ll learn best practices for getting the input you need, driving decisions, and aligning stakeholders around the work.

Quality-of-life improvement in FigJam — regardless of connector and shape styling, they will always have the same optical spacing. Also, alignment indicators now appear only when needed and are hidden when the object is being moved across the board. So much cleaner!

After giving Slides a good try, Raquel Piqueras shares a few things she has been missing — a simple timer, access to sharing settings from the open presentation, slide-level components, and hotkeys to streamline the work.

The last of the ten newly announced features — hide slides to skip them!

A behind-the-scenes look into the journey of launching Figma Slides. As Mihika noted, this talk could be considered the other half of her podcast with Lenny on building zero-to-one products from a few months ago.

Day 8. Improved language support in the Tone Dial.

Day 9 brings new slick transition controls to customize the duration, easing curve, delay, etc.

Day 7 drop makes it possible to add all the slides into the deck with no need to choose right away.

Day 6 of new releases with an addition of rulers to Slides.

Day 3: Add template text styles in the Design mode instead of jumping between modes.

Day 4: Click the right arrow to advance slides and play videos.

Day 2: Hit Shift‑D or toggle the right end of your toolbar to access your Design mode.

Figma Slides was launched two weeks ago, and now the team is shipping 10 improvements in 10 days. The first drop: view layers in the Design mode while in the grid view.

I don’t use Affinity apps day-to-day, but I bought a license a while ago (a glorious one-time fee!) and use it whenever I need to do something for print, convert a tricky vector from EPS, or edit a photo. It won’t replace Figma for me, but it filled a void that Adobe Creative Cloud left. They were acquired by Canva earlier this year and currently run a promotion offering a six-month free trial and 50% off all perpetual licenses ($82.99 for all apps on all platforms). Worth giving a try!

Daniel Destefanis and Soundharya Muthukrishnan: ​“Here’s a simple presentation template to share designs with your collaborators or clients and get alignment.”

Femke made a template for the presentation deck as an overview of your next design project.
