Charlie Marie explains why she values and uses both Figma and Webflow in her process.

Nice trick on using ​“after delay” animation in combination with a Lottie file to avoid an infinite animation loop and play it only once.

Three new features in FigJam: washi tape (which was first introduced as an April Fools’ joke!), fun chat, and new stickers.

More ways for teams to customize their workspace and freely express themselves: organize documents into Sections, more colors (including adding your own!), sticky note resizing, and more.

FigJam is now available on iPad! Beta testing was announced back in January, and I’m really glad they started with FigJam. While I can’t see myself using the iPad for high-fidelity work, it’s perfect for making low-fidelity sketches with Apple Pencil or laying out flows. See the Twitter thread by Robert Bye, Product Manager of Mobile and Desktop Apps at Figma, on making some of these decisions while building the app.

Manually update widgets that are already placed on a board.

Several updates to make brainstorming and diagraming even easier in FigJam: a simplified toolbar, text resizing, sticky stamps and highlights, image borders, and more.

Recently I’ve shared a few no-code tools for generating code from Figma mockups, but this one is different and works in reverse by generating Figma components and variants from your code and Storybook stories. Nifty idea!

Miggi shows his process of writing in small chunks using FigJam. Love how flexible and multi-faceted this product is!

“Dwell has a well-established culture of company-wide brainstorming, a concept they call ​“swarming.” During a swarm, someone will post a topic that they want to discuss into a Slack channel, throw in a FigJam link, and invite anyone from the company that is interested to join in and ​“swarm” on that subject. Swarms last around 10 to 15 minutes and can range from discussing a magazine feature idea to hammering out the details of company goals and editorial strategy.”

FigJam is out of beta with new paid plans for teams that want to collaborate without limits. Figma also got a new Enterprise plan ​“that provides the structure, granular controls, advanced security, and support that organizations need to support all the groups that take part in their design process.” (The Twitter thread by Sean Chin provides a curious look behind the scenes on how long it takes to ship something like this.)

…and a few improvements to the plugins and widgets menus in FigJam.

Quickly import and embed PDF files into your FigJam boards.

Framer announced the new app for designing and publishing websites without writing any code. Like everything they do, it’s powerful and well-made. It’s even integrated with Figma through their Framer Copy Paste plugin! Excited to see more high-quality tools in this field.

A new plugin by Framer. You can now copy layers in Figma and paste them directly into Framer to make your Figma projects interactive in just a few steps.

Admins on the Organization plan now can see who’s using FigJam at the Members and Activity tabs.

Fill-in-the-blank sticky note, where different people can fill out different parts of the sentence. Works great for e.g. ice breakers, user story templates, and critical user journeys.
