Evan Wallace, a co-founder of Figma, made this niche plugin 4 years ago, and I just discovered it?! ​“This plugin lets you edit the fill rules of a vector object. Fill rules determine which parts of a vector outline are filled. The fill rules have different behavior when a vector outline overlaps. Why is this useful? Certain export formats (e.g. TrueType fonts, Android VectorDrawable) only support the non-zero fill rule. You can use this plugin to manually convert even-odd to non-zero to make the exporters for these formats work.”

Evan Wallace, Figma co-founder and CTO, announced that he left Figma last year. See also tweets by his co-founder Dylan Field and ex-engineer Jamie Wong. Evan is incredibly talented — I’m grateful for all he did for Figma and looking forward to seeing what he decides to do next.

Figma55 recorded a short demo of the recently released plugin by Figma cofounder Evan Wallace.

The plugin adds support for variable-width strokes. Made by Evan Wallace, a co-founder of Figma. (Hopefully, this is just a sign that native support is coming to the app soon!)

Dylan Field shares how he and Evan Wallace came up with the idea for Figma. In the first part, he shares his original pitch in the Thiel Fellowship application from 2011.

Inc. Magazine recognized Figma cofounders Dylan Fields and Evan Wallace as ​“Rising Stars of 2019”, and Computer Science Department at Brown University talked to Dylan about what sparked the idea for the company.
