Unicorn Studio makes creating WebGL effects, motion, and interactivity easy for designers. Later, they can be embedded in Framer, Webflow, or any website.

Updates to AI-powered image editing features across all products — remove background or boost resolution for up to 25 images at once, and choose between Gemini 2.0 Flash and GPT Image 1 to get results that best match your prompt.

Fantastic resource from Mike Smith, where all of the Google Fonts that are actually good are categorized by ​“vibe”.

“Now you can add all the templates within a template set in just one click — so you can create more assets and launch your campaign even faster. Just the click ​“Add all” button at the top of the template set to insert them into your file at once.”

“We’ve rolled out updates to improve how embeds work in Figma Sites. Embeds let you bring interactive content directly into your webpage — from forms to music to social media — using a simple URL.”

“The look and feel of FigJam’s toolbar has a refreshed look and feel, with new iconography, submenus, and a streamlined experience. The tools you use still live in the same place, but their look and feel have been refreshed to match patterns found everywhere else in Figma.”

A few updates to Figma Make to make editing, previewing, and iterating even smoother: preview your Make across screen sizes using a new device dropdown menu and custom dimension editor; Make now saves named versions and tracks every code edit, so you can quickly review changes and restore to an earlier state at any time.

A recording of office hours from May, where the Figma team walks through different layouts where the grid can be used to create rich and responsive UIs.

“We’re introducing a series of new features that remove barriers for keyboard-only designers across most Figma products. Users can now pan the canvas, insert objects, and make precise selections quickly and easily. And, with improved screen reader support, these actions are read aloud as users work, making it easier to stay oriented.”

“If a variable or style name gets cut off in the picker, you can now hover over it to see the full name.”

The new Variables modal got search and filter capabilities and now opens edge-to-edge for better visibility.

In response to Dann Petty, Dan Mall recorded a video showing what parts of Auto Layout he uses and what he ignores. I found it interesting because it’s so different than the way I use Auto Layout, but it works well for Dan! I use spacer frames occasionally, but never as my first choice.

Miggi and special guests walk through updates across Figma Make, Sites, Buzz, FigJam, Slides, Dev Mode, Draw, and Design. Highlights include style context and Supabase integration in Make, vector simplifying and offset in Draw, grid updates, Dev Mode’s interactive inspection, and Sites’ background video fill.

Socrates vibe-coded a plugin that parses Tailwind CSS variables from tweakcn and imports them into Figma. No hassle, no aliasing — just variables named aligned with code.

“Organization admins at companies using Governance+ for Figma Enterprise can now prevent users with view-only access from copying, saving, or exporting files. These controls can be applied to guest viewers or to all viewers, and can be configured at the organization or workspace level to align with your data-sharing policies.”

Tailwind’s Dan Hollick shows Ridd from Dive Club how Claude Code ties into Figma’s MCP server to spin up an editable UI, sharing his prompting tactics and live-debug workflow along the way. Handy if you’re testing AI-assisted builds from real design files.

My sympathy goes out to web developers looking for Glass’s CSS in Dev Mode.

Figma’s newest product designer Rogie presents a new effect that allows you to manipulate light, depth, frost, and refraction to create dynamic elements that refract light like physical glass. This playground file will teach you how to use the effect and provide creative inspiration to have fun with glass. 

This effect looks incredible! So glad we won’t need to deal with hacky imitations. Don’t miss a breakdown of how Miggi made this video.

I purchased Emil Kowalski​’s course on animation back in April, but started working through it only last week. Emil is a design engineer at Linear and previously worked at Vercel. The course is fairly technical and requires an understanding of CSS, JS, and React, but it does a really good job introducing Motion and explaining what separates good animations from great. It’s been very helpful as I’m working on a new personal website, so definitely recommend checking it out!
