Boolean groups + vector networks + rounded corners = magic! Don’t miss Miguel’s original thread, and check out where they brought it in the end 🤯

Miguel with a tip on setting up a lightweight baseline grid with Layout Grid.

Ridd shares great tips on how to make your designs more developer-friendly.

Mariz brings a great point — the current implementation not only hides the values but also makes you click on another UI control to change them.

Interactive Components (currently in beta) now work with Auto Layout, and that opens doors for some fun interactions.

A quick summary of all the recent updates to Figma and FigJam.

You can now adjust the spacing between listed items in the type details panel. Finally! Such a small but important change — I had to imitate this with an Auto Layout in the past.

Figma is now ready for iPhone 13 release.

Learn how objects will position when using copy and paste in Figma.

Miguel is demonstrating the new copy and paste capabilities.

Figma improved copy and paste to make it more consistent and predictable. Now you can replace selected objects with another object that you’ve copied to your clipboard (⇧⌥⌘V or Shift-Ctrl-Alt‑V), paste an object into multiple frames or groups simultaneously, and paste at the cursor location. To see how it all works, check out a playground file. (Figma launched this feature with a different shortcut, but changed it after listening to the community feedback.)

Cool plugin by Tom Quinonero for creating gradients through color spaces like LCH and ZYX with non-linear curves. There are so many cool use cases for color spaces like LCH — it’s a real pity that they’re not a standard part of Figma.

A Node package that converts SVG strokes to outlined fills as a post-export process. Useful if you want to manipulate color attributes in code.

Import and export CSV files as sticky notes, copy-paste spreadsheet cells, and export selected objects or the entire board as a PNG, PDF, or JPG. See the video on how to use these features.

New keyboard shortcuts to make backward and forward actions easier in FigJam. Bring forward: ⌘-] or Ctrl-], bring to front: ], send backward: ⌘-[ or Ctrl-[, send to back: [.

Siddharth Ahuja joins Anthony and builds another experiment, this time reflecting facial expressions.

Anthony DiSpezio shares a fun experiment connecting pose detection and Figma plugin API.

Ridd shows how to use ​“slots”, placeholder components that are part of larger organisms or templates. They are intentionally empty so that they can be replaced with a local component.

A comprehensive guide on prototyping in Figma, covering interactions, animations, fix positions, overflow scrolling, and interactive components.
