It’s not as powerful as text on a path in Illustrator, but a great way to curve text upward, downward, or into a circle.
Quickly annotate your designs to indicate their status, like In Progress, Review, Approved, Develop, or Completed.
Good time saver. Alt/Option key only needs to be pressed if image fill isn’t set to Crop; otherwise double-click is sufficient.
Discovered a @figmadesign shortcut that will save me tons of time:

As always, Gleb comes up with an incredibly creative way to push Figma’s limits.
Advanced @figmadesign prototyping challenge: create a full circular progress bar animation with just two frames and Smart Animate. 😎 Can you?

Design Details podcast shares tips and tricks for staying organized in Figma, simplifying the engineering handoff, and not getting bogged down in pages hell.
Figma’s online event with Cheechee Lin from Dropbox and Viktoriia Leontieva from Microsoft, discussing how their teams perform remote sprints and share the ins and outs behind their community templates, designed to help teams who are adjusting to remote design.
A proposal for Figma to introduce Tokens panel with manually added values that can be reused across properties of objects and then exported to a developer-friendly format.
Figma Community is coming together to share resources, learnings, and best practices as we learn new ways of working together remotely.
On April Fun Day, Figma surprised all teams collaborating on documents with fun individual cursors. Check out the video demo shared by Emily Lin on Twitter.
More visible white-on-red badges replaced old measurements set in red text.
Loving the new, easier to read @figmadesign on-canvas measurement treatments that shipped today! Kudos to Heather Tompkins, @rsms, @mwichary, @willyvvu, and @eymlin for working on this great improvement. pic.twitter.com/1A34S85UMt

Click the target icon to select a color’s objects and change only them. Hit the styles icon to create a new style with a selected color, or apply an existing one.
Selection Colors has two new tricks!
— Figma (@figma) April 6, 2020
1. Use the target icon to select a color's objects & make adjustments to just those objects.
2. Hit the styles icon to create a new style with the selected color or apply an existing style.

The plugin helps you create, attach, and update tracking annotations in Figma.
Create a variety of waves and interesting patterns.
Copy and paste element styles from Figma files into the Xcode project.
Apply over 30 custom filters to raster images.
Create, preview, and export sequence animations.
Gleb got on the challenge of implementing typing in the prototype using overlays, keyboard triggers, GIFs, and some magic. Absolutely impractical but fun nonetheless!
A question in the @figmadesign community inspired a fun challenge: implement “real” typing in the prototype! I used overlays, keyboard triggers, gif and some magic! ✨

Duplicate the file to see how it works. And if you fancy it — add characters & remix! https://t.co/Os1u3KsQG8 pic.twitter.com/eCC8x9Sc3x
Drag-n-drop from the Assets tab is a time-saver.

Better way to swap a component
1. Select the component you want to swap
2. Goto the Assets tab
