Solid collection grouped into categories like accessibility, collaboration, productivity, development, animation, and optimization.

Joey Banks from Figma shows how he uses Auto Layout to generate previews of their newsletter template for both desktop and mobile.

Brian and Marshall discuss creating layouts with Sketch’s Smart Layout and Figma’s Auto Layout, and compare the experience with implementing layouts in CSS and SwiftUI.

Adam Noffsinger shares his experience with using Figma for testing a self-driving car interface on a tablet using Figma Mirror.

Nice tip! That’s something I use quite often.

A list of 5 solid principles for building components — reusability, nesting, UI and UX patterns, reusing styles, and consistent naming structure.

Samuel shares a few tips on organizing Figma files.

“A strategy that may help ease some of the pain and confusion when deprecating unwanted components.” That’s something we all have to do from time to time, so I’m glad Steve Dennis documented his approach.

Official recap of new features announced at Config. More responsive Auto Layout, an updated font picker, improvements to color selection, hyperlinking, and new prototype permissions settings.

Figma introduced remixes to community projects — now you can duplicate a file and publish your version of it as a remix. (That may sound familiar if you remember Layer Tennis or rebounds at Dribbble.)

Tweak hue, saturation, and lightness values of multiple selected objects at once. (Also, how could I not mention a plugin with an icon like this?!)

Lots of great recommendations on Dann Petty’s Twitter.

Detailed step by step guide on how to build a private Figma plugin that will sync colors from your Figma library to a file with CSS variables on GitHub. Nice automation!

An interesting model for collaboration in Figma, borrowing the best practices from the software development world. It defines a process where the team is solving one problem at a time by structuring the project in a specific way, applying naming conventions, and using version control.

Spelling and grammar checker for Figma. Free for files with fewer than 100 text layers.

Fantastic plugin for finding all instances of the component. I used it while migrating and unifying a large design system and it was irreplaceable.

Quick video showing real-life usage of Auto Layout in a few beautiful mockups.

A short video explaining Constraints and developer takeoff.

Coming in the next release. So happy to see resizing moved to the top level!

A common approach seems to be using a separate private project for experimenting and then moving finished work to a public place. Figma designers use this approach internally as well.
