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.
🔥 @figmadesign tip:

Better way to swap a component
1. Select the component you want to swap
2. Goto the Assets tab
3. Search for a component
4. Press “Option”
5. Drag n Drop component it to the component on the canvas you selected in #1https://t.co/N9mRgt9c1z pic.twitter.com/BitvwTGvBP
Uh-oh, where is privacy mode when we need it!

The first video in Egghead series on building an OpenGraph image for social services using Social Branding Templates linked below.
Figmatch between illustrators Clare Freeman and Alicja Colon, hosted by Rogie King and Justin Mezzell on Twitch.
Design leaders from Figma, Apartment List, and Help Scout discuss how to set up remote design crits, offer some real examples, and share tips and tricks for success. Slides with Figma’s remote process are available on the Community.
Laura Escobar shares five key principles that prevent a design file from becoming the mayhem no one wants to use — using global styles, creating content structure, organizing layers hierarchically, reusing components, and following naming conventions.
Ultimately she went with InVision Studio, but her comparison and experience of using them is really interesting.
I tested the 3 main Sketch competitors @figmadesign @InVisionApp studio and @AdobeXD to figure out which one would be best at creating micro-interactions #animations and to then share with our UI Devs in the future.

👩💻 and here is what I learned [thread]: 1/8
“This is a guide for using Figma and Google Sheets to rapidly prototype card games. It includes links to the tools, an overview of the key steps, and links to templates.”
Aleksei Kipin shows how to apply the Atomic Design approach to creating Figma components.
A valid point that specifying an element as a component and then detecting all the places where it has already been used would be a great alternative to the existing approach of defining components before using them.
“You can now activate the Hand Tool with a click in the toolbar or by pressing H, as well as by holding the space bar. This lets you pan with one finger instead of two on laptops with touchscreens.”
Sharing prototypes without giving access to their design files was released after being announced at Config.
We heard your feedback: today we’re introducing a new prototype sharing permission.

Now, you can share *just* a prototype without giving clients and stakeholders access to the underlying design files. pic.twitter.com/vWxfbGpYn2
