“You’ve been invited to collaborate in FigJam! Watch this video to learn the basics so you’re ready to jam with your team on project plans, flow charts, and more.”
“Annual planning — it’s one of the most cross-functional, critical, and downright messy endeavors that teams take on each year. For Amplitude, building great products and establishing an operating plan for success start with aligning on a north star metric and deconstructing user journeys.” Comes with workshop templates to make planning fun as well.
Four new fonts in FigJam to convey just the right message or feeling. “Simple” is a new standard font for long-form text and easy scanning. “Bookish” is a serif font that adds a touch of formality to headers and quotes. “Technical” is a fixed-width font that mimics the look and feel of code. “Scribbled” is a script-based font that’s perfect for comments and annotations. All fonts were custom-made for FigJam by OH no Type Co and come with lots of beautiful details and juicy ligatures (have you seen the exclamation marks?!)
This is one of the FigJam brand updates that Figma has been working on since last year and just started to roll out. Make sure to check out this Twitter thread by Damien Correll, Creative Director at Figma.

The new integration lets you embed a Mixpanel preview in FigJam to bring data into your whiteboarding sessions. File previews are automatically synced with Mixpanel so the latest data changes in Mixpanel will be reflected in FigJam.
Ever wanted to collaborate in FigJam using virtual reality? A note from the developer: “We wouldn’t build a better tool than Figma, so we used their super SDK to write a plugin that integrates with our XR application. We develop our applications for Snapdragon Spaces technology, available for Lenovo A3 glasses, as well as for Quest 2 and Quest Pro. We use Unity technology, so in the future the app can be open on any device like Android/iOS/MagicLeap/Quest etc. The app is still a prototype, but we consider of going forward and release it in some day.”
At Nomtek Labs, we put Figma in XR under the Snapdragon Spaces Pathfinder Program. Now you can seamlessly collaborate using FigJam Board. Check out this WIP demo on Quest Pro (the app works on Spaces Dev Kit as well) #XR #Figma #Collaboration #QuestPro #SpacesDevKit #Snapdragon pic.twitter.com/PSMY4cl3QG

Alex Einarsson made a great FigJam plugin that recognizes shapes you draw and converts them to native shapes with editable text. Perfect for wireframing on both tablets and desktops.
Just in time for Hanukkah!
