A FigJam widget to help your group take turns. Keep track of whose turn it is, who’s already gone, and who’s left.

“We’re bringing our open platform to FigJam so developers can build plugins and widgets to automate workflows and engage the entire team. Widgets are interactive, native-like objects — like polls, games, and notepads — that the entire team can use together. Hear from Figmates and developers from the Community to see how you can build your own!”

“Get an inside look into how engineers across Figma use FigJam to stay aligned, share feedback, and communicate complex problems. We’ll showcase how we’ve integrated FigJam into our engineering process and arm you with templates to use with your team.”

“We recently caught up with three of Figma’s engineers — Alice Ching, Joey Wang, and Greg Blaszczuk — to learn more about how they use FigJam to navigate their day-to-day. Here, they share how jamming helps them break down complex problems, work through feedback together, and add more fun to the workday.”
