This Week in Startups interviewed Jordan Singer, founder of Diagram and creator of the Automator plugin.
Fascinating thread showing how countless experiments with Figma plugins and API finally led to the development of Automator. This thread was published in March, and two months later today, Jordan announced a $3M seed round for his company — can’t wait to see what he will build next!
Using Figma as a playground to build design tools on top of an infinitely scaleable, realtime multiplayer canvas has changed everything for me.
