Easy and fast way to access a pre-defined color palette in FigJam.
Here is a @figma FigJam process tip. Paste in screenshots of palettes when using the marker tool. Hit the "i" key for the eye dropper tool to select colors from the palettes. Great for quick ideation and grey scale UI wireframes. #figmatip. pic.twitter.com/sfAjcAwksv

Easily size shapes to the same dimensions using new guidelines to match height and width.
Last but not least, we added size guidelines and snapping to make it easier to create and resize shapes, sections and images to the same size! No more guessing or eyeballing sizes, just look out for those purple guidelines! pic.twitter.com/0doTD2mf9c

Old news for our readers ;-) Hover over stamps to see who left them.

I’m thrilled today to show off what I’ve been working on @figma — making diagramming more fluid in FigJam

First up are improvements to Quick Create! We now try to avoid overlapping with existing objects and made sure Quick Create indicators are always shown for fast diagramming! pic.twitter.com/OUARJDrtlZ
Another personal favorite! 📐 Connectors will automatically straighten when objects look center aligned — no more wonky lines!

Three new features in FigJam: washi tape (which was first introduced as an April Fools’ joke!), fun chat, and new stickers.

FigJam is now available on iPad! Beta testing was announced back in January, and I’m really glad they started with FigJam. While I can’t see myself using the iPad for high-fidelity work, it’s perfect for making low-fidelity sketches with Apple Pencil or laying out flows. See the Twitter thread by Robert Bye, Product Manager of Mobile and Desktop Apps at Figma, on making some of these decisions while building the app.
