Supafast!

Andrei Iancu shared two more kits with loading animations — see also his really cool Kit 3 with delayed steps.

Ridd: ​“Switchboards are main components that have been pulled out of a chunk of UI so as to function as a single place to control all of the prototyping connections”.

Figma announced a prototype screen reader beta that includes support for text notes, alt text for images, and the ability to interact with and navigate through prototypes with buttons and keyboard actions like tabbing.

Create more natural and fluid transitions for your prototypes with spring presets or a custom animation.

A new plugin by Jordan Singer, creator of Automator. See his video on using the power of code to prototype inside of Figma.

Nice trick on using ​“after delay” animation in combination with a Lottie file to avoid an infinite animation loop and play it only once.

Create, attach, and update tracking events in your Figma files.

A cool explainer of impressive interactive effects made with Figma, Spline, and Anima.

A few bug fixes related to prototypes.

Great example of a rich Figma prototype made with lots of cool interactions. See also a video on Alvish’s Twitter.

Zander Whitehurst shows how to animate a radio button supafast.

Designer Advocate Ana Boyer ran a 15-day prototyping challenge to help the Figma Community learn how to take advantage of the new features and level up their prototyping game. In this post, she is sharing a recap of all tips, along with Figma Community files to get you started.

Rogie made a new plugin for playing a prototype while editing it. Because the plugin accesses the file id, it has to be installed locally. (I usually just open a prototype in a new app window while working on it.)

A cool recreation of PS5 UI with Smart Animate.

Impressive hyper-realistic prototype of a calendar made with interactive components.

Interactive Components (currently in beta) now work with Auto Layout, and that opens doors for some fun interactions.

A comprehensive guide on prototyping in Figma, covering interactions, animations, fix positions, overflow scrolling, and interactive components.

This update allows plugins to create new prototype interactions in the editor. Check out a code sample by Anthony DiSpezio.
