Plugins

Linear wins the most over-the-top plugin page award. The new plugin enables designers and engineers to collaborate seamlessly without the need to switch tools or context by creating and linking to issues directly from Figma, navigating design tasks in context, and collaborating across teams and tools.

A new version of the popular plugin for converting any website into a fully editable Figma design. What’s new: bulk import of multiple pages at once, importing multiple viewports at once, showing light and dark themes side by side, and even higher quality transformations.

Evan Wallace, a co-founder of Figma, made this niche plugin 4 years ago, and I just discovered it?! ​“This plugin lets you edit the fill rules of a vector object. Fill rules determine which parts of a vector outline are filled. The fill rules have different behavior when a vector outline overlaps. Why is this useful? Certain export formats (e.g. TrueType fonts, Android VectorDrawable) only support the non-zero fill rule. You can use this plugin to manually convert even-odd to non-zero to make the exporters for these formats work.”

“Create beautiful tiny graphs with a couple of clicks. Paste your data from Excel, CSV, JSON, or type it. Use Shuffle to make more variants of your data to explore patterns and get insights.”

“Hippo is a plugin to create stunning vector illustrations and web assets right in Figma, thanks to AI. It’s made to be easy to use, with 22 handpicked styles tailored for the web – no prompt engineering required. It can also vectorize or edit any image with AI.”

It’s focused specifically on UX writing best practices and provides copy suggestions inspired by world-class products in your industry, tailored to your target users, and product voice and tone.

The all-new LottieFiles is the hottest release of this week: ​“Create production-ready animations within Figma and export them as a Lottie. Apply animated presets to a single frame or string together multiple frames to create your fun animation. Bring the power of motion to your designs with LottieFiles for Figma.”

Let Destroyer recursively detach instances, remove Auto Layouts, and detach Styles within your current selection so you can iterate faster. When working collaboratively and wishing to quickly try out an idea, it’s always a hassle to detach the component and remove Auto Layouts.

The intent is to have accessibility considerations included during the design phase of any project and to help with the designer-developer collaboration.
