“Rendition is the best way to hand off code to your developer. It’s a Figma+Github plugin that will write UI code for you from designs. Rendition speeds up the time it takes to implement designs by automating the boring parts of front-end development. It also syncs designs from code back into Figma, allowing you to easily work off of the latest designs.“

Figma improved copy and paste to make it more consistent and predictable. Now you can replace selected objects with another object that you’ve copied to your clipboard (⇧⌥⌘V or Shift-Ctrl-Alt‑V), paste an object into multiple frames or groups simultaneously, and paste at the cursor location. To see how it all works, check out a playground file. (Figma launched this feature with a different shortcut, but changed it after listening to the community feedback.)
