Yesterday I took over @figmadesign's instagram with some Professor Figma 1:1 aspect ratio videos. Here is a thread of them since many of you cannot watch them without an IG account. Enjoy:

🔥 @figmadesign tip — on a Mac you can set custom Keyboard shortcuts for your fav Figma Plugins!

Under System preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts; add Figma and the name of the plugin (as it appears in the menu bar), and whatever shortcut you want.🥳 #FigmaTip pic.twitter.com/xurtBIQtmg

til in @figmadesign: @miggi and I discovered that you can use gifs as MASKS in Figma. Like what?! 🤯 #figmatip

A few things I wish I had known earlier on for working in @figmadesign—I hope one or more of these can be helpful to someone out there! 🙏

1) Hold ⌘ + drag a frame to resize it to ignore any of the constraints set for the items inside. ↔️

Our #components in @figmadesign just got an update, variants for:
- Default (preview)
- States (hover, pressed, etc)
- Lazy loading (skeleton/loaders)
- Responsive design (sm, md, lg)
- Redlines for engineers pic.twitter.com/9YznsuIWMw

You should always name your layers and use this @figmadesign shortcut to help out. Learn along with #professorfigma pic.twitter.com/khDUNvd3ww

Many of us may already know this shortcut, but just wanted to share in case it's helpful for any designer who's newer to @figmadesign! Double clicking on the edge of a text box will quickly allow you to set its size to be Auto Width, saving you a few seconds of work each time. ↔️ pic.twitter.com/PBUN8oLySE

🔥 Hot #FigmaTip: using 180° rotation to change layers order in @figmadesign Auto Layout. pic.twitter.com/XTvq2QsB5S

Hey, guess what?

You can now open multiple prototypes from different pages at the same time on the desktop app.

If you use Auto Layout in @figmadesign, I wanted to quickly share the difference between using Packed & Space Between, which for me, has been one of the most useful and helpful features when building components! ↔️ pic.twitter.com/eDfijFpQdn

🤩 @figmadesign ' s new white boarding tool, FigJam launches today! I’m glad to be able to contribute in this huge team effort by leading the design of the toolbar.https://t.co/UefioYx2ie

I’ll be updating this thread on some of the process and design details 👇 https://t.co/3Qlzf79IhP pic.twitter.com/PJ49TNIJnN

In case you missed it: we launched FigJam today at Config!

There are a lot of product detail tweets out there and also in our talk: https://t.co/5CKXXxC94k

One rewarding thing, personally however, has been reflecting on what I’ve learned from it and the people I learned from:

FigJam💙
I like a lot the fact that @figmadesign decided to use the color Blue instead of Red for the "dislike" option

It's always hard to give & receive negative feedback, and choosing a more positive color really makes things easier for feedback/collaboration#FigmaConfig2021 pic.twitter.com/EwjEWLbdU1

FigJam Tip! Hot off the Press!

You can copy paste a variant into FigJam from Figma.
As long as a component library is published to your team*
