Figma has become a standard for a reason. In the age of artificial intelligence, they are doubling down and trying to focus more on developers. I don’t like everything here, but there are some good changes and I wanted to talk about it SOURCE Check out my Twitch, Twitter, Discord more on S/O Ph4se0n3 for the great edit 🙏
They should get rid of Dev Mode
FWIW, I'm a Theo fan, but I struggle to sit through videos where he kicks things off by just reading what's on the screen (which I read faster, so it's like having two people read at once in my head); and given his format of read 1-2 paragraphs, look at camera and have an aside, it makes it tough to skip the "listening to Theo read portions" and not miss the salient points. So more often then not, I just leave. /2¢
The funniest thing is that a small, kinda static, app, like Figma thinks it's important enough to have a whole conference. Figma doesn't even have some features vizio did in like 1994… and yet they spend their time on this nonsense… the bug to get connectors in figma has been open for like 7 years…
Even as a dev I love using figma, I was going to go to the watch party for the Config event that my “Friends Of Figma” chapter was holding but ended up not going. Honestly did not expect the update to be this big and I’m pretty hyped for the new UI and the slideshow feature and CodeConnect.
So that’s why Adobe is so shit, greedy businessman designing for designers

Oh look. They shut down the gen AI.
404 media has an article about it.
„Who would habe thought we would mention C++ in a Figma Video?“ – Figma is literally written in C++ …
If they can push the AI to run in the client, this would make the cost of the AI significantly less for Figma and thus more accessible to devs that just need something to get started with.
FYI you can turn off ai content training if you go to admin > settings and scroll to the bottom. I believe they are turning on training on August 15.
Hearing a developers viewpoint on these things is just what I needed. I've always wondered how the best handovers should look like. I've been using Avocode, Zeplin, Adobe Specs and Figma / dev mode. To me most developers seem a bit distant to Dev mode.
So American to not check what product names means in different languages. Might as well call it Smegma 🙈
this is only for pro plan not for free plan?
This guy is a walking infomercial
Figma just invented GUI (git for UI)

Great Figma update synopsis !!!
There were 666 likes on this video. We can't have that, so I liked it. 667 !!
Fun fact: My girlfriend (yes, a real one) actually uses Figma to create her slides
Is AD vaguely disguised as content
Wow penpot's new UI looks so good
Ligma 3.0
Ligma is probably better.
The big thing about exporting as CSS is not that we can use the exact styles but that we can understand the layout from the CSS/dev perspective
A 25 minute ad read 🙈
