Figma
Design, align, and build
Figma's craft lives in micro-details, including cursors that reveal a collaborator's tool, auto-renamed FigJam boards, and reload banners that confirm work is safe.
Key takeaways from 17 UX Bites
Copy a board named "Option 1" in FigJam and the duplicate becomes "Option 2" automatically
Pen strokes flip black to white over light backgrounds, and outlines hide while you pick a colour
Reload banners confirm work is safe, and Figma Make says you can keep working while it publishes
