TIL that you can scope where your variables show up in the UI to prevent the wrong styles being applied to various parts of your design.

(I have been very guilty of using spacing variables for border radii)
At long last, horizontal layer scrolling is here.
TIL (⌘⌥A) + (⌘R) can be an efficient way to select matching layers across artboards in a section and rename them in one step:
Updated the warpcast UI kit.
It’s not perfect by any means but a fun project ;)

supposed to be a useful update, but this video is making me nothing really stays in my head lol.

Does anyone actually use branching? If so, what workflows do you include it in?
Thinking about Figma as a $750m venture-backed business with massive expectations to generate returns makes its rising usage of dark UX patterns around plans & pricing more human — and more flawed.
The one thing UI 3.0 couldn't solve. Wen horizontal scroll in layers panel? Anyone have any workarounds for viewing/selecting deep layers like this other than expanding the sidebar?
sharing a small win - one of my Figma Community files just hit 1,000 downloads! It's been over 2 years and it's a small number compared to others, but feels good anyway. Also, the FC icon asset (not designed by me, just uploaded) is almost there.

Can anyone help get me access to Figma AI?
The fact that Figma is not a full fledged app on iPad yet is borderline offensive.
Thoughts on the UI 3 update? I'm still playing with it to get adjusted, but some quick takes:
- I like the modular visual approach. There is way less UI present at a time.
- Properties panel feel more intuitive to context while designing.
- Multiplayer tools don't feel as native to the properties panel. They could be another panel or moved to the navigation panel.
- The toolbar at the bottom is an uncomfortable and new pattern. That will take some getting used to. Wish I could drag it around so it's right where I need it while designing.
- In fact, wish I could drag all the UI windows around. Really lean into that modular build.
I have been unable to export svgs in sigma for the past hour and it drives me crazy - anyone else has issues exporting?
Flides looks cool and all, but what about nondesigners needing to make decks?
Figma plugin for building Farcaster Frames is live!
now we can see IOS/Material and a basic web design system available right in the Assets tab, available in every file, massive improvement I think
Consider me fully committed to making decks in Figma from now on.
/framer has a really useful "Cycle" setting that loops through component variants without having to link each of them - wonder why Figma does not have it too? Be very useful for prototyping
This feature may change your life
I just tried using the Select Matching Layers  (⌥⌘A) feature for the first time to swap 40 icons in one click and now I feel like god. I've been sleeping on that one.
Is this a verified, official channel from Figma, inc. ?
Any Figma nerds here? :)
