So embarrassing for InVision.
So embarrassing for any other competitor on the market :) Check out these timesaving UI assets for Figma
this could not have come at a better time. well thought out and easy to use. keep up the quality work.
This post is so great! ovo game
Goddam. Urge to switch to figma is growing. Does it have a content generation system similar to sketch (ie usernames, photos etc)? That's basically the one thing holding me back.
Not yet!
You could always make a plugin: https://www.figma.com/blog/introducing-figmas-platform/
Only GET
-requests allowed in their API right now (aside from posting comments). Hopefully they'll open it up both ways soon!
Aw thats too bad :(
I think thats been the lifeblood of Sketch, without plugins its a very limited app
Always impressed with the delivery speed of the Figma team! This is great, and something I always experience pain with in InVision. (On overlays, it's hard to get those additional actions to perform as you'd expect).
They can provide guidance on where paper io to purchase or whether there are any upcoming releases or promotions.
Please make it offline. yesterday there was some internet issue in our area, And I was not even able to make a simple svg.
Assuming everybody has fast and reliable internet is a myth. especially in developing countries.
It works quite well offline assuming you've opened it up while you are online. Company had a power outage the other day and I was able to continue working on my projects and when the internet came back up it synced everything up again.
True offline mode would be great though.
Yes. you should keep that ON. In my case, there was no internet when I switched on my PC.
Overlay in Figma came a little bit late than XD but the final solution looks nice. I especially love the usage of Multiple Overlays & Interactions on Overlays
I was working in a Figma document today and went to link some screens, when the video tutorial popped up - I was very surprised. FINALLY! No other design tool has this. We don't have to suffer anymore
Adobe XD does overlays in a similar fashion to this, and has for quite a number of months.
Maybe I'm missing some key difference between the way it's been implemented?
This is very cool. My only critique is using this system has potential to create projects with a huge number of art boards. Maybe artboards need groups or a way to filter on canvas elements. Apologies if this functionality already exists, I’m not that familiar with Figma so don’t know.
