This is so sad. This org helped many software engineers in Seattle find their place, for years. This is giving me a sense of foreboding for funding for orgs like these going forward.

Hey designers! We're looking for Auto layout users to test out some new functionality we've been working on! If you use Auto layout in your daily workflows and want to help us make it better, please sign up for our beta at: bit.ly/3WpWItM

Just rolled up to SF #Config2024

Presenting.......Suggest auto layout! A project that started off as an ambitious Hack Week project at Figma with @mbullington_, and the most fun graph algorithm I’ve ever worked on. (Also affectionately known internally as “auto auto layout.” 😉)

🤙

As part of this Config update, we've made some quality-of-life improvements to auto layout! 1. Hold Ctrl to ignore auto layout and position items absolutely

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered

Refresh

We take all your UI3 feedback seriously (just not ourselves) UI3, rolling out to everyone today

👀👀👀 see you there! send me your good live demo vibes!

Underline details are live today in Figma. Hit refresh on an open file if you don't see it. Just wanted you all to know.

New ways to decorate your underlines. You can now choose: → Color → Style (solid, dotted, or wavy) → Thickness → Offset

You can finally lock aspect ratio on obects in Figma! Apply it to media inside of your Auto layout components for better resizing! Tip: hold control to temporarily disable it when resizing! Let's go!!!! 🔒 it down!

this one was a fun one with a helluva journey. it started out with five lines of code and a "how hard could this be?" turns out when you're working on the guts of a 13 year old codebase... it's hard! h/t to oscar, Grant, and the rest of the team for a 💪 launch!

One of the reasons why I love working on the Editor is because we get to launch quality updates like these.

Trust me, you really don't want to miss this one!

Working at Figma is so flippin’ fun. It was a blast building grid and we can’t wait to see what you build!

A little something to take the edge off → Simplify vector → Offset vector now in Figma Draw

We just launched a brand new brush type in Figma: Scatter brushes! So proud of my incredible engineers on getting this one out the door and in your hands. I made this art using them and it was fun as hell. 1/n
