“Even figma is an out dated tool at this point, company’s only want live outputs from Claude code or codex, you already know design.. now use the most efficient and desirable/employable tool.”
“Figma ist gut und kann echt viel, aber oft nicht logisch im Sinne eines Adobe Users. Figma ist erstmal echt mühsam. Habe schon so manchen Wutanfall unterdrücken müssen und Kopfschütteln ist an der Tagesordnung, aber was hilft es.”
“Figma is fun, it’s fast and becoming the Adobe killer regarding Illustrator by the day, I’m rooting for them to nudge adobe out of the market, but truly unless you’re doing large-scale websites you can do splash pages and small scale websites with Illustrator/Indesign + some AI coding agents help.”
“I've been doing print design for years (InDesign, Illustrator, mostly brochures, flyers and corporate collateral) and I'm starting to move into Figma. I don't want to learn every feature and end up as another generic "UI/UX designer", so I'm trying to pick a lane early.”
“colors are the part that flattens hardest in this migration. figma pulls hexes in as local styles, so you lose the role layer (surface / on-surface / primary / muted) and then every new screen guesses again.”
“The client will only get shared a prototype, while the developer will get access to the full annotated Figma file. I find the extra work tends to be negligible and saves a lot of later discussion!”
“I've always had to communicate with developers, product managers and non-technical stakeholders (such as customer support or managers) using Figma and there's always some tension regarding excess or lack of information, have you ever had this problem?”
“If Figma is the source of truth, define tokens and component names there, then let Claude generate implementation changes from selected nodes. Changes made directly in code still need an explicit reconciliation step.”
“Yes, I modified a UI/react kit in figma & added a more robust iconography kit because the UI kit was lacking. Modified the kit to match my branding and preferences.”
“Figma stays for what code is bad at, exploring fast and making something to react to before anyone commits. The thing management underestimates is that a design system in Figma is a shared vocabulary for arguing about patterns, not just documentation.”
“I present the final screens with the interactions, relationship between buttons and screens that they lead to, but no animations since they will change or be different in final product and it takes a lot of time to resolve them in figma.”
“Do you create a presentation? Walk through the interfaces directly in Figma? Show a Figma prototype, or maybe create a more polished prototype with Claude?”
“I got tired of fixing ERD connector lines every time I moved a table in Figma. If you’ve ever tried designing system specs or technical data models in Figma, you probably know the pain.”
“Strangely, the Figma document that Apple published looks much better (doesn't use the translucent glass-like look for window controls) https://www.figma.com/community/file/1651309434229735362/macos-27”
“Hi - my access to our design contractors Figma board where several design iterations & date-stamped comments/replies as well as final design blueprint details will expire at the end of the month. Is there any way I can save each stage of the project to a PDF for reference (especially comment history).”
“Claude Design vs Figma AI: I Designed the Same Web Page With Both https://uxplanet.org/claude-design-vs-figma-ai-i-designed-the-same-web-page-with-both-bf2a3712f980?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter”
“Then there’s Figma itself - built-in AI features, Make, Agents, integrations, and at the same time Figma can also be connected to tools like Claude through MCP/plugins.”
“Hello guys i didn't open figma or anything related to this for a month because of some occupations , there is any news should i know before diving into it again ?”
“Figma has a special name for all these objects — nodes. Frames, sections, pages, and documents (the thing within a file that holds all of its contents) are nodes. Behind the scenes the nodes all belong to a hierarchical tree-like structure that in some ways mirror the hierarchical view you see in the sidebar.”
“But every time I ever tried to use it in the past, I would get immediately frustrated and find my own workarounds to get the shapes I needed. So I'm going to drop the link to the video that finally made it click for me this morning for the other designers who've never really felt any confidence with the pen tool either.”
“I generally try to come up with a concept and use Make to double check myself, going back to the original needs and see if it solves it the same way or includes things I didnt think of or makes me think of things differently. But even from the start and pure concepting I'm always prototyping.”
“Realistic prototypes to test concepts that would require otherwise tedious or over complicated ways of prototyping with Figma in the traditional way.”
“I kinda use it sometimes to recreate layers from an image file with a prompt generated in Claude. So I have editable layers which I can take to Figma”
“So instead of keeping behavior in Claude and visual accuracy in Figma as two separate sources, the prototype itself can stay interactive while still being built around the same components and tokens.”
“You could enhance your prototypes with a handoff sidebar like Zeplin or Figma Dev mode that calls out the components in use, token settings, and notes.”
