“With the introduction of Apple's foldable phone, will app design for iOS change a lot in Figma? For example, will we have to make two seperate designs, one for a "normal" iPhone and one for the foldable one or how will that work out?”
“Hi @figma I'm having a problem where I can't publish any library updates. Is there something broken on your end? I don't have any errors in the library but I click "pubilsh" and don't get the "Publishing 1/x" toast and nothing gets updated.”
“Gotcha. So by rebuild you mean that the DS created the figma comps in code using Claude, copying the same names/classes that exists in the real code base?”
“Figma is dated at this point, it's a vector graphics tool that often does things that appear to be the same as code, but they are definitely not and require a translation layer (often just a human). For example, Figma's auto-layout is not actually flexbox under the hood, it just mimics it.”
“Companies like Figma should really make educational versions of their products where the AI tools can be turned off by an admin so students can't use them.”
“My own use has fallen from four hours to two, but the tool remains a flexible, user-friendly tool for controlled iteration on details. Subscription costs are low for commercial companies. I see no reason to cancel plans for companies while it serves a purpose for at least two hours a week.”
“so now i spend the time on the design system and the edge cases, and i keep the happy path in figma light. the handoff doc turned into "here are the rules", not "here is the picture"”
“I actually thought I was in Figma at first, which made me less compelled to look through it lol. Like oh this guy just lazily threw a Figma project together instead of built out a portfolio. It is a sick idea though.”
“I’ve been building design spec files in HTML format that’s both human and machine readable using Claude and Figma MCP. The file is one of the inputs for our SDD harness.”
“This guy fixed the BIGGEST issue for those who use both Figma and Illustrator in between design projects and keep switching between them! Mindblown at how well it works”
“For handoff, I organized the Figma file from the simplest happy path to the more complex scenarios. Developers could follow the logic, inspect the designs and ask questions when something wasn’t clear.”
“I could be wrong but a hiring manager, who is tasked with finding new UX-Designers, might've never used Figma once in their lives and I can imagine they would be extremely confused.”
“Been using Figma AI in my workflow too. It’s great for getting that first 60–70% done quickly, but I still find myself doing a fair bit of manual cleanup around consistency and smaller details.”
“If you are pitching yourself as a Product Designer who skips Figma and vibecodes prototypes to production, classic UX hiring managers are likely filtering you out. They want to see user research, problem framing, and edge-case wireframing, not AI-assisted frontend deployment.”
“Companies have budget for people who build products. They cut budget for people who output Figma files. You wrote that you vibecode designs to production and skip Figma.”
“Figma use completely changed for me since Claude Code and Figma's usefigma MCP functionality came out. Sometimes I even skip Figma completely when I'm doing the initial prototype... It has boosted my productivity by several orders of magnitude.”
“been working on https://figmint.dev to handle this whole handoff. The agent can wire whatever screen comes from figma. lmk if you’re willing to try it out.”
“2、From an engineering perspective, use Figma Webhooks to proactively notify your server when there are design updates. The server can then automatically update the corresponding components.”
