Figma site so slow and interactions completely out of place or not working

When i pusblish my figma site, it is SO incredibly slow and not responsive at all. Furthermore the interactions are either moved or completely missing, when i go into my design file and run the prototype it is completely different. Also is there a prototype share link for the figma site or does it have to be published??

Is Serverless Architecture the Future of eCommerce Platforms? – Insights from Dev Technosys

Hey everyone, I’ve been reading a lot about serverless architecture and its potential in shaping the future of eCommerce platforms. With scalability, reduced infrastructure costs, and faster deployments, it seems like a solid option for businesses that want to grow without worrying too much about backend maintenance.Companies have been exploring serverless setups for eCommerce web development projects, and it got me thinking: is this really the future?On the plus side, serverless promises cost efficiency, automatic scaling during peak traffic, and less operational overhead. But on the flip side, there are concerns about vendor lock-in, debugging complexity, and whether serverless is truly reliable for high-volume, transaction-heavy eCommerce websites.So, I’d love to hear from this community:1. Do you see serverless architecture as the next big leap for eCommerce?2. Or do you think traditional cloud-hosted solutions still make more sense for stability and control?Looking forward to your

Problem aligning lines with stroke

When I draw a straight line, the coordinate of the line remains on the edge even when i set the stroke position to centre. This make it difficult to align perfectly. See this example where I am making a cross. Alignment is imperfect even when I use the align tools. You can see the bounding box of the line is on the edge rather than the centre. Can I fix this?Object aligns to the selection bounding box rather than centre of line. This is the result of align both lines with the position align options. I’m trying to make a perfect cross, this is the result.

Get CodeConnect to read variable modes.

To reduce component weight, my design system team has been exploring using variable modes to toggle between different “variants” of a component, rather than just using variants. The benefit of this is that for these “style” specific properties, where just styles are changed like fill and stroke, using modes significantly reduces the weight of a component in the system. In this example I use a Badge component, and variables to change between the colors of the badge.However, my component code still has a “color” prop. Because I don’t have a color prop on my Figma component, but rather a “BadgeColor” mode that controls this property, is there a way in which CodeConnect can still map this to the correct code property? Currently it doesn’t seem like CodeConnect can read anything that is not a property. Realistically all I need is the CodeConnect to be able to read the string value of the mode, and map that to the actual code prop.

Added annotations to main component, but those annotations are not shown if I paste that component to a frame

Accidentally, I can’t see added component annotations in any other file or page besides the one where the component was created. This makes it difficult to keep documentation centralized and to inform stakeholders about specifications.Is there any workaround to view component annotations across different Figma files?

Scaleable Layout Guide

Hello! I’m trying to create one layout guide that can be used across multiple formats. Is there a way I can scale down a layout guide without maintaining a 50px margin/ gutter, i.e. I want the grid structure to look the same at different dimensions.

Ctrl+click not working in the app?

My control button is not working in combo with my mouse, has anyone else seen this? I can do ctrl+c and open the color-picker, and I can do ctrl+cmd+m and make a mask, but if I want to ctrl+click something I can’t. So the ctrl button itself is fine, it’s just that combination that’s stopped working. And I didn’t notice how often I do this until I suddenly can’t, lol. I can right-click (using my mouse) fine, but it’s as if ctrl-click has gotten mapped to something else in Figma. And this is only in the Figma app - it works normally everywhere else, including Figma in a browser. 🤷 Anyone else done this before?

When I create a new frame, the number in the layer name is high (4M+)

Driving me coconuts! When I create a new frame, the frame will be automatically named “Frame 48095626” How do I reset the latter number to 0 or 1? This happens when I create shapes, the layer will be called “Oval 109384” or “Rectangle 12341239” I’ve tried checking and unchecking file>preferences> renaming duplicated layers.

Figma Make - How to best prompt it.

Hi, Let’s start a conversation about how best to prompt Figma Make. I can see it’s going to be a very useful tool but it has some frustrations. (e.g. Today it kept changing layouts and functions when I give it something unrelated, then it won’t revert back. It say’s it has reverted back but it hasn’t.)I find feeding it little bits at a time works best. However, sometimes I give it a big task and it doesn’t it perfectly. Like today I supplied it 6 screenshots of questions to add to a form - about 120 questions and it performed the task perfectly.What do you find works best?

Hi, I need help recovering access to my Figma files. My Figma account was linked to my university email (example@university.edu), which has been deactivated after graduation without notice. I can no longer log in, and all my design files (3+ years of work) are stuck there.I have a personal Figma account (example@gmail.com) and would love to transfer the files there if possible. The university confirmed they cannot restore the email.Is there any way Figma support can help me regain access or move the files?Thanks so much in advance!

Font Awesome in Figma Make

We are using the licensed Font Awesome in our team. Recently I started to use Figma Make but it turns all the FA icons into regular text. I have flatten the icons to shape layer before adding to Figma Make; but it’s not very sustainable for the long run. Has anyone managed to connect FA or any other font in the FM guidelines?

Looking for some design help with existing slides

Hi,I have an existing project with five slides that I think can look much better than it does. I had another designer create my slides using the fake 3D rotation technique (my choice). They look fine but I think they can look much better! Is there anyone willing to help me out with adding some quick edits to make them look better? I will give you a shout out on my clients website as the designer of the slides and give you all of the future design work that is related to Figma if you can help me to make this particular project a winner. I have 4 more 3D slides (single slide per project) and two other new website projects that need some intro animation starting up in two weeks time. That’s 6 new Figma related projects you can do for me, paid of course.

Figma Admin and File Owner But Can't Change File Access

I’m a Figma Admin and was given ownership of a file but I’m unable to change access (view, edit, owner) to someone else? I keep getting a message saying “You don’t have permission to do that. Contact Your Team Administrator.” What can I do?   I have a full seat and my edit access  says “All” to both projects and files.
