Why Food Is Such a Big Part of the Hindu Temple Experience in AmericaFood and Hindu temples are deeply connected, and if you visit a temple in the United States without trying what is being offered, you are missing one of the most genuine parts of the experience. Hindu temple food USA is not just about satisfying hunger. It is about community, gratitude, and tradition. Understanding the role food plays makes your visit significantly richer.What Is Prasad and Why Is It Offered to VisitorsPrasad is the sanctified food offered to the deity during prayers and then distributed to everyone present. It is considered blessed, and accepting it is a gesture of goodwill between the devotee and the divine. Common prasad items in American Hindu temples include laddoo, a sweet made from chickpea flour an

API Error: 400 Invalid JSON schema: regex lookaround is not supported. Found at $.properties.fileKey.pattern. I am using Claude Code with the company's proxy API key to invoke a Figma plugin for frontend development. It was working fine yesterday, but today, calling the Figma plugin triggers the exception shown above.I’d like to know if anyone has encountered this situation before—is this an issue thrown by the Figma plugin, or is it a problem with the intermediary API key I’m using?

Our team is noticing that our main design system library is having hundreds of changes flagged in the publishing panel, even after a weekend of not working on the library. The panel shows what’s modified, removed, or added, but isn’t clear what the changes are or what caused them. It’s scary publishing these types of updates because they aren’t coming from our team. Is this something being caused by Figma? How can we feel comfortable publishing so many changes when we weren’t even the ones making them? 

I'm researching food delivery app interfaces and noticed that many platforms focus heavily on adding features, while users seem to care more about speed, simplicity, and convenience.For designers and product teams who have worked on food delivery platforms:What are the most important UI/UX principles when you build an app like Swiggy? Which design patterns improve order completion rates the most? If you were to create an app like Swiggy today, what would you do differently from existing apps? What are the most common UX mistakes made during Swiggy app development? How can a food delivery startup app create a memorable user experience without overwhelming users? Have you seen a Swiggy alternative app introduce a unique interface or workflow that genuinely improved usability? When you design an app like Swiggy, which screens deserve the most user testing and iteration?I'm particularly interested in p

Hello!I have a button set with icon placeholders. The icons reference components from the PrimeIcons community file. According to the instructions in that same file, I need to publish these icons as library components in my project, but the Publish button in the panel is disabled (greyed out).What could be the reason for this?

I'm so sick of this！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by. I’m late to be learning Figma Slides. Currently stuck with something that surely shouldn’t be hard to do.I’m want to delete some text styles from a Figma Slides template but the delete button is greyed out in the main menu and there isn’t one when i select a text style to open the context menu.Strange? As do the same process to delete a colour there is a delete button in the context window.Am I missing something?    

First to use the Figma agent. Just started the conversation, then it says, “something went wrong”. And it keeps showing when trying to re-enter the request.Support ID: ca304826-2ce7-4077-a6a0-3db2f68e7174

Hi! Apparently I pressed some keyboard shortcut and the names of my frames became very small. They are like this in all files, nothing helps to bring everything back.Please help me fix this  

My Figma Make account seems to be monthly billing while at payment we selected annual billing.

I am not able to rotate gradients when I add the swatches from the Variables, however if they are not linked to the variables there’s no issue.

Curious how others approach mobile carousels in native apps, especially in regulated industries like healthcare.We're debating whether a carousel with promotional/discovery content should include visible Previous/Next arrows in addition to swipe and pagination, or whether swipe + "See all" is sufficient.Part of the discussion is driven by accessibility requirements, and our Accessibility PM comes primarily from a web accessibility background, which adds an interesting perspective.How would you approach this in a native mobile app? Would you include arrows, or rely on swipe + See all? Interested in both UX and accessibility viewpoints.

Hi! During the opening keynote at Schema 2025 (on October 28), the Figma team announced a new left navbar as part of the updated UI, mentioning it would start rolling out the following week.It’s been a few weeks since then, and I’ve already received an app update, but I still don’t see that new sidebar.Is the rollout still in progress, or is there something I need to do to enable it? Thanks!

Hi All,I've completed two UX projects and am currently working on my third. However, despite applying for roles, I'm not receiving many interview calls or job offers.I'd love feedback on:• Case study structure and storytelling• UX process and research presentation• Visual design and UI quality• Portfolio presentation• Areas that may be preventing recruiters from shortlisting meI'm looking for constructive criticism and suggestions on how I can improve as a designer.https://www.behance.net/vincyvarghese3Thank you for your time and feedback! 

Hi Figma team,I'd like to request a per-account option to disable the AI sparkle (✦) icon that appears when hovering over elements in the editor.Currently, the only way to turn off Figma AI features is at the team admin level, which requires admin access and affects all team members. There's no way for an individual user to opt out of the AI hover trigger on their own account.For users who don't use Figma AI, this icon adds visual noise to the editing experience and can interfere with the workflow — especially when working with dense layers or small elements, where the sparkle icon overlaps with other controls.Requested behavior: add a toggle in user account preferences (e.g. Account Settings → Editor preferences) to show/hide the AI sparkle icon on hover, independently from team-level AI settings.Thank you for con

When designing digital products in Figma, most of the focus naturally goes to usability, visual design, user flows, and prototyping. However, one area that often gets overlooked in early design stages is security thinking, especially how design decisions can impact system vulnerabilities later in development.As more designers work on SaaS platforms, dashboards, and apps that handle sensitive user data, a question arises:Should UX/UI designers consider security testing (like penetration testing) as part of the product design lifecycle?While penetration testing is usually handled by developers or security teams, many security issues actually originate from early design decisions, such as:Authentication and login flow design Password reset and account recovery flows User permission and role structures Data input and form handling design API-driven features and third-party integrations

Hello,When I import images into a FigJam board, they don’t retain their original size.This is especially noticeable when importing multiple screenshots. They are not placed on the canvas at their original pixel dimensions, which makes it difficult to compare them accurately. Some images appear larger or smaller than others, even though I need them to keep their original size.I couldn’t find a setting or workflow that ensures images are imported at their original dimensions.Is there a way to import images into FigJam while preserving their original pixel size?

Hi guys, I subscribed to figma not because I just wanted to use Figma Make. I thought the AI worked for designs as well, just like https:sleek.design, but unfortunately for me, what is made, can’t be edited on Figma Design. How do I cancel this subscribtion. It’s been taking almost £22 from my account monthly - no matter what I do.Many thanks.Abe

Hey there! This is the follow-up to my older reply about Figma vs browser font rendering. Can’t update that topic, but eager to share some new case.

Hi, I have an in-person ticket, but unfortunately I won’t be able to pick up my badge myself. Would it be possible for someone else to pick up the badge on my behalf? If so, could you let me know:what information or authorization is required and which email/contact I should notify in advanceThank you so much for your help!

Hello,I'm having a problem with the text tool. There's a sort of line across the text block, and part of it is invisible. When I test with shorter text, there's no problem. I reopened some old drafts I made six months ago and discovered that this line is now present in the text blocks... I don't understand what's happening. Does anyone have any ideas?Here's a screenshot of my problem.  

Hi,  one of the biggest advantages when usings slots for me is the ability to slot in not only component instances, but any arbitrary figma objects like frames or text. However, when using the native UI by clicking the plus icon button, it is suddenly only possible to select and slot only component instances:  I’m trying to understand why this behavior happens - is there any good reason for this? Is Figma just not able to search for entire objects on the page because it’s too much? --- What I am particularly trying to achieve is another step towards design-code parity. In code, we use properties. If these properties are empty, then nothing happens and the property itself does not materialize itself in the UI and occupy space. In Figma you can

This is a strange one. See the attached video for an example of what is happening.I have a white label design system with the “brands as modes” approach. In the example video, I have applied 3 different brand’s modes to the 3 different sections. When I copy/paste directly into a frame of a brand with a darker colored navigation bar surface color (which uses inverted variants of the navigational buttons), the label for some reason resets. Both the regular and the inverted variants of the original button component has the same text property applied to the label. As you can also see, if I drag it directly from a frame into the “inverted” brand, the label stays intact.Bug?
