FinTech is a massive industry in the UK, and finding a specialist mobile app development company in the UK for finance-related apps can be a game-changer. But do niche developers really offer that much of an advantage? In this thread, we’ll debate whether niche companies deliver better security, compliance, and scalability than generalist agencies. If your project involves payments, KYC, or FCA-regulated functionality, let’s talk about what to look for in a mobile app development company in the UK.

Hi everyone! 👋I design high-load interfaces for the B2B and B2E segments, where working with large tables is pretty much a daily task. Populating such tables manually is inconvenient and takes a lot of time.I’ve tried various plugins that generate test data, but most of the solutions I tested had one critical limitation — you can’t easily generate multiple types of data at once. I had to do it step by step: first, select text layers in one column to generate names, then move to another column to generate emails and then phone numbers… This process really slows down the workflow.That’s why I came up with the idea to create a plugin that automates table population and saves time.That’s how Mirage Data Generator was born — a plugin that helps quickly insert test data into tables and groups of similar elements.Key Features of the plugin: Works with any groups of similar elements: table rows, cards and lists. Supports various formats for names, phone numbers, email domains, dates, and ad

Hi everyone,I’ve been working closely with AI systems and agent-based architectures lately, and one topic that keeps coming up in discussions with founders, developers, and product teams is the cost to build an AI agent. Many people are excited about AI agents because of their ability to automate tasks, analyze data, and make decisions autonomously, but budgeting for these systems is often misunderstood.From a development perspective, building an AI agent is not just about connecting an AI model to an interface. It usually involves designing an entire ecosystem that includes data pipelines, model orchestration, infrastructure, integrations, and monitoring systems. Because of this, the cost to build an AI agent can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the project.I thought it might be useful to share some insights from the perspective of an AI developer working in this space.Why the Cost to Build an AI Agent Varies So MuchOne of the biggest misconceptions is that AI agents

Hey folks,This started as one of those late curiosity driven experiments and kind of snowballed, so I figured I’d share it here and see what people think.I’ve been building and maintaining design systems for a long time, and at some point I noticed something that felt off. Not the complexity. The repetition. Every new product or team, I’d find myself rebuilding the same foundations again. Tokens, components, variants, states, docs scaffolding. Different names, different flavors, but structurally… almost identical.At some point I asked myself why I was still assembling all of this by hand.So I tried a small experiment. I built a Figma plugin that generates design system foundations directly on the canvas using the plugin API. Instead of drawing components first, the idea was to produce them programmatically and then iterate from there.Nothing fancy visually yet. This is very much about structure and behavior, not eye candy.In the short video below, the plugin creates a basic component,

Hey everyone,Just launched SVGenius on Figma Community - a plugin for generating SVG illustrations using AI directly in Figma.Built it to solve a problem I kept running into: finding unique illustrations takes forever, stock libraries feel generic, and creating from scratch or waiting on illustrators is slow.Features:Generate SVG illustrations from text prompts in under 60 seconds 40+ preset styles (hand-drawn, neon glow, 3D, retro-futurism, minimalist, etc) Create custom styles to match your brand Upload reference images to generate in a specific style Upload your color palette One-click insert to canvas Generation history with batch operations (insert multiple at once, export as ZIP, reuse prompts/styles)Pricing: Pay-per-credits model with 5 free generations to test it out. Credit packs range from $12 to $329.Would love to hear your feedback or answer any questions!Figma Community: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1585442932233795342

Just moved my simple UX design portfolio website from a CMS over to Figma Sites. It’s a bit of a learning curve, but pretty impressed with the functionality so far! I’m used to designing and developing my own websites and themes from scratch using a CMS, so my expectations are pretty high.Some stray observations:First off, this is labeled a beta and it definitely is. I wouldn’t use this for anything beyond simple personal sites or prototypes as of yet. Getting custom fonts to work took some trial and error. Google Fonts / Adobe Fonts aren’t yet supported, so you have to upload your own WOFF files.  Responsive design works really well, but auto layout + fill must be used properly. You can set up components and text styles like normal and then assign them to specific breakpoints, but managing each one can be finicky. CMS functionality works well, but is pretty limited right now. For example, no way to display a random set of posts or set custom cropping for images. Password protection is

Tint and Shade Generator As someone who works on design systems, I kept wasting time on something that should be instant: generating a full color palette from a single base color.The Real ProblemHere is what building a color palette actually looks like without a proper tool:You pick a base color You manually create 8 to 10 lighter and darker variations You eyeball the steps and hope they look consistent You create each color style in Figma one by one A week later the brand color changes and you redo all of it Your design tokens are now out of sync with what is in FigmaThis is the part of design system work nobody talks about because it is unglamorous. But it eats real time.What the Plugin Actually DoesOne thing that is different: it does not just show you the colors. It creates the Figma color styles for you in one click. You go from a single hex value to a complete, named, production-ready palette inside your Figma file without touching the styles panel.Everything else:Color MathTints

Hey everyone, sharing something I built because I kept running into the same frustration.A11y - Smart Color Contrast CheckerEvery contrast checker I tried would flag a failure and stop there. I'd spend 10 minutes manually tweaking lightness until something passed WCAG AA.So I added one thing to solve that: when your color fails, the plugin shows you the nearest passing color and lets you apply it in one click. Same hue and saturation, just enough lightness adjustment to cross the threshold.Everything else is pretty standard:Auto-detects the actual background behind your text (handles nested frames, auto-layout, overlapping layers) Shows exact contrast ratio with AA and AAA pass/fail Exports a report frame to your canvas with hex values and compliance badges for handoffIt's free, no account needed.Would genuinely appreciate feedback from anyone who does accessibility work regularly. What's missing? What would make this more useful in your actual workflow?[Plugin link]

As someone who designs primarily in Figma, I often faced the frustrating choice: compromise on print quality or break my workflow to use InDesign. Print Layout plugin solves this dilemma by bringing professional print capabilities directly into Figma. The Real Problem It Solves Here's the situation many Figma users face: You create beautiful designs in Figma, but when it's time to print, you either:Export a basic PDF and hope for the best (often disappointed) Learn InDesign just for print prep (time-consuming and expensive) Outsource the print preparation (costly and slow) Print Layout eliminates this workflow break. What Print Layout Brings to Figma Professional Print SetupFinally, you can create proper print documents in Figma with margins, bleed, and crop marks. Business cards, flyers, and posters now have the same professional setup you'd expect from dedicated print software. CMYK Color ControlThis is the game-changer. See how your RGB colors will actually print, and adjust CMYK va

Hey Figma folks — quick reality check question.I’m seeing more teams use AI-assisted steps (idea generation, asset creation, quick variations, copy, etc.) inside the design process. The problem is: when AI touches even one step, it gets surprisingly hard to answer:“What did the human actually create?”…and in a collab, who deserves credit / payment for what?I’d love to hear real workflows (not theory). If you’ve dealt with any of these, can you reply with what you do?1) The “client/legal” momentHave you ever been asked (by a client, manager, platform, or teammate)“Is this AI?” / “Can you prove your process?” What did you show them (versions, file history, screenshots, docs, Loom, etc.)? 2) The messy collaboration momentIn a multi-person file, when AI is involved, how do you handle credit/payment? Split evenly? “Who did the final layout wins”? Track changes/versions? Something else? 3) The Figma-native questionWhat’s the minimum evidence trail you wish Figma had built-in for AI-ass

I realised I was wasting the first 15-20 minutes of every single project just typing out "Cover", "Wireframes", "Handoff", and making those little --------- divider pages.So I built a free plugin called File & Page Template Creator to speed up this processWhat it does: Extract & Save: You can take a file structure you already use and click "Save current layout" to turn it into a reusable template. 1-Click Setup: Open a blank Figma file, pick your saved template, and it instantly generates your entire page structure. Defaults included: I included a few standard templates like an Agency Handoff and a Jira Epic Tracker to get you started. 🔗 Here is the free community link: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1604649360345670631I'd love to hear your feedback or if there are any specific page structures your team uses that I should add to the defaults!

The field of user experience offers exciting prospects for research as AI develops. Although AI is very good at processing data, consumers frequently find it difficult to understand its results, which might result in a simplification loop.As we move towards chatbot-style interfaces, it becomes increasingly important to embrace UX in a No-UI environment. Instead of concentrating only on aesthetics, designers are creating engaging conversational experiences. The focus now is on using speech and text to create emotionally resonant, intuitive, and captivating encounters. As a result of this progression, UX designers now play a wider range of roles, including language design, integrating user feedback, skilfully handling errors, creating microcopy, and creating adaptive systems that can be used in a variety of user contexts.Following guiding principles that guarantee efficient and user-centred design becomes crucial as the work of UX designers changes to meet these new expectations.

Hi.I’m writing because I just saw an automatic annual renewal charge on my account about an hour ago...To be honest, I completely forgot to cancel this because I’ve been using Figma exclusively through my company’s corporate account lately. I have no need for a personal paid plan anymore and haven't used this specific account for any work since the charge happened.Since the payment was processed literally just an hour ago, could you please help me cancel this subscription and issue a full refund? It would be a huge help to me.I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you! 

The evolution of AI agents is shifting software architecture from static automation to autonomous execution systems. Unlike conventional chatbots, AI agents operate through structured reasoning loops, API orchestration layers, memory systems, and tool invocation frameworks. They are no longer conversational interfaces; they are distributed computational decision engines embedded within product ecosystems.For product designers, developers, and technical architects in the Figma community, understanding how API-first AI agents are engineered—and what it truly costs to build and scale them—is essential. The conversation must move beyond “what is an AI agent” toward “how is it architected, deployed, governed, and economically modeled?”This discussion focuses on technical architecture, infrastructure strategy, orchestration engineering, and a structured cost breakdown of AI agent development.The API-First AI Agent Architecture ModelAn API-first AI agent is designed as a service-oriented arch

I am not able to login to my Figma account as the mail id linked with my account no longer exists and I also forgot my password. I can’t reset my password since the mail id no longer exists.How can I get access to my Figma account and chage the mail id to personal mail from the college mail id so that in future there happens no issue like this.

Hi all,I built UX ContentHub, a plugin for design and content teams who manage multilingual content through Figma Variables — especially when Team Libraries are involved.The problemFigma Variables are a great foundation for multilingual design systems. The hard part is what comes after: scattered local collections, inconsistent translations, no shared structure. UX ContentHub turns that chaos into a workflow — from auditing and consolidating your local variables, all the way to publishing and maintaining a centralized string library across your entire design system.Three core capabilitiesScan & Create — Select any frame or page and convert existing text layers into structured string variables in bulk, automatically reusing existing library and local variables where possible. No manual copy-paste, no missed layers.Collection management — Audit your local variable collections: spot duplicates, orphaned variables, incomplete translations across modes, and get a health score for each c

And i do not understand why the lock is there.  3- I do not have any team members. 4- When i have bought the professional Dev mode why am I still not able to work on anything or make a new project?

Hi,I accidentally permanently deleted an important Figma design file from the Trash.I understand that normally files cannot be restored after permanent deletion, but I wanted to ask if there is any way Figma staff can check backend backups and recover it.Details:* File name:  Valor landing page* Team/Workspace: Al-amin* Approx deletion time: 02/15/2026,  9:00 PM - 9:30 PM (GMT+6)This file is critical for my work and I would really appreciate any help or guidance from the Figma team.Thank you. 

What happens if I start the organization plan with lets say 20 seats paid annually. After a month, i add 5 more seats (but these should be temporary for 2 months) and before the true-ups' due day i remove the aditional 5 seats. Would i be paying extra for 5 seats x 11 month or 5 seats x 2 months, on top of the original bill ofc.Can you help me with this?
