I stopped waiting for a fix.
I built it myself.
Yes — a full browser extension that brings back UI2 the way we all remember it. Everything just… feels like home again.
And I didn’t build this because I’m a developer with nothing to do.
I built this because I felt ignored.
A while ago, I made a post:
“UI3 mess: We never asked for this dear Figma or I should say Adobe…”
Some of you replied. It got views. It got shared.
And yet — nothing changed.
Figma never responded. No option to switch. No care.
So instead of shouting into the void, I opened my laptop and said:
Fine. I’ll fix it myself.
I’m just a guy from a third-world country who genuinely loves Figma — for the Figma that just worked!
But I do have strong opinions, decent dev skills, and apparently… a lot of free rage to convert into code.
So I poured it all into this.
UI2 — back. Functional. Familiar. Home.
But here’s the twist:
I’m not done.
I’ve had ideas for ages — like being able to customize your shortcuts.
Imagine slicing through actions with your left hand while your right hand flies the mouse — or vice versa if you’re a lefty.X for delete, C for cut, SLAY for... you get the point. (Or your own fav shortcuts.)
It’s about efficiency. Muscle memory. Flow.
Things Figma used to understand — until UI3.
But here’s the thing:
I can’t do it all for free. I wish I could.
But building takes time. And I can’t afford to burn it all without knowing you want it too.
So here’s my ask:
Would you buy it for $3 one time — own it forever?
Or should I make it totally free and hope for donations?
I’m not trying to make money.
I just want this to exist.
If enough people want it, I’ll go all in. If not, I’ll still build it — just slower.
Because UI2 isn’t just a design style.
It’s what felt right.
If UI3 works for you, cool.
But for the rest of us? UI2 was home.
And it’s time we moved back in.
The user always wins.
