The mindmap is a critical feature in figjam and it requires a lot of improvements but at least these 2:collapsible trees better shortcuts (tab to move a node, enter to add a branch...)

Well, according to some earlier forum posts, Figma clearly has no plans to launch a Linux app. I don’t personally mind using it in a browser, but local fonts don’t work. Could we at least get a Fonts Helper for Linux, if not the full app? Thanks.

it’s a bit uncomfortable when i do have a prompt, and the system automatically force me to follow the answer generation in figma make. i want to read the start of the answer directly even before the answer is fully generated. i think this little improvement will be  very helpful, thanks!

Proposed FeatureAdd a status bar toggle in the design panel for mobile frames. When a default device frame is created, designers should be able to switch the matching status bar on or off without searching files, copying components, or rebuilding status bars manually.This removes the need for standalone status bar components in the layers panel. As long as the frame matches official device dimensions, the design panel shows the status bar toggle and applies the correct, up to date version automatically. This would cut setup time in early design stages and keep files cleaner.:) Feel free to comment and share your thoughts on this feature idea.  Further Improvements to the toggle• Automatic color inversion so the status bar keeps proper contrast on any background, similar to real devices• Controls to adjust status bar elements like the camera, microphone and location indicators

Hey there, I did a short course about landing pages and I am super new at this, I created a first idea of a landing page with some interactions and I need feedback about how to improve as ui designer having this example of what i did as a base. I am taking the beginner course of figma.  

There’s only a handful of color styles I use very often. But I always have to search/scroll past all the ones that aren’t useful. Having a way to sort the color picker by recent would be a game changer for speed and productivity, ideally it would persist till the user changes it. Could probably use an icon button to the left of the grid vs list view.

Can we add “move/add to a file” link so we can do that easily for files in drafts? Maybe put a link next to Drafts. I am not trying to go to the Drafts file at this point when I’m moving files. Every time I click the folder or Drafts link I get taken to back to home to that folder and that is never my intention with this action. 

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this Copying text from figma that has shift+enter line spacing introduce unusual line terminator character. This usual character will display on some web browsers. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Create any text layer Enter any text then force line separator using shift+enter Copy text and check using tools like unicode detector https://www.textmagic.com/free-tools/unicode-detector and you will see an invalid unicode character. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc. Clean up manually using text editor like visual studio code.

It would be great if the code panel would also be visible in the Component playground in Dev Mode. I understand the importance of restricting developers from making changes to the design, which is why we have the Component playground. However, developers might also need to inspect a component in various states, not just the state initially set by me. This feature would greatly benefit developers by reducing the need to navigate back and forth between views, pages, or files. I was envisioning something like this: Thanks!

Design documents open with the page panel closed by default. This is also true for the viewer role and the dev mode. I notice that stakeholders who view our design files have difficulty opening this. This takes us a lot of time to explain each time. Now we have an explanation on our cover page of how it works to open this. I think it actually makes sense if the page panel is open by default. Especially because Figma itself also gives advice on how to divide the design file with multiple pages. If a functionality is so default in use, it must also be open by default. How are you experiencing this?

As a developer with read-only access, I don’t have any means to know/access what the Max lines should be for this text. (which from designer is set to 3)

WishlistI want to have CMS in Figma Design as well to manage content efficiently and consistently. 😎 Figma Docs – an improved way to document styles, behaviour, decisions, animations, and much more. 📝 I want to have the interaction 'Open overlays' in Figma Sites, so that I can display drawer navigations and popups. Be able to save animations as “styles”, so I easily can apply same animation and update once. Be able to set ‘Accessibility tags’ on components in Figma Design, so I don't have to do that after I've imported components to Figma Sites. When I copy frames from Design and paste them into Sites, it sets the height from 'Hug' to 'Fixed'. 😔 Please keep the autolayout on frames height when pasting. Better performance on published Sites, right now it takes several seconds to load a page, and there is no loading indication. Grid layout to support Hug and Fill. Variable support for Hug and Fill. Autolayout on ‘Sections’. Components work well in Figma Design but become buggy when im

 I've been here for two days, this service looks good and easy to use. I just want to mention two things. When you download the code, the App.tsx file isn't downloaded, and second, the utils.ts file should be generated in /lib/utils.ts to avoid compilation errors. Well, that's all. Regards.

We use Figma a lot for client presentations and to showcase video snippets. We recently discovered the figjam workaround to embed videos in the Edit View, but its not possible to rescale those Widgets from FigJam and more annoyingly the are not playable in the prototype/presentation view. There is a Plugin called YouTube and Vimeo from Ampier, but its also not working in presentation view…but has more than 45k user…there is a need for it 😉 Pleeeease let us embed Youtube/Vimeo Videos in Figma nativly and also play those videos when presenting. Vote here so that this gets some visbility

Would love if the conditional statement could include IF // IF ELSE instead of just IF // ELSE

I want to share my own experience and I think having the option to collapse all frames and groups at once is very important because it is very annoying to close all groups one by one when you have a lot of them.

Please correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe there’s anyway to disable the snap to grid with a keyboard shortcut. Typically in programs I’ve used, you can disable snapping by holding CTRL or ALT. Since ALT has the functionality of duplicating the selected item, it would be nice if holding CTRL then could be used to prevent items from snapping to the grid when dragging them. Thank you+1

I’m super excited to be using native variables in Figma; however, there are couple of glaring holes. Identifying an EM scale for text (maybe this will come with Font Variables support) Need to be able to reference an existing Variable (an Alias) and be able to do math on it; for instance, if Spacer = 20px, i would like to be able to reference {spacer}/2 to get 10px without changing the parent value

Super awesome, finally it is here!Feature request: When connected to a full page, it would be great if it could also update other components based on which item in the collection is currently active.

The new variables feature is great! But I’m asking you to add an ability to assign String variables to Text props of component instances. My use case I have a generic component “header” in my company’s design system that can be used with any text. I insert the instance as a part of my specific design frame for iOS. A UX Writer edits the header text. Then, I create a frame for the same screen for Android, Desktop and Mobile Web. In total, I have 4 screens with the same header. Now if the UX writer decides to change the text inside the header instance, they have to copy paste it 4 times. I’d like to solve the sync problem and the need to maintain consistency manually. I wanna make a String variable “screen-1-header” for example, and bind it with the Text property of the “header” instance. BUT as far as I see, Figma doesn’t allow it at the moment, which is sad. I can assign a variable to a text layer that is not a part of a component, but I don’t like the idea of detaching instances from

I’m considering hiring offshore developers for an upcoming project, but I’m unsure about the best approach. There are so many agencies and platforms claiming to provide top talent, yet I keep hearing mixed feedback from people who’ve tried it before. Some say it’s a great way to save money and access specialized skills, while others mention challenges with communication, time zones, and maintaining quality. I’d like to hear from people who have real experience in this area — how did it work out for you, and what would you do differently if you had to hire offshore developers again?

Whenever we copy text from one place and paste it into another text frame, it carries over its own formatting (size, style, etc.). But I want the pasted text to automatically adopt the formatting of the destination text frame. Currently, the copied text’s properties override the destination formatting, which is not ideal.This isn’t a bug, but it feels like behaviour that needs improvement. In most practical scenarios, users copy text because they want to replace the content not the styling. If someone actually wants to preserve the copied text's formatting, they can apply it manually. But by default, it makes more sense for the pasted text to follow the formatting of the target text frame. Can this be fixed?

What is meant by Figma Sites CMS not being available until late 2025 actually mean? I am having to explore other CMS solutions, as a result of the CMS not being available, only after having created a pretty extensive design system for an internal site, components, blocks, and templates. Any update would be extremely helpful.
