First and foremost, I want to express my deep admiration for the incredible work you’ve been doing with Figma. It’s a phenomenal tool that has revolutionized how designers and developers collaborate. The platform is intuitive, powerful, and incredibly versatile, making my day-to-day significantly more productive and creative.


While I’m a huge fan of the platform, I’ve noticed an area where I believe an additional feature could make it even more powerful: the ability to modify design elements directly through Figma’s API.


Currently, the API is mostly read-only, which is fantastic for pulling data and integrating with other systems. However, the ability to make programmatic changes to a project would open up a whole new world of possibilities. Imagine, for instance, a system where users could update texts or images in a Figma design via a web form. This would enable deeper integrations with CMSs, databases, and other tools, making Figma the definitive hub for any design workflow.


I understand that implementing a feature like this could be complex and involve various considerations, especially around security and project integrity. However, I’m confident that a well-thought-out implementation of this capability could bring immeasurable benefits to the design community as a whole.


Thank you so much for considering my suggestion. I’m looking forward to seeing how Figma will continue to evolve and set the standard for collaborative design.


Wishing you all the success and creativity in the world!


Best regards,

Augusto Senna.
