We as a team have been using FigJam for our ideation, inspiration boards, etc… similar to a Miro as you’d expect. Our team adds many screenshots (images), but multiple people in our team have brought up that with the white background of the FigJam canvas and screenshots often having white as a common background color its hard to quickly scan through images as their edges bleed into the background canvas. I’m not sure if its just our team that has found this, but the suggestion to have a stroke/outline option for images has come up, but I don’t see a way to currently do that.

I’m searching a query in Figma Community, let’s say “free icons”. Then, I scroll down to get more results. Now, I write another query to the search bar and, when I hit enter to search, the updated results are shown but the scroll position is the same, so I have to manually go up to the first results because I have a filter of “Relevancy”, so I want to see the top results first. And that becomes an obstacle for me when I’m at the very bottom of the page of my previous query.

There should be a way to more easily support prototyping an interaction where only one item in a group can be active — such as radio groups, accordion panels, or even simple navigation bars. Right now each of the items in the group need a boolean variable, and when one is clicked that item needs to be set as True and all of the other items need to be individually set to False. This is approach is manageable with a group of 3 items, but its a pain in the ass for anything over 5. Ideally, if I set one item in the Boolean Group to True, it would then set all of the other instances to False. Just like an html Radio group works.

Would love to see an item count somewhere in FigJam when multi-selecting a large group of items on the board. Would also apply to small groups of items, but an item count that tells me how many things are selected would be lovely. Thank you!

With Auto Layout, much of our designs are already responsive. Let the prototype windows be resizable like a browser. Could even offer breakpoints to switch to different component variants. I know there’s workarounds and best practices, but I’m saying it’d be best to support this behavior natively, instead of forcing people to do silly workarounds. “Best practices” needing to exist simply means that you missed the ball on building an opinionated and correct tool. <3

For example searching keyword ‘Tooltip’ here should find 2 results But only one is returned

Can we have an function to add variables in the text style? For the reason that we mockup the design with the series of medium font, while our manager wants to see the other versions with small font and large font. So, we can switch the version like the new page mode feature. 🐱

With the launch of the 'Ready for dev" flag on Sections, I want the ability to the same flag on a component directly.

Idea: 💡 Temporarily reduce or remove a user’s visibility of a file. Where it came from: I love being able to create, share and collaborate with my team on Figma but sometimes, I want to show early iteration ideas then go back into my creative bubble with no one watching what size line I draw, what font I chose etc during the iteration stage when my creative brain is exploding with various things to try likewise I have witness some users open a file and don’t contribute but because their avatar is present it looks as though they are active, I’ve also found sometimes users aren’t contributing they are simply watching, it can feel incredibly intimidating, is there a feature to temporary remove a user either by choice or after a time out if they haven’t contributed to any design.

Add a Delete option like recycle bin in ‘Recent Files’ in any bottom corner. Which can be used by just dragging unnecessary projects to the delete icon/option. This will help us to manage our projects or extra files in a more easy manner.

I want to use an expression to set the width of an object so it matches the width of another object. I imagine it to work like this: In the width property: = width of [layer] The concrete use case looks as such: For a library component in its loading state, the text is replaced with a skeleton (an animated gradient). Auto-layout doesn’t allow me to keep the width of the default state - that is determined by the text layer (hug) – when switching to the loading variant.

Prototyping connnectors can really quickly go on top of other designs and get all over the place. Letting us edit the path of the connectors with handles (in a similar way to FigJam) would make it much much easier to prototype.

It would be really cool if there is a divider for the pages, instead of making a new page and naming it “—” to be able to categorize them or like the one you do for the variable collections. <3

Figma was not running, I was playing a game, and then in the middle of urgent activity in game my game got put to tray and Figma update popup appeared on top of everything. WHAT THE HECK? Is that how you do proper UX? Interrupt whatever I’m doing and tell me that some update is available?

Hi all, I’m excited to share my very first design project with all of you. 🎉 As someone who is just starting out in the world of design, I’ve put a lot of effort into creating something that I’m proud of. However, I also understand that there’s always room for improvement, and that’s where you all come in! I`d really appreciate your feedback, thanks alot. Figma – 22 Aug 23

Hi, It would be great, while copy pasting a comment with a tagged person @, follows in the new comment. It would allow to do not have to re-tag @ people again in the new comment. I hope my feedback is helpful for Figma and users. Loïc

Can it help us add a dark mode in playground to the next version?

In the Figma plugin for Jira, when I share a link to a component, section, or frame it shows the title of the Figma file. It would be more helpful to show the title of what I am linking to so that if multiple links are in a ticket the viewer can have the additional context to tell what the link is for.

Hell, I’m trying to make it easy to select specific variables. I use a collection called “Foundations” that just store all the raw values. I use a collection called “Tokens” that store all the semantic values. When I give an fill to something, I want to be able to only select from the “Tokens” collection. It’s difficult now because “Foundations” appears first and I can’t sort it. Either that or I want to disable the ability to select things from the “Foundations” collection entirely

Prototype links get shared around by various people. Sometimes links are shared from a mid-point of a prototype by copying the url out of the address bar. This is useful for directing to a specific point of the user experience. I’d also like a share option that forces everyone to start from the same page so they are experiencing the full flow instead of jumping into a mid-point if someone unintentionally (or intentionally) shares a different url.

Sorry, but the new design is a total crap. In the previous version a was able to see a lot of list items, and toggle was perfect choice to indicate status of connection to the file. Now I can see only few files, as the unnecessary covers and vibrant buttons consumed all the place here. The button as an indicator of the connection status is very bad solution also.

We can’t group our post-its easily because there’s no artboards in FigJam. Our workaround has been to use shapes as the artboard, but its difficult to select a few post-its as it will move the frame too. We think having artboards and frames will solve this issue. Does anyone else experience this? Do you guys think artboards would help?

I want to reuse FigJam modules between files, such as the timeline of a big project, listing main Figma files, overal customer journey maps,… Now I have to copy paste to multiple FigJam board each time I want to update the module. Of course we can use linking modules but it is not good for collabs.

We add external hyperlinks to inline and standalone text in our Figma UI designs. Both our UX/UI and Frontend teams prefer this to another way of specifying hyperlinks in our designs. Pain points: Clicking hyperlinks always sends us to the external pages. In Dev-Mode the only way to copy the hyperlink in a text is to open the hyperlink in browser and copying the link from browser’s address bar. Possible solutions: Clicking hyperlinks in design and dev mode opens a little info with the actual hyperlink and the option to copy or open it (e.g. similiar to the edit hyperlink function in design mode) Or: Include hyperlinks in the inspect panel

When you get sent a link to a Figma page and you click on it and you’re not logged in, the landing page doesn’t provide a log in button, instead the main action button (the big black one) is the button to create an account… do you guys really expect more hits on specific links to require a new account over a simple login. it’s a small annoyance at best, but the fact that there’s no “keep me logged in” options means that you’ll be logging in quite frequently on Figma… and the fact that it requires an extra click everytime is getting slowly on my nerves
