I do appreciate the new features like variables and conditionals and they help a lot in building prototypes. But there are some improvements that are needed to make this product truly great:
- When I am editing the interactions, the panel is super small and cannot be resized. I have variables in groups, so I can usually only read the group name and not the variable name. This means I have to open every single interaction to understand what it does.
- It would also be great to not only see the variables but already the interaction.
- The panel (popup) needs to be resizable.
- The search and select in this panel is also not ideal. I need to make sure that the element the interaction is on is at the very top of the screen. Otherwise the select disappears from my screen, I cannot read anything and I have to close it, move the canvas and start over.
- When I set a variable and type in “true” and then hit enter, I expect that this interaction is saved and the select dropdown disappears. Instead an “==” is added. That doesn’t make any sense, also not logical: “variable = true ==”?
So again: Great work Figma team. But please work a bit more on it. Thanks!
