I am frustrated that this application cannot be used offline! I made a request three years ago, and they mentioned plans to create an offline version. I really dislike web-based apps that always require an internet connection and a login.
As a Photoshop user for over 10 years, I handle all my UI, icon, and design work with Photoshop. I don’t see the value in Figma, yet I’ve missed out on a lot of work because many of my new colleagues only use it. They often send me ".fig" files that I cannot open without installing Figma, creating an account, and being online. Figma is a real piece of garbage for me (absolutely no offence)!
While I recognise that Figma has some useful basic tools for UI design, I can’t understand why they haven’t developed a standalone offline version. It would be so much better to create and save files locally, without needing an online account or login. Perhaps I might consider switching to Figma from Photoshop if that were the case!!!
Lunacy has made some progress in opening Figma files, but as I mentioned, it's not fully developed yet and may never be.
Is there an app developer on GitHub who would be interested in creating an open-source, offline version of this garbage (Figma)? It would be great to have an application that we can install by downloading an offline executable installer, allowing us to work with local (fig) files without needing an Internet connection or a login account.
I would be willing to donate to this effort, and I would encourage other Figma users to do the same!
