Hello, I am CiCi.
Sometimes my connection is unreliable, or I am travelling. It would be nice to be able to use Figma offline. I don’t see the point of having an app taking up space on my computer that doesn’t work without internet if I could just go to the browser, instead. If it had offline capabilities, it would make perfect sense to have it and it would be greatly appreciated.
Offline Capabilities
I’ve also been disappointed by Figma’s lack of abilities with even minor internet disruptions. It makes working on the road difficult or impossible, and can derail an entire day’s work if there are connectivity issues. This is not reasonable in the long term, and it will absolutely be factored when we review Figma compared to competitors.
Figma should:
- Cache the most recently-edited files
- Allow full editing of those files
- When access resumes, display a basic page-level file conflict UI if another user has edited the file
This is very standard asynchronous file editing UX, and will be understood by most users. It is not a risk to us or you.
