at least we can makes slides now we can’t make products anymore
So true!!!
I’ve been a dedicated Figma user for over five years and been loving it, up until now. What is happening!! Once a reliable tool, Figma has become increasingly buggy, slow, and confusing with its recent updates. The new layout changes seem unnecessary and disruptive. Now “Bugma” is hindering design workflow and overall productivity.

It seems to be the natural lifecycle of SASS and other similar models.
- Start off with a Free Plan that does almost everything and is super user-focused. (get those users in).
- Have a cheap plan for more pro features.
- Add other cool features, continually improving the product.
- Add some major features, but tell everyone they’re “beta” (the beginning of the end, this is usually the peak of the best experience and cost).
- Start cutting access for that Free Plan to certain features and elements.
- After the major features get incorporated into people’s workflows, make it a separate cost.
- Keep adding new features and changing things to keep investors happy. But start ignoring speed and stability.
- Ignore Users more and more. Focus on big fat corporate plans and micro-pricing more and more. (this could also be when a competitor starts to rise up, one that is at step 1)
- User Experience quality hits an all-time low. Bugginess is up. All that matters is keeping the people you have sucked in to your product and squeezing more money out of them for the investors.
- Squeeze as much money as you can until it’s time to fold/get bought out/get pushed out by a new competitor.
I was hoping it would take longer to reach step 9. And I feel that we were in steps 4-5 for a LONG time. Which is great!
Nobody wants to make a sustainable business. They just want short-term gains.
