Figma slides: more options to scroll slides

Many people use Flides (definitely use that name ;)) to embed the presentation on their website or share it to people.

As of today, the buttons to scroll slides are quite small. It’d be great to have more options, for example bigger “previous” and “next” buttons like swiper does (see BuiltForMars case studies).

I tried adding text with links but this comes with several downsides:

  • Need to update the links on every slide (= painful)
  • No animation when links between slides (which is actually another feature request)
  • The link is only on the text and not on the enclosing layout

These optional scrolling buttons could also come with different counters.
I reckon that would need to be another entity within Flides, some kind of footer that would be applied to all slides.
