I am trying to build a plugin, with aws cognito as auth system. As I can’t access `wndow` object I have to make localized sign-in sign-out experience. For this I need to store few env variables like app id, client id, etc. I am using vite and preact https://github.com/mryechkin/figma-vite for building this, and when I build this using vite, it exposes my env variables when I inspect element. Is there a way to store them, so they are private?
Instead of having to guess what a selected object will look like in a certain color, selecting the color, then if it doesn’t look right, changing my mind and going to the palette again, why not just preview the change to a selected object live in the document on hover over the palette? That way I could see how it changes the design? Kind of how shopping for a different color tshirt, if you hover over the color dots it will change the manequin’s shirt color.
I think it would be amazing if we could export frames/images right from the Figma mobile app. There could be an export feature similar to desktop version and user could simply choose where they want to save the exported file to.
The Figma app for Microsoft Teams is fantastic! But unfortunately, it doesn’t have compatibility with shared channels. Please consider adding it, so that I can share my Figma designs with external clients more easily.

For sales or anybody that want to show data about his product or company, it would be cool to be able to add line charts or pie chart easily. Right now we need to edit it ourself, but non designers would not be confortable to ajust it. It will be fun to have a tool to create chart where we just have to put our data and it create the chart.
Hey everyone! I'm having trouble with my dropdown prototype in Figma and hoping someone can help. I have a dropdown component with two states: Default (collapsed state) Expanded state (which includes two nested instances for the hover on/off effect of each dropdown option) The issue happens when I click the dropdown default twice—it throws the error: "Couldn't play interaction: nested instance is swapped with its parent instance." It seems like something is breaking with the instance swaps when transitioning between states. Has anyone run into this before? Any ideas on how to fix it? Attaching a few screenshots for reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated! The error in question My input field + dropdown option variants
I am using Figma from almost 2 years. It’s a great tool. Previously I was using Windows 10 yet recently switched to Linux(Ubuntu). Figma doesn’t have any official release for Linux. There are some Unofficial desktop versions but they are “BUGGY”. I request you guys to release an official Figma desktop app for Linux.
Is it possible to specify an objects center of rotation. I cant for the life of me find it anywhere. You could do this relatively easy in sketch.
Hi, I’ve developed a Figma plugin that I’m excited to share with the community. However, when I tried to submit it, I encountered an issue: the plugin exceeds the 15MB size limit. Currently, my plugin is 186MB, which is significantly larger than the allowed size. Could you please guide me on how to resolve this issue so I can successfully upload my plugin to the Figma Community? Are there any solutions or workarounds that would allow me to share my plugin despite its large size? I’d greatly appreciate your assistance! Thank you.
Hi everyone, I’ve been working on a Figma project with a remote team, and while the platform is fantastic, I’m running into a few collaboration challenges. I’d love to hear how others handle similar situations. First, I’m looking for tools or workflows that streamline communication and feedback during the design process. I came across (https://higgdominorp.id/), I’m curious if anyone has other recommendations, especially for tools that integrate well with Figma. Second, I’m having trouble keeping everyone aligned on design iterations. Does anyone have tips for organizing files, comments, or version control to avoid confusion? Lastly, I’d love to hear how others manage time zones and asynchronous work in remote Figma teams. Are there any specific techniques or tools you’ve found particularly useful? Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions.
I’m currently the solo person on the team that works in Figma and eventually builds the website using Elementor. After designing a site and then discovering its not easy to implement a part of it, I want to recreate the Elementor widget in Figma and use variables for its design parts. (Sidenote: I’m at the point where I want to start to break free from Elementor but the boss and the client want to be able to edit the site.) I was able to do this successfully for one project, but want to make it easy to use for the multiple clients/projects that come. Variables were set up using the Base, Semantic, Component so changing a base color to the new brand’s colors is a simple process. I originally thought that having a library of the various Elementor widgets in a neutral color scheme would do that could be imported into various files. Components from that library still use its variables, as expected. Is there an easy way for me to map to the brand’s variables? Effectively, a super wide view
Hi everyone, I’ve been working on a project where I need to create animated prototypes from my Figma designs, but I’m running into a few challenges and would love some advice. First, I’m looking for a reliable tool to export and animate my Figma designs efficiently. I came across capcet (http://capcetapk.com), I’m curious if anyone has other recommendations, especially for tools that integrate well with Figma. Second, I’m having trouble optimizing the animations for different platforms (like web or mobile). Does anyone have tips for maintaining quality while keeping file sizes manageable? Lastly, I’d love to hear how others handle syncing animations and transitions smoothly in their prototypes. Are there any specific techniques or tools you’ve found particularly useful? Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions.
Hi Everyone, One of my clients is currently hosting their site on WordPress with Elementor to design. Anyone know of any good ways to get Figma to Elementor or will I have to build it all manually?
@Junko3 This issue is still persistent today. Actually there’s 2 issues here, depending how the component is built: Firstly a nested component that uses slots loses any override when using variables, this is not the case when changing from UI For components that have nested components in the master pre-made, without using placeholders, it is not possible to use DIFFERENT variables if the variant property is the same. In my example the blue instance has a light and dark variant. The property name is “blueProp”. Because the blue instance appears twice in the green component, the “blueProp” also appears twice in the nested component panel. See attached video for these 2 problems. Master with pre-nested instances: No problem while using UI Same setup but I cannot use different variables for different nested instances Master with placeholders / slots: No problem while using UI Using variables breaks / loose overrides I can provide the file if needed. Test with Figma Beta freshly restarted a
Figma is the best tool, but I think it have something to do better to make a nice portotype I don’t understand why the overflay not support smart animation? another question is when I use overlay Nav to another page, I can’t go back the overlay, I feeling so crazy…
I tried to access my figma file on my 2021 macbook pro since yesterday and I'm just stuck in a blank screen that doesn't display my files. I tried this on web and desktop app and on multiple browsers the same issue. but it works when I access my files on a windows laptop. I attached a screenshot below
