Hi guys,
@Ali and I have started working with Figma and have been really impressed with it (we’re still pulling out our hair a little as we continue to learn all it can do!) I’m interested to hear what the team thinks about us moving some of our current projects to Figma, for example Listaflow and the New Open edX theme. These projects are still in the beginnings of the design phase so we think if we want to move to Figma it’s the right time.
Some reasons we like Figma for our OpenCraft Projects:
-
Figma seems better for remote teams and will make it easier to collaborate, communicate, and ask questions - so we’ll no longer use Invision.
-
Figma is browser-based, so developers can view a project without installing a design tool (we’re using Sketch and Zeplin right now).
-
Figma comes with native prototyping and developer handoff capabilities, so we’ll no longer need to use Zeplin.
The only issue we have with Figma is that you need an internet connection to access its full capabilities. So in the rare case that we don’t have internet (for whatever reason), that could delay our workflow.
All in all the major benefits of Figma means we can simplify the design process by using one application, and we can collaborate more effectively.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, and whether you’re “for” or “against” it. This is a discussion we all should be a part of…
