I really hate that we use Figma for LITERALLY EVERYTHING at work, 90% of the time it’s a simple diagram. Hey, use Visio or whatever Google’s thing is. Heck, we use Google for email, documents, and spreadsheets, why not for simple diagrams?
When I hear “hey, go to this Figma” I cringe.
We need shared Xcode so I can use it for everything and make the project managers use it when I’m doing stuff they need access to. 🤣
@fahrni one challenge I often see is when a team starts to use it as documentation... in order for that to be effective, you have to create a lot of way-finding scaffolding around the designs, and you end up implementing Confluence inside of Figma.
@fahrni even when it’s used for something more appropriate, the sharing experience is terrible because of the infinite canvas and lack of hierarchy.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve been sent a link and had to clarify which of the dozens of screens or elements they’re talking about. Or worse, had a conversation where we’re both talking about different parts of the doc 🙈
@mikesax I’ve seen some really great UI design work from our designers using it and that has been extremely useful. We’ve had entire workflows with full designs mapped out using it. That is something it’s great for!
