I fucking hate Figma.

@brucelawson do you have any sage words that can help explain my aversion to Figma to my students ?

@danbz It produces pictures of designs, not designs. Some of which could not (or should not) be made with web tech. It does nothing (that I can see) to encourage designers to think outside the "mobile layout vs desktop layout" flawed mental model. It's also horrible to navigate with all the zooming and scrolling.

@brucelawson @danbz totally agree - mostly when presented with a Figma board by smiling students I ask them to put it away and draw a simple spider diagram or flow of what their thing does and sadly they can rarely do it - seduced by the shiny surface with a veneer of ‘finished’ without any deeper understanding of what they are actually trying to do … it’s almost as thought destroying as the endless Miro boards :( But they are beginning and will get better at it !

@brucelawson @danbz trying to explain the difference between ‘doing design’ vs ‘performing design’ is an ongoing discussion :)
