2026 Figma Config

A few thoughts after Figma Config…

My biggest takeaway is that Figma doesn’t seem content being just a design tool anymore. It feels like they’re trying to become THE place where design, content, prototyping, AI, and implementation ALL happen together.

The strategy seems less about designing screens and more about owning the ENTIRE workflow!

A few things that stood out:
* Code Layers brings implementation closer to the canvas and gives engineers more reason to work directly in Figma.
* Motion gave me major Flash nostalgia... in the best way! It felt like a full-circle moment from the early 2000s.
* Shader fills and effects feel like Figma stepping further into Photoshop territory.
* Figma Agent and the generative features seem designed to reduce how often we need to leave Figma to get work done.
