Figma is an online service for interface design and prototyping that allows for real-time collaborative work. It is positioned by its creators as a primary competitor to Adobe products.
Figma is suitable for creating both simple prototypes and design systems, as well as complex projects (mobile applications, portals). In 2018, the platform became one of the fastest-growing tools for developers and designers.
Currently, an unofficial Electron version of the Figma online service is being developed for Linux systems, based on Electron. The full functionality of Figma is already implemented, along with exclusive features for the Linux build that are not available on other systems.
List of new features:
1. Implementation of the application settings window.
2. Interface scaling.
3. Tab scaling.
4. Support for system fonts and the addition of user font directories.
5. Enabling and disabling the menu.
6. Enabling and disabling the title window.
Currently, a launchpad repository is available, and the application is uploaded to the snap store.
The developers invite anyone interested to join the development of the application, which aims to provide the Linux community with modern interface design methods.
