Figma is an online service for developing interfaces and prototyping with the ability to organize real-time collaboration. It is positioned by the creators as the main competitor to Adobe software products.
Figma is suitable for creating simple prototypes and design systems, as well as complex projects (mobile applications, portals). In 2018, the platform has become one of the fastest growing tools for developers and designers.
At the moment, an unofficial Electron version of the Figma online service is being developed for linux systems, Electron serves as the base. The full functionality of Figma has already been implemented, as well as exclusive features for Linux builds that are not available on other systems.
List of innovations:
1. Implementation of the application settings window.
2. Interface scaling.
3. Scale tabs.
4. Support for system fonts and adding custom directories with fonts.
5. Turn the menu on and off.
6. Enable and disable the title box.
At the moment, there is a launchapad repository, and the application is uploaded to the snap store.
The developers invite everyone to join the development of an application that aims to give the Linux community modern interface design methods.
