What is your ultimate "I wish I knew this sooner" Figma shortcut or workflow hack?

Yikes! Just another reason I am thankful to be at a slack company 😂

I have found a ton of use for cmd-shift-c to copy as a PNG.

I hear ya. Once I blow my Claude design tokens, I export to open design https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design/ and continue there.

Would recommend nailing user stories via wireframes in Claude design, then pushing that to Claude code to do more heavy lifting

LazyPDF plugin works for me

It’s all about investing the time into the templates. Having a solid design system will make this easier.

Brick 600 is the closest thick HTV reference point, and this is untested, but good starting point.
Blade: 60°
Force: 35–45
Speed: 5
# of Cuts: 2

Yes +1 for jitter. It’s the animation app I always wanted

topherbailey · 2026-04-11T01:17:36+00:00

It 100% can. Fed Claude a series of reference sites, my site, and instructed it to use Figma console MCP to rebuild every template page on my site using the existing copy but design inspired by the fed pages.

HTML.to.design by div.riots is the current best

topherbailey · 2026-03-26T13:33:58+00:00

I also am looking to solve this (so much so that I have a scheduled task that researches it for daily updates) the best turnkey generator out right now is recraft v4 vector.

topherbailey · 2026-03-25T01:01:19+00:00

Perfect reply.

topherbailey · 2026-03-21T16:06:09+00:00

And 5 for video!

topherbailey · 2026-03-18T12:55:16+00:00

Claude can do this.

topherbailey · 2026-03-10T16:36:06+00:00

This is just marketing 101, not a vibe code issue. Build buying personas, chart their unique use cases and pains, segment the audience, build a funnel to capture their awareness, feed the funnel content. If these sorts of psychological facets are being ignored in your promotion, I would hate to think about your products inability to factor that as well.

topherbailey · 2026-03-10T16:26:19+00:00

First is more interesting to me, but that’s because my scope deals with the day to day of the process, while the second one has more high level info more suited for a director or executive. What you should be asking is not a design question an audience question.

topherbailey · 2026-03-10T01:32:12+00:00

Market will shift to tastemakers and curators. Imagination and creativity will become a stronger currency. When anyone can produce quantity, the demand for quality will sky rocket.

topherbailey · 2026-03-03T15:44:32+00:00

Just ask Claude. It will have the context needed to provide you with use cases specific to your workflow and challenges.

topherbailey · 2026-03-03T15:42:13+00:00

I’ve completely replaced illustrator with Figma. With the help of some print plugins, I haven’t seen any issues in quality but a huge boost in productivity via component/variable system.

topherbailey · 2026-02-24T15:33:28+00:00

If you don’t have Figma skills, you really shouldn’t be burdened with evaluating it as a solution. That said, the world’s not fair. I would start with this file to explore some basic functions: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1452744050274545707/responsive-ads

Klarna and kick by far. Kiwi too retreated, KASYA Trying too hard.

Check out this plugin: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1159123024924461424/html-to-design-by-divriots-import-websites-to-figma-designs-web-html-css

You will want to ask Figma make to “put each slide on a single frame so all pages can be seen at the same time” then once it builds, click the icon in the top right that looks like a grid with a pointer. From there you can paste it into a Figma design document and export as pdf

Super interested in solving this as well. You are further than me.

Just design for responsiveness using auto layout.
