Review Figma?

Founder feedback dominates: makers of

BeforeSunset AI

Superhuman

, and

Krisp

praise Figma for fast iteration, real‑time collaboration, and keeping teams aligned from sketch to handoff. Other founders note Dev Mode streamlines engineering, while component libraries and auto‑layout maintain consistency across complex flows. Common user themes echo this: smooth multiplayer editing, strong prototyping, rich plugins, and easy sharing. Frictions persist with very large files, limited offline use, occasional learning curve, and concerns about paying for Dev Mode, but velocity gains outweigh trade‑offs.

Figma

to build Kivicube instead of Sketch, Adobe XD

Figma was our go-to for designing Kivicube’s intuitive UI and crafting all our marketing visuals. Its real-time collaboration made it easy to iterate on our drag-and-drop editor with the whole team.

Figma

to build Just The Article Please

•7 reviews

I did use Figma a little bit for this project (favicons and some UI), but mostly for the back-and-forth process of refinement to better articulate what I'm going for. Like, showing it a picture of the current UI or interaction and then another picture of what I'd like it to look like. You get the idea. It's a pretty basic web app.

What's great

intuitive interface (50)real-time collaboration (169)prototyping capabilities (58)developer-friendly (17)

I’ve used both Figma and Adobe XD while working on product UI and SaaS dashboards. Collaboration in Adobe XD is actually quite decent, but Figma feels more natural when multiple people are actively working on designs at the same time.

What really stands out for me in Figma is the infinite canvas and how smoothly it handles vector and SVG-based design elements. It makes structuring complex layouts, components, and design systems much easier, especially for web products.

The browser-based workflow also removes setup friction, which helps teams move faster during iteration cycles.

What needs improvement

slow performance with large files (15)pricing structure (7)

Performance can slow slightly with very large files or heavy component libraries. Offline support is also limited compared to traditional desktop tools, which can occasionally be inconvenient depending on workflow.

vs Alternatives

Sketch

Adobe XD

Tools like Adobe XD work well and offer solid collaboration features, but Figma’s canvas flexibility and real-time editing experience feel more mature for fast-moving product teams.

Handling SVG assets, reusable components, and layout experimentation feels smoother, which makes it particularly useful when translating designs into development.

Figma

to build Tomosu

•12 reviews

Designed Tomosu's app icon entirely in Figma. The vector tools and export options made it easy to iterate on the candle flame motif and generate all the required icon sizes in one go. Perfect for a developer who isn't a full-time designer.
