I've been using XD exclusively but I hear they've axed it? Argh, I guess I need to learn sigma now aaaaaand pay for another fucking thing.
Is sigma far superior to XD? anyone try both?
- Of course it's superior. Otherwise Adobe wouldn't kill XD. And it's kinda old news :)NBQ00
- Figma is by far superior to XD. I used XD for years. Switched to Figma about 1.5-2 years ago and haven’t looked back!lvl_13
- BTW the learning curve from xd to figma is really easy. Once you figure out subtleties between the two you should be golden.lvl_13
- Ya, Figma does way more, but I only needed XDs functionality at the time. Glad I made the switch as Figma has a great ecosystemGnash
- Loved Figma when we switched from XD. Now our designers are using v0 and Lovable more, some Figma, but not near as much.aliastime
- interesting thanks guys. Aliastime, are they still designing the look and feel in figma or another software and letting v0 or Lovable prototype/create the sites_niko
- or are they letting ai also do the design?_niko
- Figma is free, you can always work in the Drafts folder and don't bother with paying, BUT if you work in teams, it's gonna cost a lot more than Adobe CC********
- I made the switch last year, no regrets. If there is something you want to do, that figma doesnt do, theres a plugin. Almost always.slappy
- Compressify for smaller PDFs for decks ;)********
- Can I easily copy and paste from photoshop or illustrator?_niko
- Yes, but forget about illustrator, we don't need that where we are going.slappy
- My biggest thing was being able to bring xd designs directly exportable into after effects. That was huge and Figma was lacking big time. Overlord...lvl_13
- ...has finally been able to do this. Albeit a little janky.lvl_13
- I’m getting to love figma for what it is, but it’s far from an illustrator replacement for me at least ... they work togethermonospaced
- Why don't you just look up Figma tutorials and help manuals & GPT questions instead of asking about functions here?NBQ00

I'm still a bit confused... is Adobe finally killing off XD, or did it get a new lease on life after the failed merger with Figma?
- Nobody cares about XD. Or Adobe these days********
- They had it on the chopping block forever. I would assume it’s getting killed, but haven’t heard anything new about this for a while.lvl_13
- It's not very good and needs a complete rethink. I think they will try and go straight to a prompt to prototype app for UI design would be my guess.slappy
- They haven't supported XD since late 2023. I liked it and got an entire team of people using it from 2021-2023; the simplicity helped make this possible.mg33
- I've only used Figma since late 2023. Using it daily for enterprise application work these days.mg33
- Figma also works for a lot of other things other non-design teams are working on. Examples: Miro/Keynote/Acrobat...lvl_13
- So nice to not have to hop around in other programs constantly. And the ability to create working prototypes within (I know xd did this as well)lvl_13
- I much prefer XD over Figma.robthelad

Looking to do some learning about creating Design Systems using Figma.
Got any recommended YouTube links?
Or happy to even pay for a recommended course.
I've used Adobe XD for design systems in the past, now switching to Figma and looking for some learnings.
- i honestly recommend 1st jumping straight in and fucking around for a day if you have the time...exador1
- it's pretty intuitive, and with all the experience you have in Adobe, you'll figure it out super quickly...exador1
- then, all you 'really' need to do is hit up Youtube for any questions you might have about setting up a design system in Figma...exador1
- i started with Figma when it was fairly new, and it only took me a few hours to get super comfortable with it...exador1
- the tutorials etc on Figma are pretty sound...

- what exador said ^ if you are competent in xD you will be fine in Figma. xD was a memory hog. good riddance.lvl_13

- QBN's shitty url parser....********
- Lately, I've been asking AI for quick questions when I get stuck. Claude is a pretty smart fellow for not having a brain.CyBrainX
- For me, exploring existing design systems is useful, esp in regards to semantic naming. There are diff methods and not all will be ideal for your use case.mandomafioso

- I guess the Make app is pretty much trained on everything in the Community tab...********
- Surprised?OBBTKN
- Maybe also everything not shared in community.mort_
- Considering switching back to Sketch********
- good luck with that. sketch is trash.lvl_13
- I got a trailer, was pretty fast, I just use it offline********
- Why move?mort_
- NDAs
training on user data in EU is a clear no no******** - Is it time for a FUCK FIGMA! thread?CyBrainX
- Ah!mort_

Hired at job where I need to have Figma experience. Which I’ve only ever edited others’ files.
Am I fucked?
- What's your XD history?garbage
- It's very similar to Sketch and XD. Practice for a few hours and you're good to go.pseud
- Youtube tutorials, try hard, done in one day ;)OBBTKN
- same actions different tools, take some tutorials for basic stuff, look at how community stuff have been built, you'll be fineArchitectofFate
- also realised i really need to move to figma.. been stuck in XD for way too long..dee-dubs
- thanx brothers - deep in it now - not that heavy a lifttimeless
- I didn't realise XD was still around?pseud
