Do you like Figma? If yes, you'll love the new Dev Mode feature. I'll explain how I use it in my designs and why it's so useful for developers.

What is Dev Mode? #

Dev Mode in Figma is a new, really helpful feature for developers. It's like a tool that lets you check your designs. You can see sizes, styles, and even make code for CSS, iOS, or Android right from your designs.

Making Work Easier with Dev Mode #

Dev Mode and Figma work together to make your work flow better. You can connect your designs, code, and even project tools in Figma. Dev Mode also makes sure your designs and code match.

FigJam, part of Figma, now has AI tools. They help with group work and brainstorming. You can make boards for meetings and sort ideas easily.

Figma for Visual Studio Code #

Figma's tool for Visual Studio Code helps you look at designs, work with other designers, and get code ideas. It mixes design and coding.
