  • Figma is completely changing how you can view, edit, and organise your drafts. Unlimited drafts are going away and will be limited to teams inside Figma only. I'm breaking down these Figma draft updates and what this change really means for its users.

    That's the type of things we expected would happen under Adobe. Instead, Adobe didn't bought them, gave them a whole billions of dollars and now this ? Either I never understood Figma's values as a company or it doesn't make sense.

    The goal of every SAAS is to first get you in with lots of great features and affordable pricing. Next comes the slow but ever increase of costs as users are locked in or require too much effort or training to move to something else.
    This goes for everything that is SAAS from Webflow to Vercel.
    Always try to avoid being locked into any SAAS where possible.

    Ho agrees that Figma needs a class action suit like Adobe ? this convoluted pricings systems need to get fine big time. Seats, teams, viewers, Full etc... and all that crap needs to go ! They make it harder to know what the client sees and if it see it at all, you have a free project or not, you need to guess, you pay for the product and as soon as someone needs to see/edit, suddenly are extra charges, you are kidding me ?! an Ui/UX app has intentionally 0 UX when the pricing sections it's involved, someone needs to go to jail for that ! all the marketing team needs to GO !
