From a developer point of view, as long as I have the image assets, a list of fonts and where to source them and the colour codes used I don’t really need an inspect mode. CSS on the web has gone in more of a constraints direction rather than exact pixels so all I need to know for a grid for example is which items should stretch and which should be static. I can interpret the rest from any static image. It’s definitely more about knowing the intent behind a design, which you’ll get with a conversation with the designer, than the specific layout.

A designer who can explain their design and relate to a developer’s pov is a great designer to have that’s why it’s good to have a good relationship with your developer in short just buy one seat and show share access to a developer you are presenting your design to. Easy 🫛

Coming from a photography and filmmaking background I’m used to paying for Adobe software. It’s quite annoying, but unescapable. For video I use davinci resolve which is completely free and better than premiere pro. It’s also what professional color graders use to color Hollywood movies. The small point I’m trying to get to is designers (at least employed designers) are getting paid very very well to shell out 12 dollars a month. It’s a small price to pay to work your craft in which most people are making 65k and up. People spend $12 a month on coffee or junk food or other things we don’t need. At the end of the day I’m glad Adobe and Figma don’t work out. For now that’s good enough for me. Speculating the future when all of us can very well not be here tomorrow is a is a waste of energy in my opinion.

I'm 167 years old this Thursday and I come from a time of paid software. We have been getting unbelievably good stuff for free or cheap for so long people now have a warped sense of paying for services. I miss owning my software forever. Photoshop cs2 lasted me forever. I own a check writing software that I use daily that would be able to vote in the next election. I don't mind paying for a service but you have to do it right. Adobe should never be a service. It's too important to too many people.

Sad there's not gonna be any floating palettes in Figma. Adobe could really spread some UI magic into that static program.

100% agree on the point dev mode not being the advantage it promised to be. I just question PenPots future about being 'free' surely at some point they will have to turn the subs on? Penpots angle regarding designing using CSS naming convention/style inside its GUI is far better than Figmas dev mode!

penpot will have a paid mode but will keep the ability to self-host the cloud so big orgs can avoid paying anything.

​@@rasula9Im a software developer and can't really comment on why UX/UI isn't an important skill. I do think we all need to keep an eye out for AI though as that will start taking over job for the lower end creaters of the industry. I would just say: If you love doing something, make sure you do it extremely well and always adapt with the standards. Or else your job will be taken over by AI eventually. For instance, I think for me to not become irrelievant to AI in the next decade, I need to branch out and develop and work with AI directly so there's still a need for me.

Also their support is non existent... I bought a licence thinking the feature will work as they claim but the variables are still in beta and doesn't work as expected. Since there was no way to check or try the feature without paying, i paid and soon found that it is not what i need. Requested for refund... Sent many mails and not even a single mail was responded back.

Alternatives? please

@@kushagrakishore933 Yes! As long as you know the basic design principles, the goals of design and the basic functions of Figma, you have done almost 70% for other tools, if not more.

Great info, it would be great if you mention the frequency of the payments. Per month, per year, a one-time, etc. Cheers

Developer here. I do not mind consuming Figma when in a team of people and 1/X designer(s). Meanwhile, for my own projects and mockups I will probably go towards Affinity Designer (plenty enough for raster + vectors IMO) even if the ecosystem/community is not as huge. On MacOS, paired with Procreate it's kinda the ultimate powerful (because running locally) all-time one-time payment solution, no monthly BS. Not interested into Adobe shenanigans or the future of Figma because I do not really want to waste time committing on something that may be bought by a company, go hella expensive or become bloated (especially for my minor needs: no heavy design tasks).

beautiful day to you too♥

Most devs I've worked with NEVER use this inspect tools let alone even go into Figma on a regular basis. We already have stuff baked into our css so they know what to use my just looking at an image. Dev being paid is idiotic.

Yeah some of our clients also just want a quick spacing / font-scale guide from us and then code it based on that, some want to use inspect mode. But generally with the 10 to 1 ratio and this suddenly being between 12 and 35 USD it will be a huge shock to many companies that rely on that heavily. Also, how are you Adam? Long time! Hope all is good!

There is another reason why Figma took this path of developing their business. Accept big tech there are a lot of middle and small tech companies with one product, software companies making various products for different clients, marketing agencies (websites, mobile apps) and many others where that kind of paying model is still acceptable. They will pay anyway because the costs of moving to another design environment will be too big and time-consuming. Besides that, not every developer at the same company needs access to the dev mode of Figma. Most of them are involved in backend development and they will not know about existing such features. So from this point of view Figma will earn much more from people who can’t afford to change the tool they use. And honest using one tool is much faster than 2 or 3 to deliver the value you need. That’s why Figma monopolized the market (some way). However I agree with the opinion about learning other tools: especially not based on cloud solution.

Thank you for explaining this issue so well.

Thanks for that fast answer in this topic. Thank you :)

An article from Verge also says that the reason Adobe and Figma are mutually dissolving the merge is because of the "mounting pressure from regulators in the UK and EU." So I'm guessing the EU just wanted to stop Adobe from having more of a monopoly.

Hey Michael Sir Your videos are like happiness for me Love you Sir ❤❤❤

Dont worry designers... AI will NOT take over the design jobs, Because AI will never be able to do design as humans.. Designers will always be needed. The only thing that might go away is the "bad" designers .... Its easier for AI to become a developer, coder.. So more of the developments coding jobs will be done by AI

This is actually a good thing as we all know Figma would eventually become paied 😂
