Ok I’ll stop ranting now about this now. Just very frustrated and worried about figuring this big change out with zero warning. My autism and accessibility mind set is panicking and upset about the change with figma 🤯

[Ryn 🏳️‍⚧️ @Farryn_moon]

From looking through the search for “figma drafts” those who work at figma, not on the comms team are having to reply to comments and tweets about concerned users about the migration of drafts. This should not be happening.
If anything, this launch has been poorly executed.

This is why user research, talking and speaking to a wide variety of users is really important to make sure marginalised communities, less technologically advanced or those in places in the world who don’t have access to certain payment methods still have access to your product.

[Ryn 🏳️‍⚧️ @Farryn_moon]

Something we will get back to post release. Or I have to be grateful that we’ve got colors and fonts that pass basic accessibility standards. Let alone screen readers.
@figma you’re making a big mistake with deleting drafts. And I’m losing my trust with you.

It’s a wrap, Figma just killed drafts. Monetization scheme completed. Every user group will pay now.

Mehn, what a run.

For we African customers, paying with card is still a big issue. @figma can you partner with paystack and flutterwave for easy payment.

[Ryn 🏳️‍⚧️ @Farryn_moon]

Accessibility, equity, WCAG etc isn’t just about colours or each it’s making sure that as many users face as least barriers as possible when using your product. It’s goes so much deeper. So many companies I’ve worked for, have diminished accessibility as an after thought. Or

PSA: Figma removes the ability to share editable files in drafts for free. 🤑

The only option to collaborate with others for free now is using a new Starter team (3 file limit), which they conveniently avoid mentioning in docs (below) and instead tell you to pay more.

Stonks 📈

@Damian_Kidd @figma Why couldn’t they have given us like a month warning about this? Instead of a few days?!?

[Ryn 🏳️‍⚧️ @Farryn_moon]

Hey @figma with the move of drafts into teams, does this mean we have to now pay for a monthly membership?

[Ryn 🏳️‍⚧️ @Farryn_moon]

@Damian_Kidd @figma And making me lose trust in an industry standard product we have to use for work…. I migrated from sketch during Covid and now I’m like 🥴 very dark UX & psychology here.

[Ryn 🏳️‍⚧️ @Farryn_moon]

@Damian_Kidd @figma I’m way too busy at the moment todo this but I’ve a lot of client work I’m working on and I’m quite stressed out by this.

[Ryn 🏳️‍⚧️ @Farryn_moon]

@Damian_Kidd @figma And now, along with every other Figma user, we need to spend time to re-organize and figure out what teams to put our drafts into….

[Ryn 🏳️‍⚧️ @Farryn_moon]

So there’s this tweet… but I don’t know. It goes against how the product should be

[Figma @figma]

@bethanhelen8 On a Starter team you still have unlimited drafts but are limited to 3 collaborative files

[Ryn 🏳️‍⚧️ @Farryn_moon]

Preach 🙌🏻

[Ryn 🏳️‍⚧️ @Farryn_moon]

@Damian_Kidd @figma Like I get it, they’re a business and need to make money, but also I don’t have all the money in the world to pay for something outside of work where I’m exploring, experimenting or have case studies for interviews etc. Very poorly explained

[Ryn 🏳️‍⚧️ @Farryn_moon]

@Damian_Kidd @figma It’s really not clear 🙄🥲
