The fact that https://t.co/QKbQIjhXmm was just published on stage at #Config2025, is live on the web, and it looks slick AF is wiiiiiiiild.

The sites team absolutely cooked!

[Aashima @this_is_aash]

So excited to finally be able to talk about the product I've been working on for the past year :-) Go smash that publish button!! Can't wait to see what you build

[Dylan Field @zoink]

With Figma Sites, I’m excited for teams to publish their designs directly to the web with a single click.

[Tom Duncalf @tomduncalf]

Check out this fantastic deep dive by my colleague @SammySteele14 on how @figma’s databases team tackled the challenges of horizontal sharding to massively scale our infrastructure. A great read and a really innovative approach! https://t.co/ClF5EpdZvX

[Kris Rasmussen @kris_rasmussen]

What does it mean to be collaborative as an engineer? I’ve been thinking a lot about this, especially ever since we started building Dev Mode, which we recently launched. Here’s how we answer that question at Figma 🧵https://t.co/gN8a0k3XKO

[Ben Stern @Bstern]

We’ve accumulated a bunch of UI/UX paper cuts that made the file browser feel unreliable. But finding, organizing, and coordinating your work is critical to building great products.

This is an awesome foundation for all the amazing stuff we’re bringing to your teams soon!!

[Aashima @this_is_aash]

Honored to share the stage with these women in just 2 weeks! Mark your calendars & hope to see you there ⏰🥳

Shirley recently led a cross company effort to ship Figma's dark mode, and I'm so proud to have a friend and mentor in such a talented engineer! Go Shirley!!

[Shirley Miao @shirlmeow]

1/5 For years, dark mode was one of Figma’s top user requests. A (seemingly) simple ask turned out to be an engineering feat.
