You are right bro, handing off project files to clients who don’t really know how to use figma is already difficult, then being myself confused about the pages section is a whole different hassle I didn’t expect!
even the transition animations are clunky, almost like they were done by a junior developer. the more they try to fix it, the more it would look and function like ui2.
I’ve just found your channel, because I was searching something about scrolling interactions, and I loved your content. Thank you for showing your perspective on the new Figma UI. 🙌
When you have a winning product and you're just like "let's F*** it up". the new UI is so confusing that the UI of Figma consume most of my time rather than the actual UI I want to work on -_-
"The problem with fanboys is that if Apple, Google or Figma make a mistake, fanboys try to justify it." Man... respect! True words of wisdom! I couldn't agree more with this statement.
I've only used this new version for 3+ hours thus far, but still having a hard time adapting. I really hate the tool bar at the bottom -- if it was movable, it would make life much easier. Also having issues with ALL the reduced tap areas (lots of accidental clicks!). I'm betting that Figma will eventually take the route Adobe has with 'views' -- UI layouts optimized for whatever type of task a user is focused on.
got my hands on the new ui today. all I can say is: the stable ui2 is wayyy better than the beta ui3. honestly, I don’t think figma hires seasoned product designers and ux testers. either that or the release was rushed ahead of config.
floating the navbar on the bottom is a bad design decision as you design from top to bottom these days, for mobile and web 90% of the time. So it is bad decision, it UX 101..
