Lots of really cool new features already announced during the opening keynote of Figma's Config event today (it's still happening here if you want to check out other sessions). Which ones are the Product Hunt community most excited about?
I left out a few of the pro/org/beta features since I can only include 10 in a poll (password protection, review states for branching, int'l keyboard shortcuts), but let me know if you're excited by those too!

Really like the extra preset animations, this will level up prototyping a lot. Big runners up to negative auto-layout spacing too!

The more intuitive auto-layout features look really great, but most excited to play with the new FigJam Widgets! 🥳
I'm excited for Auto layout. I enjoy working with auto layout in Swift UI, and designed based on constraints makes it a lot easier to create responsive designs.
Component properties are what I was waiting for, and Auto-layout improvements are really welcome as well.
It was challenging to design a product with a dark color theme in Figma without dark mode. Hope it will inspire more teams to support dark mode, too. 🙌
SO many cool updates, sooo stoked for better autolayout - especially with negative values and more granular alignments!
I feel like it's my annual "Figma-OS upgrade" to catch up on the updates 😂
Launching soon!
It's great that the Figma team is listening to their user base and implementing new features based upon popular demand. It lends itself to a better platform, one that's fueled by what their customers really want. I'm most looking forward to auto layout in Figma.
The updated auto-layout feature looks much more intuitive!
All update looks cool, Spotlight and component properties features really gone helpful, updated auto layout is the one looking forward to give a try!
I'm interested to learn more about how they're expanding their whiteboarding capabilities. As an online whiteboard startup, it's always interesting to see where the market leaders are heading!
If you're interested, we just launched today and would love your support: www.producthunt.com/posts/fresco-3
