Figma is a tool that allows you to create interactive prototypes in the web browser. It’s become one of the most popular tools for UI/UX designers because it allows you to quickly create a prototype, add animation and interaction, and share it with stakeholders and clients. But what if you want something specific added to your Figma project? For example, maybe you need some icons for your app or website, or maybe there’s some text missing from your flowchart? In this post, we’ll explore several plugins that can help fill those gaps in your projects.
