This is an excellent post and you touch on several excellent points. I recently started learning how to use Figma and realize how vital it is in making the coding part of the project go a lot smoother! I love the examples and step by step details you included, thanks for putting in the effort to write this.

Really great work [Kieran Roberts](https://hashnode.com/@kieran6roberts) Figma is so good! Even developers who tend to stay away from design tools are getting joy from using it.
