WHAT DOES FIGMA DO NEXT?

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Figma revolutionized product design by turning the canvas into a multiplayer collaboration space, displacing incumbents like Sketch almost overnight. However, as AI collapses the gap between visual intent and working code, the canvas risks becoming peripheral — with coordination infrastructure, design systems, and live artifacts mattering more than static design files. Figma now faces a strategic fork: keep pulling everything back into its canvas, or accept a humbler role as one collaborative lens into a system where code and runtime are the real source of truth.
