Figma balls lmao gottem
Could somebody explain this “figma balls” joke? There are no entries on urban dictionary.
It comes from “Ligma balls”.
The word Ligma sounds like a disease, so you would say something like “it seems like he has Ligma” and bait someone into saying “Ligma?” or “What’s Ligma?” at which point you say “Ligma balls”
You can add “LMAO GOTTEM” at the end for extra punch
Aha. Sort of works for Ligma. Unless I’m too old for these jokes, it makes no sense to me whatsoever for Figma.
Figma resembles the word ligma. Figma on its own does not work.
We’re several layers deep into the meme
Headline should reflect that it’s because of regulators, Adobe for sure would like to be a monopoly. Second time we were saved since Nvidia buying Arm got canceled.
Well, specifically, a market monopoly for UX design tools. They already have a pretty strong stranglehold over other creative disciplines. Illustration, photography, graphic design, print publishing, etc.
Like UX, there are lots of smaller alternatives, but Adobe’s apps dominate the pro space.
This is good news! It was looking like Figma would be killed off.
If anything, Adobe XD would get the axe, not Figma. Figma is the industry leading design software for UX work. No way that would get killed.
Adobe had already announced that they were sunsetting XD with the announcement of their Figma aquisition, as Figma is much more successful and filled the same space. I guess now the question is whether they decide to reverse course and revive XD now that they won’t be getting Figma
They 100% will revive it. They only removed it because they were confident to buy Figma.
So, does the Adobe XD team hang around now? Adobe was signaling that XD was going to get axed for Figma.
It’s too bad companies don’t open source axed projects. I’m not an adobe fan nowadays but I really liked XD.
What’s figma
A gladiatorial arena for designers and front-end devs to fight in.
An modern style illustrator vector program. It’s a lot like Adobe Illustrator but with an easier to understand UI.
