Figma
In plain terms
A collaborative, browser-based interface design tool.
Going deeper
Figma lets teams design UIs and prototypes together in real time, sharing components and handing off specs to developers. It's the dominant modern design tool.
Under the hood
Real-time collaboration and component/variant systems streamline design-to-dev handoff; plugins extend it.
Examples
UI/UX design, prototyping, design systems, developer handoff, wireframes.
Think of it like...
Like a shared whiteboard where designers sketch interfaces together live.
