- jve 3y agoNot for me... well, I'm on Windows. It is currently the best tool for me, as a non designer, to smash together (design) icons and export in my choice of format.
- hifix 3y agoI use it daily on Windows and I have to say it seems pretty fast. Never noticed any lagging or unnecessary animations.
- jjcm 3y agoPM over here at Figma - would love to know where you're experiencing lag / where you're seeing useless animations. Overall we're pretty minimal when it comes to animations in product (i.e. here's a quick 22s recording of navigating between screens/opening properties panels in product today: https://video.non.io/video-2940009905.mp4 https://video.non.io/video-2940009905.mp4) as we really want to convey that the app is snappy/performant. Definitely keen on diving in if you're experiencing otherwise. Happy to chat here or my email is jake@figma.com. Regarding platform specific performance - it shouldn't affect things as long as you have GPU acceleration enabled. The majority of us over here at Figma are using OSX FWIW.
- bsder 3y agoChrome on Ubuntu using your "Diagram Basics" template. Dragging any object is laggy--particularly so over the slightly pinkish/purplish background area.
- sanitycheck 3y agoI'm mostly on Windows, if someone sends me a Figma link I open it in a different browser because half the time it locks up for a few minutes then crashes the whole thing. Would prefer to be sent a PDF, and you won't often catch me saying that.
