People have mentioned a bunch of successful visual programming applications, but one that I've been thinking a lot about lately is Figma. Figma has managed to bridge the gap between designers, UXR, and engineers in ways that I've never seen done before. I know teams that are incredibly passionate about Figma and use it for as much as they can (which is clearly a reflection of Figma themselves being passionate about delivering a great product) but what impressed me was how much they focus on removing friction from the process of shipping a working application starting from a UI mockup. I think Figma holds a lot of lessons for anyone serious about both visual programming and cross-functional collaboration in organizations.
