I have in mind that if there was a way Figma could build something that will enable designers to quickly move from an idea to having it generated on the canvas in a way that reflects exactly what I had in mind in the fastest way possible, that would be great. If it were possible to get what I have in mind, an idea for a particular design, and make it in such a way that it just comes into Figma, that would be ideal. Typing a prompt to express what I have in mind is quite complicated. There might be certain things I might not necessarily know how to explain in a way that a chatbot would understand. Being able to spot exactly what I have in my mind and just put it out there into Figma canvas would be a great game changer.

Figma's pricing could be improved since many people are seeking open-source options like Penpot. On the free plan, I cannot have separate files for different collaborators, requiring a team plan which costs around twenty-two dollars, creating a bottleneck along with the added burden of additional features and paywalls for new AI tools being introduced. The issue of privacy arises on the free tier with collaborator access, allowing inspection of confidential files.
There are a few things Figma needs to improve upon, particularly regarding the types of images it can import. Currently, we cannot directly import formats like EPS from Illustrator; we must convert it into SVG, JPG, or other compatible formats. As Figma is essentially a visual tool, we require high-fidelity images, so better compatibility with Adobe tools would be beneficial. Furthermore, while its new tools like Figma Make are good and free of cost, they need improvement, as most of its results do not meet our expectations. I hope to see a better version of Figma Make, its AI tool, in the future. Figma's performance is good overall, but when too many designers work on heavy images, its performance tends to slow down more than we would prefer. Therefore, we would appreciate the expansion of its page system to enable more designers to collaborate effectively, especially with larger files.
There are areas of Figma that could be improved or enhanced. Annotation was one of the issues I had, but with the recent update, it has been fixed. I had been using my own component library for this, but now Figma has implemented this feature, which is fantastic. One of the significant challenges earlier was when the interface was updated, and the positioning and sizing properties were shifted on the right panel. This change initially slowed down my efficiency as I was accustomed to accessing sizes in a particular area. Though it impacted my team's workflow initially, we have now adapted to the new layout.

One negative aspect about our main use case or how we used Figma in that project is that the notifications were a little bit difficult to follow. For example, if a designer marks up some part of Figma, we don't necessarily know about it on the product side, and it's hard to keep track of all of that, especially when we use Slack for our regular workflow. Figma can be improved by enhancing the notifications to let people know that there's a new message in Figma, just to make sure that people see the notification that it's meant to go to the person who's meant to receive it.

The product could be improved by addressing performance issues such as slowness, particularly with heavy or high-resolution images. It can lead to lag and slow file loading times.
One of the areas for improvement is the onboarding experience. When you first starting using Figma, it can be a little confusing. It would be useful to have some guidance and direction.

Sometimes the prototype view menu gets in the way of navigation, especially if the prototype has a menu at the top, and most of the time it does.
