A recap of Figma's first year (blog.figma.com)

It's hard to distil how much Figma has changed my work-flow down to a short post—but I believe the biggest game changer has been collaborative design and being able to watch other designers.
In the past we'd usually start a phone call then fire up teamviewer to do design walk-throughs. That's a thing of the past now. Being able to do that right in Figma then put down the phone and dive right in without any contextual disconnect is amazing.
It's like you never have to leave Figma! And it gets even better each week!
I absolutely hated exporting designs and forwarding to relevant people via email with long explanations. Now I just fire one link across and they can see live updates, leave comments that I can resolve as a sort of checklist. Game-changing software :)
that sounds tempting but my sketch pages are always a mess of lots and lots of alternative artboards with design variations, ideas, explorations. Don't you have that problem?
I tried out Figma, but not a heavy user. Nonetheless, it's amazing to see so much stuff happening. Keep up the great work.
