news.ycombinator.com Rune Madsen 2025-08-28 23:38:27

I first encountered Figma in 2013, when Dylan Field demoed an early prototype to me at O’Reilly’s Foo Camp. I remember the pen tool feeling surprisingly elegant, but I missed the bigger picture: the radical implications of a design tool that ran in the browser. A decade later, Figma is a core part of our creative process, and without it, we wouldn't have been able to build a fully remote design practice. That’s probably why Dylan is a near-billionaire and I’m not. However, over the course of th
