Figma prototypes hide the behaviors that matter most in production
Static artboards and Auto Layout mask responsive breakpoints, loading states, accessibility failures, and unpredictable content. As AI generates more adaptive interfaces, the gap between prototype fidelity and real behavior grows wider.

Audit your next prototype for at least three states Figma cannot show: slow load, long content, and keyboard navigation. — Designer's Takeaway |

Passing automated alt text checks does not mean your alt text actually works
GitHub's Accessibility Scanner added a plugin that catches alt text that clears automated rules but still fails real users. The post names specific failure patterns: decorative images with descriptions, vague labels, and redundant text.

Run your next image audit against GitHub's named failure patterns, not just automated pass/fail scores. — Designer's Takeaway |

Figma Enterprise now lets admins control MCP connections to AI agents centrally
Enterprise and Organization plan admins can manage Figma's MCP server connection to agents like Claude through their identity provider (Okta). Users no longer authenticate individually or click repeated consent prompts.

If your team runs agentic design workflows, raise this with your Figma admin now so MCP access is ready before you need it. — Designer's Takeaway |
Today's Idea
Tools that say yes when the answer is no
Automated checks and pixel-perfect prototypes both report success while hiding real failure. Design your review process to include at least one test that your primary tool cannot run on its own.
