Also called: Figma Make, Figma design, Fig ma, Figma prototype, Figma file

A collaborative design tool. [Teams](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/microsoft-teams) use it to design [the screens](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/front-end) of a product together. Its Figma Make feature [turns](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/turn) a design and a [prompt](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/prompt) into a working [prototype](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/prototype). Figma Make supports point-and-edit changes in projects built with [Tailwind CSS](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/tailwind-css) and [shadcn/ui](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/shadcn-ui).

**For example:** A designer lays out five screens of an app in Figma and [shares](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/equity) the link. The [founder](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/founder) and the [developer](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/software-engineer) leave comments on the same file.
