Figma introduced a new workspace called Dev Mode designed specifically for developers. It includes several features that help bridge the gap between design and development.

This is a workspace within Figma designed to cater to the needs of developers and aims to make them feel at home within the platform. Figma has traditionally been seen as a design tool, and with the introduction of Dev Mode, Figma is seeking to bridge the gap between design and development.

Dev Mode is currently in beta and available for free to all users through 2023.
