The launch of the Frigade Figma UI Kit aims to streamline the design process by allowing product teams to design with Frigade UI components in Figma at the same speed as building with React components. This kit includes highly configurable design elements for various components such as announcements, banners, checklists, and tours, enabling teams to easily duplicate the Figma file, establish a design system if desired, and customize components for integration into product designs. The initiative addresses the common practice of designing directly in production due to the speed advantage, promoting a more thorough design process while maintaining efficiency.
