Since its debut at Config back in May, Figma has steadily added practical features to Figma Make for product teams. Supabase integration now allows for authentication, data storage, and file uploads. Designers can import design system libraries, which helps maintain visual consistency. Real-time collaboration has improved, giving teams the ability to edit code and prototypes together. The tool now supports backend connections for managing state and storing secrets. Prototypes can be published to custom domains. These changes move Figma Make closer to bridging the gap between design concepts and advanced prototypes.

In my opinion, there’s a stronger relationship between Sites and Make than there is Make and Design. The Make-generated code may be slightly better than when Sites debuted, but it is still not semantic.

Anyhow, I think Make is great for prototyping and it’s convenient to have it built right into Figma. Julius Patto, writing in UX Collective:

Prompting well in Figma Make isn’t about being clever, it’s about being clear, intentional, and iterative. Think of it as a new literacy in the design toolkit: the better you get at it, the more you unlock AI’s potential without losing your creative control.
