Prototyping in Figma (Figma-along)

What is Figma?

Figma is a powerful tool that lets us design and prototype web apps before we develop them.


In this demo, we're going to prototype a few UI elements in a book sharing app. We'll be building these UI elements as components that can be reused across our design.

The Goal

Getting started

Create an account and log in at figma.com.

Clone this repo:

We won't be doing any coding, but this repo contains the book cover images that we'll add to our prototype.
