Plugin update highlights in 2022 (so far)

Shortly after taking care of those customers, we faced a new Figma bug related to image loading that caused some major speed issues for many of our plugins for over a month, and worked with customers to support them and help with workarounds, while manage expectations around when to expect a proper resolution for the core issue.Īfter these first 6 months of hard work shipping plugin updates and dealing with a the curveballs mentioned above, it feels like things are in a great place right now to get back at it like a crack addict and really double down and focus on building and shipping all of the other exciting updates planned for our Figma plugins for the second half of 2022. It also meant that many of our customers from Ukraine were also wanting to pause their use of the products while things were so uncertain. Just weeks later after the new plugin was released, we were taken by surprise and went through a very rapid and intensive full rebrand across every aspect of the business and codebase from Figmatic to Hypermatic.Īfter that, we had to deal with the fallout of the sanctions put on Russia, which meant that all of our Russian customers were cut off from using our products overnight, due to their credit card payments being blocked and cancelled. The first half of the year has been pretty full on, starting with the first couple of months being very focused on shipping our brand new Commentful Figma plugin. Even though Hypermatic is based in Australia, and not the United States (or Japan, as some seem to think, based on the design of this website), I do like the idea of doing these mid-year updates on Independence Day, and re-focusing it on continuing to declare our independence from legacy design/development workflows. As with the last mid-year update, this strictly business update also falls on July 4th.
