Design Thursday #68
A weekly recap of everything you need to know about tools, events, guidelines and design in general.
Webflow interactions powered by GSAP
A while ago, Webflow acquired GSAP, first making it free to use, but now it's built-in Webflow. You can access it via Interactions to use animations like SplitText, Staggers, and ScrollTrigger all without writing a single line of code. Interactions also has been redesigned with a horizontal timeline to have more control over your animations. Make sure you select Interactions with GSAP in the Interactions panel.

Data Binding images in Rive is now available for everyone. This allows you to dynamically add images to your Rive animations so you can create more interactive animations.

Supabase & Glass Effects in Figma
Figma Make now has a Supabase integration, allowing you to build more powerful prototypes and experiences with built-in authentication and data collection.
There's also a brand-new feature releasing in Figma today: Glass Effects. You can replicate Apple's Liquid Glass with glass-like shader effects. As of right now, it's not available yet, but it will be released throughout the day.
Spline for iOS 26 & Self-Hosted exports
Spline is now available for Xcode 26 and iOS 26, so you can optimally integrate your 3D elements in your app. On top of that, you can also export your Spline to be self-hosted. This will export a self-contained Next.js, React, or Vanilla package as a ZIP that you can integrate however you want.

iPad viewer & landscape mode in Play
Prototyping app Play will soon add support for a new iPad view and landscape mode, making it a great way to test your prototype for accessibility, as the EAA (European Accessibility Act) technically requires you to support both portrait and landscape modes.

Redesigned versions & Code File APIs
Framer has redesigned their versions page so you can clearly see what has been changed in all of the iterations of your website. It's available in both Settings and via Canvas.

Framer also introduced Code File APIs to allow plugins to read, edit, and manage code files. This can be components or overrides. One example of this is a new Code Versions plugin that lets you preview, browse, and restore previous versions of your code.
Dreamflow updates
Dreamflow has received a new update that allows you to:
- Make layout tweaks, adjust properties, manage themes, and assets
- Write and edit code to make all the changes you need
- Publish directly to the App Store and Play Store, a first of it's kind
Building with Claude Code and Figma MCP
Dive Club posted their latest video with Dan Hollick from Tailwind, going over how he uses Claude Code to build products. They dive into prompting tactics and how to work with Figma MCP.
