Pushing Figma to its limits
summary
Session shows concrete, reproducible Figma hacks and what actually works: a zero-pixel frame trick to pin geometry out of Auto Layout; a single-component aspect-ratio system based on the diagonal re-sizer; a reusable spacer for pixel-precise instance resizing; a double-180 flip trick to fix stacking order; techniques to resize layers inside instances; a playable maze built with interactive components; and a World Clock plugin — all files and plugins live in the Community and demonstrably work.
