How will Figma outlive Claude Design or any LLM-based design tool in the next 2 years... I really do wonder
Hit me with that feedback! Also thank you for the kind words.

- If using a mouse without a side scroll wheel, how do I navigate the grid? I may have 20+ screens defined, and want to be able to grab an empty space in the grid and drag my way around. A mouse with side scroll solves this, because the main mouse wheel goes up and down. But without a side scroll mouse, I really cannot navigate.
- There's a ZOOM IN icon, but no ZOOM OUT icon in the left panel.
- I'd like an cleaner way to provide an existing design, or page, and get a new version. Yes, this is currently possible but the way you do this is (IMO) cludgy. I have to take a PNG, drag and drop it into the grid, then create a new empty prompt, then drag the output of the PNG into the input of the empty prompt. Then I reference the image with natural language "the image I've attached" ... but it'd be nice if at the very least, the prompt window gave me a way to reference the image, or some visual indicator that it sees it. If there's some better way to do this (create a new screen off of existing ones) please let me know.
- Performance. I have one screen that has like 40+ generated routes. The entire app. Its awesome but, it really starts to lag my M5 pro.
- Add some way to set the brand for an entire screen? Maybe I'm using this incorrectly but, every time I create a new prompt, I have to select the brand. I'm never cross pollinating brands so it seems like I should be able to set the brand ONCE on a grid, and any prompts started there use that brand?
- Maybe add some suggestions to help users generate different styles of designs? IDK maybe its just me but I've used this now across many different apps and the designs look great but, I'd love suggestions on how to improve them or mix it up. Sometimes I just find myself saying things like "make it modern and really awesome" but I know that's not the right term. There's industry standard terms, ideas, and directions for apps to be made in (for instance, retro pixelated) and it'd be cool to see suggestions somehow implemented. Not entirely sure how but, I could see it being very helpful?
- I see you recently added Teams. This was a big blocker at my workplace that I had to fight to get through. We need OKTA integration so that this can be added as an app which we login to through OKTA. At the moment I have a single account which is very non-standard for us, but your app is so good I pushed it through to get access on an individual basis.
Three ways. 1. Hold space and left click pan. 2. Press H to select the hand tool to navigate around the canvas. 3. Press "N" or "Shift+N" to focus the next/previous node (carry over hotkey from figma).

Right click to zoom out, or shift+click.

Totally hear ya on this one, I'm still working on a more fluid "redesign" flow. One note - you can @mention referenced elements. IE say "Redesign @webapp into dark mode". It'll bring up a selector when you press @ that lets you select imported nodes.

Would you mind sharing the file with me? Top right share button, add j@diffui.ai. I'll take a look.
> Add some way to set the brand for an entire screen?
Good call. I'll make it so the brand selector maintains the previously selected brand, if there is one. Should be live in a couple hours.

I defo need to do this more, since you aren't the first user to mention that they don't necessarily have the language to convey a style they want. One thing that might help here is the shuffle appearance feature (open the brand dropdown, select randomize style). It'll inject some entropy which will let you window shop styles. I need to make a flow though that actually teaches the users the right terminology. Lemme think on this.

Noted. Will work on this, but this will take a bit longer to get through. One note is it's very likely I'll have this as an enterprise-only option (eg the highest price tier). I am about to redo those pricing tiers however, so enterprise will be cheaper per image.
