Design software, think Photoshop/Illustrator but it's more focused on website/app design.
So Dreamweaver type software? Did that die?
No, it's more like a free Illustrator especially made for web design. Although it'll spit out some shitty code, Figma isn't a WYSIWYG static site generator. But you can still build prototypes and mockups of limited functionality complete with animations and user clicks that are just for show. It also has a fairly sizeable community with plug-ins and templates. It's a really neat tool overall.
Not going to lie I haven't touched Dreamweaver in over 10 years.
That was Macromedia as well if I am not mistaken.
