Figma's Config event just happened, and they launched four new products (!), one of which is called Sites. It lets you build your layout in Figma, and it turns that design into a live website... or well, something that resembles a websites anyway.
I don't normally like being negative or bashing a company, but when a company of their size makes a product this bad, I think it's important to call them out on it, and raise awareness about some of the problems.
