Building a Login Page with Uno Platform and Figma

Nowadays, the majority of mobile, web, and desktop applications require some form of authentication to access their features and content. The intent for developers is always to create a simple page with an input field for email/password, and a login button that still reflects the brand’s image.

Now for those who are unfamiliar with Figma, it is a free, browser-based design tool that makes the developer handoff process smooth and seamless by allowing developers to readily access the full design files. In the Microsoft ecosystem, we have been using the likes of Expression Blend, Adobe XD, Sketch, and InVision. But Figma has skyrocketed in adoption among designers, as can be seen by a survey done by UX Tools. Even a quick Twitter poll we conducted in October 2021 showed Figma as one of the main design tool choices amongst developers. Given the UX Tools poll above, we can conclude that Figma is yet to get even more adoption among .NET developers. 3 Features that Make Figma Stand Out Above Other In our opinion Figma stands out above other options for following reasons: Collaboration With Figma, multiple team members can work on
