<p>I was supposed to post this yesterday, but life always happens, right? š
</p><p>Anyhoo, weāre still in Day 8 of the Software/Web Dev Tools series.
</p><p>Hope you guys aren't mad that I skipped a day. Letās get into it!
</p><p>Day 8 of 30 Software/Web Dev Tools in 30 Days
</p><p>Tool: Figma
</p><p>Category: UI/UX Design & Prototyping
</p><p>Letās talk about Figma, a powerful tool for designing websites and apps before writing any code.
</p><p>Figma is used to plan how a site or app will look and work. It helps with both UI (User Interface) and UX (User Experience) design.
</p><p>What can Figma do?
</p><p>š¹ Design clean layouts, buttons, menus, and other interface elements
</p><p>š¹ Create wireframes to map out how pages are structured
</p><p>š¹ Prototype how a user will move from one screen to another
</p><p>š¹ Work with others on the same project, live and in real time
</p><p>Why Figma is great for beginners:
</p><p>š No need to install anything. It works right in the browser
</p><p>š It's free to get started
</p><p>š Easy to use with a drag-and-drop interface
</p><p>š No design background needed to begin
</p><p>Frontend developers, product teams, and designers use Figma to bring ideas to life before development starts.
</p><p>Starting with Figma helps you create a clear visual plan, making coding easier and faster later on.
</p><p>Have you tried Figma before, or is this your first time hearing about it?
</p><p>Follow me so you donāt miss Day 9.Ā </p><p>

At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate contentāuse it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio contentāhigh-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover imagesāif your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Contributor Rankings
The Contributor Rankings shows the Top 20 Contributors on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis.

The monthly score sums the score on all your insights in the past 30 days. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on TwoCents — these are community members that have engaged the most with other user's content.
