  • Fixed a bug with cross app actions.

  • Assorted other bug fixes and improvements.

14 December 2022

  • Added Buzzy's passwordless login, login with password and more to the Figma plugin. See Adam explain it here.

  • Assorted tweaks and bug fixes.

6 December 2022​​

  • Urgent fix for (overnight) breaking change to Figma's API where 'depth=0' is no longer recognised.

  • Added an extra option to the 'HTML' field type - 'trusted iframes' now let you embed iframes from external services that require access to the root domain, for instance, Youtube or Vimeo embeds. See the docs for more info.

  • Assorted tweaks to the plugin UI, including layout of the publish tab, labels and terminology tweaks: 'microapps' are now referred to as 'data tables'.

18 November 2022

  • Introduced a 'debug' preview mode. You can 'preview' your app in a debug mode that lets you highlight items, inspect the markup that Buzzy translates from Figma, view actions properties and provides warnings for things like broken formulas, or layout mistakes (eg form fields or submit buttons without a relevant form defined). Watch Adam demo it here.

17 November 2022​​

  • Bug fix affecting checkboxes field.

  • Bug fixes on assorted responsive layout scenarios.

14 November 2022

  • Added checks for Figma's new 'Section' layer type.

  • Massive performance boost! Taking advantage of changes to the Figma plugin API, plus some of our own code tweaks, has optimised how the the Buzzy Figma plugin scans a Figma file. Using the plugin should be significantly faster, especially on large Figma files with thousands of layers.

10 November 2022

  • The 'Update current screen only' option on the Publish tab now is now available if you have any layer inside a screen selected - you don't need to go and select the screen layer itself. Here's a video!

31 October 2022​​

  • NEW FEATURE! The new 'Update field' action lets you set or update the value of a field via a formula, with the option to also navigate to a different screen. This has a ton of potential uses - from simply incrementing a value or toggling UI elements through to building complex select controls. Watch Adam explain it here.

28 October 2022

  • UI tweaks and cleanup, including redesigned plugin 'Publish' tab.

  • Fixes to published layout settings for items within a horizontal autolayout:

    • ​Multiple items set to 'fill' inside the auto layout now all render at the same width (evenly dividing the available space between them irrespective of their content).

    • An item set to a fixed width inside the auto layout, with a max-width applied and no min-width, now resizes only between that fixed width and the (larger) max-width - it won't automatically shrink below the fixed width.

    • An item set to a fixed width inside the auto layout, with a min-width applied and no max-width, now resizes only between that (smaller) min-width and the (larger) fixed width - it won't automatically grow beyond the fixed width.

26 October 2022

  • UI tweaks.

  • Improved image/vector processing and uploads.

  • Fix 'fill' visibility issues.

  • Empty vectors now don't render as an empty 'img' tag in published app.

  • Added option to only update selected screens on publish (meaning you don't need to update the entire app if you're just applying a change to a single or a few screens).

  • 'Author' and 'Submitted date' are now available as metadata fields via the plugin.

7 - 19 October 2022

  • Rendering and layout fixes.

4 - 5 October 2022

  • Quickly view/select all Buzzy markup components by type. In the Design tab, click the 'eye' icon next to the accordion toggles.

  • Better clearing of Buzzy markup; you can select a Figma layer and clear all children of Buzzy markup, or select multiple layers and clear them.

  • Display warnings in the Figma plugin when Buzzy field modes are mismatched with their context (for instance, if you have a field in 'insert' mode without a wrapping 'form').

  • More performance improvements.

28 - 30 September 2022

  • Extract background colour and text mode during conversion (for native apps).

  • Added cross app insert and edit rules to CMS - meaning you can set up automatic aggregation functions across microapps.

  • Performance improvements.

14 - 18 September 2022

  • Initial (alpha/beta) release of cross-app aggregation rules; allows you to 'watch' a microapp for changes or submissions and automatically perform aggregations such as sum, average and more on the submitted values.

  • Performance improvements and bug fixes.

12 September 2022

  • BREAKING CHANGE: Formula fields and JSONata show/hide formulas (on Buzzy Layout components) now treat Date field values as objects, not strings. You may need to update your formulas to reflect this.

    • ​A Date field is now an object like this: {"val:" (date in millis)}

    • To return its value in a JSONata formula, call it like this: `Datefieldname`.val

    • Learn more about JSONata date functions here.

  • If you're running Buzzy apps based on some of our demo file examples in Figma (like the CRM app, or the task list demo), please go and download newer versions - the old ones contain formulas that by extracting a date value from a string (as that's what was being returned).

  • Assorted bug fixes and improvements.

6 September 2022​

  • Improvements to JSONata Formula fields, including handling null values.

  • Loading spinner (between screens) now gets background colours and sizing from the screen design.

  • Performance improvements and bug fixes.

24 August 2022

  • Initial Bluetooth 'connect' action added (more to come on this)!

9 August 2022

  • New 'slider' option on the number field type. Allows you to set min, max, steps and start values. Note: you'll need to publish your app first with it defined as a 'normal' number field, then edit the 'Advanced settings' for that field to access the 'slider' options. Styling options are still limited.

  • Assorted bug fixes.

6 August 2022

  • Prevent image strokes from breaking the converter.

  • Prevent 'parent row' relationship being defined for data/results when there isn't one.

  • Use png versions of svg graphics in the native app for better performance.

  • The usual minor tweaks and bug fixes.

4 August 2022

  • Added ability to access current URL in Buzzy formulas (via '_currentURL').

  • HTML 'title' attribute (eg in browser tab) now renders the app name.

26 July 2022

  • Assorted tweaks and bug fixes.

14 July 2022​

  • Improved initial loading and rendering of views.

  • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Tweaks to the map component and search bar.

  • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​More performance improvements and bug fixes.

  • Minor fixes and tweaks.

22 June 2022

  • Added support for different button field modes (edit and insert).

  • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Fixed rendering of various fields including date/time, checkboxes and maps.

  • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Prevent duplicate field creation during data imports.

  • ​​Prevent the 'Migration required' message from appearing on files running the plugin for the first time.

  • Assorted bug fixes and improvements.

16 June 2022

  • Field definitions now include font settings. If you define a field on a Frame or Auto layout container layer, Buzzy will now find the closest child Text layer and use its font, size and colour settings in the field. Previously we'd just read the background/padding/stroke of the container, but the input text would render using default settings (ie dark text) - obviously not great for dark interfaces with light text. The workaround was to define the field on the Text layer (that way the font settings were passed across) - this still works too. Note that some field types and elements (eg the rich text field, or error messages) still render with their own UI - there's more work to do here.

  • More bug fixes and minor enhancements.

31 May 2022

  • The 'Import' tab has been removed. The data import screen now lives under the 'Data' tab - via the button at the bottom right.

  • Minor bug fixes.

18 May 2022

  • An update to keep pace with some of the new stuff introduced by Figma at Config 2022!

    • Absolute position within an auto layout - finally!

    • Negative spacing within an auto layout

  • More bug fixes and minor enhancements.

6 May 2022

  • Re-jigged the 'Info' tab - it's now using a 'cog' icon (indicating settings) and includes a link to your account/user profile in the Buzzy CMS.

  • The usual 'under the hood' stuff - more tweaks, refinements, bug fixes and performance improvements.

29 April 2022​

  • Add support for custom width and height on html field type (including units other than px - eg %, em/rem, vw/vh).

  • Performance. Performance improvements, my friend.

20 April 2022​

  • Add option to pass parent result row to the next screen. This allows navigate, submit and delete actions to target the parent row (or an embedded row) - eg link to a parent, show parent after submitting a child row, show parent after deleting a child.

  • Assorted bug fixes and improvements.

13 April 2022​

  • Added check for duplicate Buzzy components (views, layouts, forms and more). Marking a duplicated component as a 'reference' gives you control over re-use; when you edit the original, all 'reference' instances are updated automatically. Watch a quick intro video here.

  • 'Publish' tab displays warning for duplicated components or screens.

  • Assorted improvements and bug fixes.

28 March 2022

  • 🎉 Version 2.0 of the plugin released! 🎉

24 February 2022

  • Series of almost daily updates including new features, bug fixes and performance improvements.

  • Added search capabilities that work with the filtering and sorting options, and work across screens.

  • Added 3 additional sort keys to a microapp (Buzzy data container) - so you now have 6 sort keys you can use on your data/results.

  • Added 3 additional field types. These are all 'advanced' and require a bit of geek work to use:

    • Maps​

    • Crossapp

    • SVG / HTML

10~18 February 2022

  • Loads of bug fixes and more geeky back-end performance improvements.

8 February 2022

  • Fixed a bug where users not logged in to Buzzy couldn't access the generated apps.

  • More bug fixes and geeky back-end performance improvements.

21 January 2022​

  • Added options to rotate images in image fields/galleries (for instance, when adding via a device camera).

  • Various bug fixes and geeky back-end performance improvements, including a stack of new functionality around user management. Documentation and examples will follow once things quieten down a bit!

15 January 2022​

  • Fixed a bug where setting corner radius on all corners, then switching to independent corner radii would wrongly keep the common radius on all corners.

  • Fixed a layout issue where 'align-self: stretch' on layers inside an auto layout set to 'fill' was messing with responsive settings.

  • Fixed a bug where published inputs/fields were getting a default min-height.

  • Fixed an issue where vector or image graphics inside embedded field views were not being uploaded.

  • Fixed an issue where vector or image graphics inside standalone views (ie outside of a normal screen wrapper, as might happen with alternate 'no results' menu states) were not being loaded.

  • Fixed a bug where stroke colour opacity settings on were ignored.

  • Various bug fixes and geeky back-end performance improvements.

04 January 2022

  • Add support for multi-page forms in create mode. Previously we supported multi-page forms in edit mode, now you can now split a single 'create' form across multiple screens or views, and have the submit button/action only on the final screen or view.

  • Added a new 'single image only' option to the images field (and image uploader) allowing you to limit a user to uploading only one image at a time.

  • Fixed a bug where fill colour opacity settings on text (and ratings fields) was ignored.

  • Various bug fixes and performance improvements.

21 December 2021

  • Add sorting to view components.

    • Up to 3 fields per microapp can be defined as sort fields. 

    • Views will automatically sort on the first sort field if defined, or default to 'reverse submitted date' if not.

    • Views can be set up to explicitly sort any combination of the 3 defined sort fields, in a given precedence order and with asc/desc on each.

    • Views can also be given up to 5 filters using the defined sort fields - extra ones allow for ranges to be setup for numbers for example.

  • Add filtering to view components.

    • ​Text and Select fields - EQ, NE, REGEX and IN - where REGEX is a case insensitive regular expression search, and IN supports a comma delimited set of text strings.

    • Number and Rating fields - EQ, NE, LT, LTE, GTE, GT.

    • Date fields - LT, LTE, GTE, GE, plus PAST and FUTURE in days - i.e. either X days from now into the past, or X days from now into the future. Note that all the date operations work at the day level, not time - so GTE a given date means from the beginning of that day and greater.

    • Limitations: Totals don't take into account filtering on a particular view, and date filtering is limited to 'date/time' and 'date only' fields, and doesn't allow time selection.

  • Add support for a user login flow via Figma.

  • Hide and show rules can now be applied to layout components. Now you can use simple rules to render whole different layout components on a single screen, based on conditions or rules being met.

  • Add a 'team viewers' option for microapp data and views.

  • Various bug fixes and performance improvements.

17 December 2021

  • Layout tweaks to address a bug in handling 'fill container' in vertical flex/auto layouts.

  • Layout tweaks to address a positioning bug when using fixed position elements (eg top or bottom nav bars) with the Buzzy non-responsive 'fixed' layout mode.

16 December 2021

  • Added capability to switch server urls to the plugin.

  • Never mind that, did you see yesterday's release? We have flex wrap on auto layout components!

10 December 2021

  • Introducing flex wrap on auto layout components! You can now make any auto layout a Buzzy 'Layout' component via the plugin, and turn wrapping on - when published that layout will allow content to wrap. Grid menus, responsive layouts - so many use cases for this! Check out the demo video here!

  • A major amount of layout changes - setting a min / max width on an item now behaves a lot more consistently on publish, taking into account Figma layout settings and resolving logical conflicts (eg where Figma doesn't account for a width, but we add one, or proportional scaling issues if using Figma's 'scale' constraint, and more).

  • Performance improvements and bug fixes.

9 December 2021

  • Google Analytics integration is now even more flexible - you can create and pass custom event information to Google Analytics.

  • We're moving from Slack to Discord for our support community - Slack workspace links have been replaced with links to our new Discord server.

  • Tweaks to license/terms.

  • Performance improvements, including a 'recent' loop fix.

3 December 2021

  • Changes to the way overlays are stacked - now with a new navigation option to close all (if you're layering overlays).

  • 'Read-only' buttons can now be made clickable as well.

1 December 2021

  • Images (including background images) are now uploaded in the background after the app is published.

  • Parent fields can now be rendered in embedded views and forms - so you can show information from the parent row.

  • Keyboard actions on your published app now work - you can 'tab' to an action or input and use the 'enter' key to execute it, e.g. form submit, screen navigate etc.

26 November 2021

  • Added an intercom.com messenger/chat interface. You can get in touch with us directly for support - and as a bonus, you can turn it off or enable it on your own generated apps and sites by pointing it at your own intercom.com account via the app settings in Buzzy - watch a video on this.

23 November 2021

  • Performance improvements including minimising data transfer to app convertor, and removing redundant update events.

  • Layout bug fixes and improvements, including removing forced absolute positioning for layout component nodes and forced left/right in fixed screen mode.

  • Minor fixes and code cleanup. 

17 November 2021

  • Text

1 May 2022

  • Ellipse shapes are now supported without having to flatten them.

  • Background images on frames now supported, alongside a background colour fill. 

  • Added support for basic text transforms and formatting including text-transform (uppercase, lowercase, capitalise), text-decoration (underline), letter-spacing and text-indent.

12 November 2021

  • 'Back' navigation actions are now supported.

  • External links are now supported.

  • 'Home' screen type and navigation action renamed to 'Start' - this makes more sense in most cases, where the initial screen is generally not the users home screen :)

  • Fixed 'Start' (ex 'Home') navigation action and other minor bug fixes.

  • This is all minor stuff! Did you see yesterday's release? Automated screen and nav creation!

10 November 2021

  • Added automated screen and navigation scanning! When running the plugin in a Figma file for the first time, you can automatically scan and apply Buzzy markup for screens and navigation based on your Figma prototype settings. Watch a video of this in action.

4 November 2021

  • Button fields now supported.

  •  Tweaks to connection UI.

3 November 2021

  • Introducing 'fixed layout' mode! We notice users struggling with layout when converting their apps from Figma screen designs (with a static, fixed width and height) to a live situation where their screens were rendering in a resizable, responsive viewport such as a browser, or across different devices. So from now, screens are now going to render at the exact fixed size you define in Figma, and if you want the app to resize in the device or browser viewport you can manually turn on a more advanced 'responsive' mode. For backwards compatibility, files already marked up with Buzzy will remain in the more advanced 'responsive' mode - but you can turn this off at any time.
    Check out a brief video demo of this new feature  in action!

29 September 2021 - DOWNLOAD AND REINSTALL REQUIRED (1.0.6)​

  • Reinstated - Figma file key now required when you run the plugin. This was removed temporarily in the previous release to get around a Figma bug. It connects the Figma file to Buzzy, and is needed as we prepare to release the plugin to the Figma community (at which point you won't need to manually download and install it as a development plugin).

  • Various bug fixes and improvements.

28 September 2021 - DOWNLOAD AND REINSTALL REQUIRED (1.0.5)​

23 September 2021 - DOWNLOAD AND REINSTALL REQUIRED (1.0.4)

  • Figma file key now required when you run the plugin. This connects the Figma file to Buzzy, and is needed as we prepare to move the plugin out of beta (at which point you won't need to manually download and run it as a development plugin).
