🎉 That's it! Figma works in the browser, which means you don't even need to install anything to use this or follow along in the workshop. There are some benefits to using the desktop app, so we'll explain below.
The desktop app is generally more robust and allows you to use local fonts. If you prefer having a separate app when working, feel free to download! (Not required.)
