it's free and easy to understand if you're already familiar with photoshop, illustrator, indesign, and XD. although, it's not really recommended to use figma for print bc it's meant for web only and indesign is still the standard.
there are a bunch of great figma plugins out there too that are also free to install. we mostly use figma for e-commerce prototyping/UX design and so far, we haven't encountered any problems sharing figma projects with clients.

Hey! There are actually a lot of platforms where you can build your site without knowing HTML/CSS. Some of them i've already tested, some just planning to do, but i will list here all of them so you can choose the one that will suit your goals better
1 — Framer
Basically it's like figma, but for websites
2 — Readymag
A lot of templates for different sites, but with some bugs.
3 — Cargo
Good if like brutalist websites
4 — Mmm
Simple tool for one page websites
5 — Ctrl
Haven't tried yet, but they seem nice
6 — Webflow
This one is a little harder than the previous ones, but maybe one day you would want to try something like that!
Good luck with creating your site!

You can purchase their photoshop, illustrator and indesign alternatives for $169. I know, not free, and they're desktop-only.
Adobe Express is free and similar to Canva as a layout maker.
GIMP is a free photoshop alternative, but it's desktop-only. gimp.org

there is something so deeply intimate about knowing a person’s penmanship. you could know someone for years even but not know what their handwriting looks like.
i had a coworker (turned friend) at my old job tell me how when she misses me she looks at the post-it with the passwords i had written for my work accounts.
(sharing mine here bc in my head i’m friends with everyone who comes across this post. pi.fyi community has gotten me through some tough times last year and i love learning new things through people’s recs here!!)

it still baffles me that there are people out there who heavily rely on chatgpt, maybe even have fully replaced google, to make the decisions for them. idk which is worse using chatgpt or tiktok as a search engine bc what the actual fuck ?? 😭

best believe the chismosa in me was #activated and it’s always fun to see someone else’s reactions to what they’re watching
