A lot of apps start as single player and then try and bolt the multiplayer experience on later. But Figma was designed around collaboration. I actually think this was more crucial than whether it was web or native.

I'm a big proponent of native apps — but credit where it's due, Figma is just one of the slickest web apps. The performance is amazing, and it really never feels like it suffers from being in browser.
