This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Figma is NOT free software. It is proprietary, and hosted.

Resolve is also proprietary.

It said free. Not open source

Difference beeing, you can download resolve onto your pc and use it forever without updating, even if they decide to cancel the free version or get bankrupt. Figma runs entirely web based and if Adobe buys it it can be killed off at any point.

Penpot is a better option here.
