Big news today — Payload CMS has officially been acquired by Figma!

As a developer who lives near Payload's HQ in Grand Rapids and actively uses Payload in my projects, I wanted to jump in and share my immediate thoughts.

In this video, I am reacting to the announcement, walking through what it might mean for the future of Payload, and share my hopes (and concerns) about how this acquisition could impact open source, self-hosting, and developer experience moving forward.

Here's what I'm covering:

What Figma’s acquisition could mean for open source projects
How design-to-code automation might evolve
What developers like me are hoping to see next
Why I’m still backing Payload CMS
