Design software, think Photoshop/Illustrator but it's more focused on website/app design.

So Dreamweaver type software? Did that die?

No, it's more like a free Illustrator especially made for web design. Although it'll spit out some shitty code, Figma isn't a WYSIWYG static site generator. But you can still build prototypes and mockups of limited functionality complete with animations and user clicks that are just for show. It also has a fairly sizeable community with plug-ins and templates. It's a really neat tool overall.
