The Engineering behind Figma's Vector Networks
Fascinating post by Alex Harri (in 2019) describing FIgma's unique approach to providing an alternative to the classic Bézier curve pen tool. It includes a really clear explanation of Bézier curves, then dives into the alternative, recent field of vector networks which support lines and curves between any two points rather than enforcing a single path.
