This show will help you navigate and demystify the Power Platform. I started this show as I wanted to learn from other Developers, Consultants, Contractors, and Entrepreneurs with many years more of experience than me, and since I was going to have these conversations anyway, I thought I could turn them into a show and let others learn with me. I hope you enjoy these unfiltered conversations.

Spend Days Making Your Power Apps? Use This Tool: Power Hour Podcast #29 - Lukas Pavelka #2

Stop wrestling with responsive Canvas Apps.

Lukas Pavelka is back to demo the brand-new Power Apps for Figma DesignKit UI, a beta responsive layout system, rapid icon swapping, one-click PDF docs, and a Power BI DesignKit prototype for dataflows.

If you build on the Power Platform and care about speed, consistency, and client-ready prototypes—this one’s loaded.

What you’ll learn

1. New DesignKit UI (v4.1.3) and layout improvements

2. Responsive screens (beta): top/content/bottom containers + quick tweaks in Power Apps

3. Swap Icons while preserving size and color (huge time-saver)

4. Clickable Figma prototypes that mirror Power Apps navigation (import now, export planned)

5. Theme & style controls across containers (batch text/background updates)

6. Auto-generated PDF documentation (screens, colors, typography, icons)

Roadmap: annotation maker, user prefix, extended property maker, inherited naming, property helper, UDF maker

Model-driven progress + Power BI DesignKit (free) for dataflows import/export between Figma & Power BI
