Power Hour Podcast
Podcast Description
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.

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
