Huge milestone! After three weeks of banging my head against the wall,
I finally managed to make even massive local icon sets usable, including advanced drag and drop.
Next step: remote templates!
Made several updates to the Indexly Map renderer.
You can now switch the component structure between compact and regular mode to better fit your design system.
Hope you like it!
At this point, I think Figma has a whole payment scam going on, even worse than Adobeβs methods. I see five available seats but canβt downgrade to the number Iβve actually been using for a year. Upgrading is easy, but downgrading? Not without contacting support

I kinda like having cool people around and sharing some of my productivity-focused Figma plugins, hoping they help you too, not just our internal teams.
Always makes my day when I hear the plugin saved someone a ton of time!
