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 Adobe’s methods. I see five available seats but can’t downgrade to the number I’ve actually been using for a year. Upgrading is easy, but downgrading? Not without contacting support

A new feature is coming to Figma that lets you use a slot-based component approach β€” without the need for the usual slot workaround where you create separate components to act as slots ✨

Ever asked yourself why you're even on Threads?
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!

By the way... Color Extractly doesn’t just pick colors, it shows how your color combo behaves in light & dark modes or even on gradientsΒ

Small update to the Indexly for Figma ToC style mimic feature, which had been partially broken since the 3.0 release. It’s back now, and your ToCs and component property maps can be as lovely β€” or as ugly β€” as you want them to be

Small quality-of-life update for the Contently Figma plugin: if you haven’t activated Live Selection, you can now click on individual items to view their content. No need to render everything from all selected elements using the Scan Selection button anymore

Convert any Figma component into a professional property matrix, either to clean up your components or to create a component ToC for the entire document

The Masonry Grid feature from the Color Extractly Figma toolbox now works via Quick Actions as well, which means you can use it & update without opening the plugin

That moment when you make breaking changes to critical dependencies... and everything still works after the update.
Looks like I actually built my tools pretty solid xD

Moving one component from one design system to another = days of manual work. ✨ Not anymore.

Added a new feature toggle to Indexly that allows you to render an image of the related Figma frame in the ToC, making it easier to find and jump to the right frame without reading

Currently working on long-overdue core improvements for Contently. These updates enhance the templating experience with new detail pages, quick actions, and shortcuts.

Previously hidden in the backend, these features will be accessible in the UI for more manual control over your templates.
