Built a plugin to help understand complex Auto Layouts—looking for feedback

 

Hi everyone!

 

As a frontend developer, I often found myself spending a lot of time trying to understand how large Figma layouts were structured before I could start implementing them. Existing tools provide the properties, but I wanted a way to quickly understand the relationships between containers, spacing, and sizing.

 

So I built VizDeez.

 

Instead of focusing on code generation, it visualizes the layout structure. You can:

 

- See a visual map of a selected frame and its immediate children.

- Hover to understand gaps, padding, and sizing with interactive animations.

- Drill down into nested containers.

- Inspect layers and copy CSS/Tailwind snippets when needed.

 

I'd really appreciate feedback from designers and developers who work with Auto Layout regularly.

 

- Does the concept make sense?

- Is this something you'd find useful in your workflow?

- What would make it more valuable?

Thanks! I'm actively improving it based on community feedback, so I'd love to hear your thoughts.
