Built a plugin to help understand complex Auto Layouts—looking for feedback
Â
Hi everyone!
Â
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.
Â
So I built VizDeez.
Â
Instead of focusing on code generation, it visualizes the layout structure. You can:
Â
- 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.
Â
I'd really appreciate feedback from designers and developers who work with Auto Layout regularly.
Â
- Does the concept make sense?
- Is this something you'd find useful in your workflow?
- What would make it more valuable?
Â

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