I built a Smart Animate preflight prototype — would this be useful at $18 one-time?

I've been looking into recurring Smart Animate failures caused by structural issues such as mismatched layer names, hierarchy/path differences, or ambiguous matching.

I built a small local proof-of-concept that scans Smart Animate transitions before preview and flags common structural matching risks.

What it would do:

  • identify Smart Animate transitions automatically
  • compare source/destination layer names and hierarchy
  • flag duplicate-name / ambiguous matching risks
  • show an issue list so you can jump to the suspicious layers
  • run locally and read-only, with no file upload

What it would not claim to do:

  • fix every Smart Animate problem
  • diagnose Figma runtime/rendering bugs
  • replace preview/testing

Price I’m testing: $18 one-time.

This is still a concept/prototype validation, not a finished public plugin.

Which best describes you? Please reply with 1, 2, 3, or 4:

  1. I actively use Smart Animate and would seriously consider buying this for $18 one-time
  2. I actively use Smart Animate, but $18 feels too high
  3. I actively use Smart Animate, but I probably wouldn’t need this
  4. I don’t actively use Smart Animate

If you’ve had a Smart Animate failure you wish a preflight tool had caught, I’d also love to hear what happened.
