Let's see how it goes in the US. If everything goes as expected, I'll maybe publish a second edition after the Summer :)

Thank you so much Roy! Can't wait to hear your thoughts about it :)

Hahahah that would be fun to work on next!

Thank you so much! Yes, it's fascinating to me how a massive and generational company like Google starts as a "side project".

This! This is exactly why I built makers.so.
Framer is an amazing tool. But if you are in the Figma ecosystem, it's boring to duplicate your work on a different tool. Same for Webflow. I'm trying to make life easier for Figma users.
Happy to help you get started with makers. Anything you need, just let me know :)

Here's an example: https://makers.so/s/5b16df0f-17dc-4045-b048-5047182e2856/
The output code isn't suitable for sharing / exporting yet.

Yes, great question.
Free forever means your site with live on a makers.so domain like "https://makers.so/s/{random_string}". Here's an example: https://makers.so/s/5b16df0f-17dc-4045-b048-5047182e2856/
$12/month is for publishing to a custom domain.

Thanks! Happy to answer any questions to help you get started.

DONE. It's fixed :)
Thank you so much, great feedback.

> Can the designs be exported or are they locked-in to your platform?
The designs live inside of Figma. The code is not exportable at the moment. But I'll definitely have to prioritize that.
> But maybe I am looking at it wrong? Interesting feedback. I'm building the site with Vue, that's why the content is through JS. This is clearly one of the features I need to improve.
Thanks for your feedback.

Wow, that's incredible to hear. I'm happy to help you get started. Let me know how can I help make those projects come to live :)

Thanks Tom. I'd love to hear yours and your designer's thoughts about the plugin. Happy to answer any questions you might have.

This is brilliant! We designers like freedom of thought, and Figma give us that. The goal with makers.so is: inside the same tool I use to lay out ideas, I can also publish them (i.e. use makers.so components) without ever depending on a developer or third party app.
A "Component Engineer" is this second stage of the process (after playing around, I can now publish this with some rules).

Thanks so much! Hopefully, this will give Figma designers superpowers :)

> How do you handle updates?
You change directly in Figma and click "Update Site" when you are ready.
> How are menus handled? Modals and dropdowns aren't supported yet. Only the navigation bar pre-built component has a default dropdown for the links. I'm working on this feature already, and I'm thinking of using the Prototype features from Figma that already allow you to control menus.
> How are links handled? Directly in the Plugin. You can link to different pages or first child sections
> Do you allow exporting of code Not yet, but I have to add this soon. I'm having a lot of requests for this.
Thank you! Happy to answer more questions.

Such great feedback, Tom. Thank you for taking the time. I'm definitely going to distill all your notes and thoughts on this.
It's funny you mentioned Microsoft FrontPage. Alexis Ohanian [0] also made the same comment :)

Wow, thanks for sharing. It's great to know I'm actually making Figma more powerful. Please feel free to reach out, I'm happy to help you get started :)

Thanks so much! You have no idea how happy your comment made me feel. After so many hours of endless coding, this is a breath of fresh air :)
Also, you are actually my ideal customer: a Figma user who wants to have an easy and fast way of managing his / her portfolio or personal site. I'm more than happy to answer any questions and keep this conversation going.
