Strengths
  • •Proxy injection approach avoids complex build pipeline integrations or specific bundler plugins.
  • •Direct source file writes eliminate the common copy-paste loop from browser DevTools.
  • •Supports reordering siblings and inline text editing beyond just standard CSS properties.
Weaknesses
  • •Heavy Tailwind CSS reliance limits utility for standard CSS or styled-components users.
  • •Low star count and early stage suggest unproven stability on complex apps.

Upload App Store Screenshots Directly from Figma to App Store Connect

It removes the boring middle step — pick frames in Figma, validate sizes, preview store pages and push straight to App Store Connect with smart ordering and multi-locale support. Not groundbreaking if you're already scripting with Fastlane, but the one-click Figma → App Store UX is genuinely useful for small teams and marketers who hate manual exports; I’d want clarity on API limits and how it handles complex localization pipelines before buying.
