Asterism

Asterism

An Are.na image browser for Figma. Search any public channel, browse its images, and place them directly onto your canvas — or generate a moodboard in one click.


Features

  • Search Are.na channels by keyword or paste a channel URL
  • Browse images in a grid with infinite scroll
  • Click any image to place it on the Figma canvas at its correct aspect ratio
  • Recent — channels you browse are saved automatically
  • Saved — pin channels by URL or slug; persists across sessions
  • Surprise me — generates a 4×4 moodboard by randomly sampling your saved channels
  • Find similar ★ — hover any image for a co-occurrence moodboard from channels it appears in across Are.na
  • Multi-select — shift+click images then hit Drop to place them as a grid on canvas

Install

  1. Download ZIP and unzip
  2. Open the Figma desktop app
  3. Go to Plugins → Development → Import plugin from manifest...
  4. Select manifest.json from the unzipped folder

Local plugins only work in the Figma desktop app, not the browser.
