Linux support + Idea (Publish the Fidget plugin so that it works on Linux)

[juancarlospaco]

So I try to use it from Linux, I found a community made Figma clone, but is very limited, and Plugins wont work, neither from Web,
so maybe I was wondering why not just use the Plugin that serializes to JSON that works everywhere including web?.

• https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/831810197362029825/Style-to-JSON-(Beta)

Then parse back from JSON on Nim using std lib JSON module, otherwise mention on the readme that it wont work on Linux.

Oh, I did not know you can't develop plugins from the web. I think all I need to do is publish my plugin then I would be able to use it on linux. It appears you can use plugins from the web, just not develop them.

I used to do the json route but that was from the server api: https://www.figma.com/developers/api I don't like it.

The key thing to the plugin is that you can select just the part you need not the whole file. Importing the whole file is kind of difficult to work with.

Ok, ill wait for the Plugin publication then.

I have submitted the plugin, they still need to approve it.

[treeform]

Oh looks like its already there:

See if it works for you on linux?

[juancarlospaco]

Can you link it please?, it wont show up on my search, search seems buggy or limited on Figma.

[treeform]

Here is a direct link: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/856571767908827968/Fidget-Export

404 for me, weird, maybe it only shows up for your account, try on Incognito window also 404.

[treeform]

Yeah maybe they need to approve it, like they said before. I'll wait for their email or some thing.

[treeform]

They did not approve it. I will be resubmitting it again soon.

[juancarlospaco]

Oh no, I was waiting for it, weird! why did not approve?, I hope it gets resolved soon. 😿

Perhaps try changing description to be more about figma and avoid 'strong language'.

[juancarlospaco]

Maybe kinda copy the description of JSON exporter (?), not too much info "Plugin to export as YAML." (they dont have to know) :P

[juancarlospaco]

Additionally, can the script be modified to be a Tampermonkey script?. 🤔

[juancarlospaco]

Any news?, they rejected again?. 😐

It wont run on Virtualbox complains about GPU.

404s to me too.

I'm also getting 404. I also tried to do the tsc in the figma_plugin folder as directed, but... not sure how / where to import it into the Figma editor. 😕

I click on manage plugins and it just takes me to a web page on figma's site saying that there are no plugins installed. There are no controls to allow actually searching for or adding anything.

[treeform]

Plugin got approved and now you can just get it from here: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/945866846468157120/Fidget-Export

[juancarlospaco]
