I built a Figma plugin for quick data calculations
I lead design on a B2B SaaS product. It's quite data-heavy in places. Using placeholder content in data tables, checkout summaries and dashboards is a big no-no for us. It might seem like using random numbers saves time at first, but sooner or later there's documentation to write and plenty of clarifications to be made. It throws off customers during interviews – "hey, that's not really my sales target!". It confuses stakeholders at review time– "what's this data point supposed to be?" I built a Figma calculator plugin for my team so that they spend less time doing mental maths. It…
I built a Figma plugin for quick data calculations launched on March 10, 2025 with 16 votes, #1,195 of 7,215 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.
In plain words
This Figma plugin performs calculations directly within design files, enabling designers to compute sums, differences, averages, and percentages without leaving the application.

This reduces confusion during customer interviews and stakeholder reviews while speeding up the design process by eliminating manual math calculations.

Every tool I tried would jump straight to screens. But that's not how product design actually works. You don't just design screens. You think through the problem first. The flows, the edge cases, the user journey, where people will get stuck. Then the design comes finally. Figr does that thinking layer first. It parses your existing product via a chrome extension or takes in screen-records, then works through the problem with you before designing. Surfaces edge cases,…
