Building your own Figma plugin is a super power. One moment you have a problem/idea and the other moment you have a custom plugin to solve that exact problem.

Full honesty, I actually did web development for 2 years, so I’m not unfamiliar with some clean Javascript, but coding a Figma plugin would mean re-learning a lot and spending hours coding and fixing bugs.

Here are 2 methods I used to build the plugin without writing a single line of code; Use whichever seems more useful/convenient to you.

Artifig AI — The Beginner Approach

Artifig AI is a Figma plugin that builds Figma plugins! It opens as a little popup with a prompt window.

Describe the plugin you want to build with details such as functionality, UI and visuals that you want in the plugin.
You can even upload an image of how the UI of the plugin should look like and even edit with/without code.
