Scripter: Sketching with Code

If you love Figma as much as I do, this may excite you. All-round smart dude Rasmus Andersson has built a Figma plugin called Scripter that lets you write simple scripts (in Typescript) to play with the Figma API. That means algorithmically generating rectangles, for example. Or playing with timers
