Show HN: I built a Figma plugin for quick data calculations
figma.comI 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 calculates sums, differences averages and percentages, and makes it easy to use real-looking data in designs.
