Hey, techie 👋 Today we’re diving deep with Sannan, the creator behind Cloneify, the Figma plugin that is here to revolutionize your design workflow. Sannan isn’t just the mastermind behind Cloneify; his background in product management and his personal journey in the realm of design have gave him a keen understanding of designers' needs, thereby fostering the inception of Cloneify.
Sannan is now works in Founder's office at Flexiple (buildd) and he’s working on a product called Meewz on the side - which combines news and memes for a fun reading session. HackerPulse readers can join the beta crew for Meewz with this link.
How It Started
Sannan, who loves design, found himself facing the same annoying problems over and over again while using Figma. He noticed that he kept wasting time adjusting the size and style of icons every time he used different packages. This gave him an idea to create a tool that could fix this problem, saving time and energy for designers like him. That’s how Cloneify was born.
What is Cloneify?
Cloneify is a handy tool that helps designers avoid the repetitive task of adjusting the style and size of different objects one by one. It lets you copy the style of one object and paste it onto others, making sure everything looks consistent without all the hassle.
The Technology Behind Cloneify
Sannan created Cloneify all by himself. Even though he isn't a trained engineer, he used JavaScript and chat tools to make this helpful plugin for Figma. This shows that with some hard work and self-learning, anyone can create something useful and successful.
How Does Cloneify Work?
In the world of design, every little detail — like the color or the size of an object — matters. Cloneify helps manage these details by letting you pick a style from one object and apply it to others. This way, you can have a bunch of objects share the same style quickly and easily.
How We Got Here
Creating Cloneify was a satisfying adventure for Sannan. He started by making something to solve his own problems. After learning some JavaScript and getting advice from online chats, he built the first version of Cloneify. When he shared it with a community of other builders, more and more people started using it.
What started as a personal project has grown into a tool that benefits many designers. Sannan’s story is a great example of how solving your own problems can end up helping others too. As more people start using Cloneify, it stands as a beacon of how a simple idea can transform into a solution that makes people’s lives easier.
