Mendelsohn

This is a Figma plugin that creates visual diffs from nodes in a Figma file. It's used to see what's changed over time.

Local development

1. git clone the repo.
2. npm install
3. npm start

Then, in the Figma Desktop App.

1. Go to Plugins > Development > Import Plugin from Manifest...
2. Choose the ./manifest.json file in the root of the cloned repo.
3. Go to Plugins > Development > Mendelsohn to launch the plugin

Once the build is running, changes will be automatically watched and recompiled. You must use the shortcut Cmd + Opt + P to reload the plugin in Figma after it recompiles.

Diff settings

The default threshold for the plugin to detect a difference is currently 0.1. Subtle changes may not be flagged, but this threshold prevents false diffs caused by text antialiasing.
