Hey HN, I built Figmage as a Figma plugin because I was super frustrated with managing images and creating image assets every time I wrote a blog post.

Figma is a great tool to design and manipulate images from cropping, resizing, adding annotations, and making cover graphics, and you can export them. So Figmage gives a shareable link to your designs that live in Figma.

Updating your design in Figma, and publishing, will update the images everywhere they're referenced. That means no re-uploads, and re-deploys.

"It’s the most tedious part of making websites and writing blog posts."

This is great in that it is exactly the opposite for me. Manipulating images is what I enjoy. Writing text is like pulling teeth only after getting the root canal. I'd rather manipulate pixels any day!

This is very intriguing. Link rot scares me, but I guess it's no more of any issue than any other 3rd party image hosting. Nice one!
