🚀 Exciting Achievement! 🚀

Hey everyone! I'm thrilled to announce the release of Simplist V2.0, a minimalistic yet powerful to-do list widget created specifically for Figma and FigJam. 🎨📝
A little backstory: Simplist was crafted over a weekend back in May because I couldn't find a to-do list in the Figma Community that suited my needs. So, I decided to build my own and learn the Figma API along the way. Fast forward to today, and we've got nearly 900 users—without any promotion!

What's the Main features?

  • Task in a Click: Manage your tasks faster than ever.
  • Advanced Theming: Customize your experience by changing accent colors and toggling between light/dark modes.
  • Power Mode: Write your tasks in markdown and use them as tasks.

I recently rebuilt the widget from scratch and updated it yesterday. I'd love to hear what you think! This is my first time sharing it publicly, and your feedback would mean the world to me. 🙌

Check it out and let me know your thoughts!

About

Hi there! I'm Michel, and I'm kind of like a digital Jedi. ⚔️✨

For over 5 years, I've been juggling pixels and lines of code to create kick-ass web experiences. My thing? Turning crazy ideas into interfaces so intuitive that even your grandma could use them (and she'd love it!).

I'm a real jack-of-all-trades in design, business, and dev. UX, UI, front-end... I get my hands dirty at all levels. Why? Because I love taking on challenges and finding creative solutions that make a difference.

My philosophy? Tech is cool, but it should remain human and inclusive. I create digital experiences that make you want to say "Wow!" rather than toss your computer out the window.

So, if you're looking for someone to bring your wildest projects to life, or just to chat about the latest trends over a coffee (virtual or not), don't hesitate to get in touch. Together, we'll create something awesome! 💪🚀
