Plugin Beta

Hi! Welcome to the Framer Plugin Beta. We are excited to have you here to help shape the future of Plugins in Framer. Everything is moving fast and changing quickly, which means your feedback is very valuable. You will be able to give early feedback and flag issues by tagging the team directly in Slack. We greatly appreciate your help.

Rules

  1. No sharing of Links, Plugins, Code or Teasers, unless specifically asked to do so by the Framer team.

  2. Do not use the Beta version for Templates, as others won’t have access to the same features.

  3. Do not copy or share Remix Links while using the Beta version with others not in the Plugin Beta.

Additionally you may reveal that you have early access to Framer Plugins, but please keep details light beyond that.

How to Help

Our top priorities are understanding your initial impressions of Plugins to give the best possible experience, as well as ensuring you are able to build your Plugin vision.

Please overshare your initial impressions in the channel

  • What are your initial impressions?

  • What was challenging or confusing?

  • What feels harder than you expect?

  • What are you missing to fulfill your vision?

How to Start Building

To start you will need to use a project that is opted into the Beta. A Framer employee has to give your Workspace access to Beta first. We can organize this in the Slack Channel. Once this is done, you can opt-in any specific project to the Beta Channel by opening the Main Menu and clicking on Use Beta.

Once this is enabled, you should see a Status Bar appear below, indicating your project now has access to all Beta features, in addition to Plugins. Beta projects get our latest builds, which means you may run into some bugs. Please let us know if you run into any issues, and you can opt your project out of the Beta at any time.

After this, in the Preferences menu, you will find an option for the Plugin Beta. If you enable this preference, the plugin menu will appear in your toolbar in place of the actions menu.

You are now ready to build plugins. Learn how in the quick start docs.
