So GitHub copilot is gonna be paid Is it worth 10$ a month for the amount of time it saves me? Definitely Definitely not paying for it tho, it's using open source code and the code i write to feed it's AI without giving any of this money back to the projects it uses

👋 I made a thing ✨ An SVG to JSX plugin for Figma so you can get the JSX code automatically inside Figma:

SVG to JSX | Figma

This plugins allows you to copy SVG code as a react component so that you don't have to transform it. How to use: - Click an icon or anything you want as a JSX with the right mouse - Click plugins...
