Spent 6 hours redrawing 42 icons by hand, then found out Figma has a plugin that does it in 4 minutes | Crafting With Code

Last Tuesday I sat down to redraw a whole icon set for a client in Chicago because the old ones had inconsistent stroke widths. I zoomed into each one, nudged nodes, and lined up corners pixel by pixel until my eyes hurt. Around hour 5 I opened Figma to grab a reference and saw a plugin called Iconify in the sidebar that I had never clicked before. It pulled 42 matching icons at 24px with 2px strokes in about 4 minutes, and they looked cleaner than mine. I just sat there staring at my screen for a minute. Now I keep wondering how many other boring parts of my workflow I do by hand because I never poked around the menus. What plugins do you all wish you had found sooner?
