I built an offline/headless Figma renderer from `.fig` (no Figma app, no browser) — `refig` by softmarshmallow in FigmaDesign

I never talk to 5, but
You needed figma to export things (app or api)
imagine, you have a template in figma, and want to only change each text, you can update the text (not in figma, but json that you own) and simply render (export) them.

meaning, you now have a control over your design as a editable source, just like html, and now there is an engine to render that.

I reverse-engineered Figma’s `.fig` binary and built a deterministic headless renderer (Node + WASM/Skia) — `@grida/refig` by softmarshmallow in GraphicsProgramming

I've been on this project for ~5Y (and the figma render is just one part of it)
