I spent the last two weekends rebuilding my website extraction tool Zipit.
Looking for feedback from people who scrape websites , collect design token & more .
I built ZipIt 2.0 to make it easier to inspect and extract data from modern websites without piecing together multiple tools.
Instead of only downloading HTML, it also extracts the design layer and assets.
What's new in 2.0
⚡ Faster extraction engine
📦 Download complete websites as ZIPs
🖼️ Export editable Figma layers
🎨 Extract colours, typography, spacing & design tokens
🧩 Inspect UI components
📤 Export clean HTML/CSS , Images ,Videos , Lottie Json etc
☁️ Save assets and design systems to the cloud with ZipIt Web
♿ SEO and accessibility audit Insights in one click
🤖 Generate AI prompts to recreate interfaces with any ai tools
The goal isn't to replace frameworks like Scrapy or Playwright. It's aimed at designers, frontend developers, and anyone who wants to quickly inspect or reverse engineer a website's UI and assets.
I've got nearly 400 users on the Chrome Web Store, but I'd really value feedback from people who scrape websites regularly.
Some questions:
What websites or edge cases usually break extraction tools?
What features would make this genuinely useful in your workflow?
Any obvious limitations you'd expect before trying it?
You can try it here:

Happy to answer technical questions about how it works or discuss implementation details.
The harder test might be a dashboard that loads most of its interface after the page opens. I'd be curious whether the Figma export still comes through as something you can easily edit.
Great point. Dynamic dashboards are definitely the harder test. ZipIt already handles many SPA apps by waiting for content to render, but I'm still improving support for heavily lazy-loaded UIs. The goal is always an editable Figma file, not just a screenshot. If you have a dashboard in mind, I'm happy to test it.
That makes sense. The nastier case might be a dashboard that loads part of the page only after someone scrolls or clicks into it.

Juncture just went live 🎉
Full custom Framer build for an executive advisory firm — six pages, a custom interactive framework component, and an animated scoring system built as a native code component instead of a static graphic.

If you had to choose one option to present your brand without actually talking to the users, what would you choose?
Lately, I've been pushing myself to explore what's possible with Figma Motion and see just how far I can take animations without leaving Figma.
I recently came across a really smooth WhatsApp animation and thought, why not recreate it? So I challenged myself to build it from scratch, paying close attention to the timing, easing, and micro-interactions.
It's been a fun way to learn, experiment, and sharpen my motion design skills.
How do you think it turned out? 👀
I'd love to hear your feedback!

Animated visuals makes the user stay, while static will not attract much
I’m exploring two visual directions for Together, an app concept for the Flowstep challenge focused on helping friends make plans, vote, and keep track of what’s coming up.
For this comparison, I wanted to test how much the overall visual theme changes the feel of the product.
The dark version feels bolder, more energetic, and more nightlife-driven.
The light version feels cleaner, more approachable, and easier to scan.
Dark mode: bold, social, energetic
Light mode: clean, friendly, approachable
Since this app is all about making plans with friends, the visual direction needs to feel fun without becoming overwhelming.
Which version feels stronger for a social planning app?
