Over 1 year of Mockreate and over 1k users

I wanted to start writing a bit more about Mockreate, a simple and free plugin for Figma that as of today has 1246 users.
The initial idea was really simple and I couldn't find anything similar.
It was also a period at work where I had to create UIs with tons of random data to display the interfaces like they were used by actual users.

Enter Mockreate!
The plugin took a few weeks to develop, especially because it was my first attempt to use the Figma API to develop a plugin so I had to get used.
All the data in use is pre-generated randomly and served on request, so I don't have to use any other API or rely on chatGPT which would make the product paid.

I published the plugin after a few days thinking it would not get much traction, but to my surprise, it's being used by quite some people now and it has been so far, in my career as an indie hacker, the most used product I have ever created.

I am planning to add more random data to Mockreate in the future and I am collecting users feedback to improve the plugin even more.
