Design Maestro

Hey there Product Hunters! 👋 These days, we, freelance designers, creators, founders, and no-coders, work on dozens of projects each month. Not only do we work for our clients, but we are also responsible for our side projects, and each one needs a different branding and a website. It’s a lot of work and our time is limited. Some of us are lucky enough to afford to hire an awesome employee. But in most cases, we can only rely on ourselves. Luckily, we live in an era of automation. An era in which you can set something once and do not repeat it every time you need it. However, most of us still repeat ourselves every day. Let me ask you a few questions about your usual workflow: 👉 Do you type your email address each time someone asks you about it on Slack? 👉 Do you type your company details each time you need to send it to a client? 👉 Do you type your website URL each time you need to send it to someone? 👉 Do you open a recent project that you worked on by going to an app’s dashboard and then selecting it from there? 👉 Do you optimize images for the web by dropping them into tinyPNG (or another similar app)? 👉 If you want to create a new file in Figma, do you create it from the dashboard? If you said yes to most of these questions, I have bad and good news for you. The bad news is that you wasted a lot of time in the past by repeating yourself. The good news is that Design Maestro can change that and you won’t waste more time in the future. Together with my fellow designer Adam @overment, we created automations that help us in our everyday work. We called this package 🥁🥁🥁🥁 Design Maestro! 👉 👉 👉 Visit our website to learn more: https://www.designmaestro.io/ 1️⃣5️⃣ Macros Inside Macros are quick actions that you can run with the Design Maestro launcher. To launch a macro you just need to choose it from the list or activate it with an assigned keyboard shortcut. 👉 Lorem ipsum generator - generate lorem ipsum paragraph 👉 Optimize selected images - optimize multiple images in Finder 👉 Remove background from images - remove background from selected images 👉 Color picker - pick a color under your mouse cursor 👉 OCR selected area - copy text from a selected area of an image 👉 Pick brand asset - quickly access an image like logo or icon 👉 Pick brand color - quickly access the color value 👉 Open starter URLs - open frequently used URLs like Figma dashboard or Twitter 👉 Quick Notion note - open the Notion page with a quick note 👉 Add a quick text snippet - paste in your email address or company details 👉 New Figma project - quickly create a new Figma file 👉 Open Webflow dashboard - launch the Webflow dashboard immediately 👉 Translate with Deepl - translate the selected text immediately 👉 Search in Google - search the phrase in Google 👉 New Gmail message - quickly open a new Gmail message

It looks great! I thought that I rarely use keyboard shortcuts, but I like to select from a list with a first letter search. It's exciting to create your macros. Automator is complicated and not very intuitive. It would be great to take it as a basis and simplify it to the level of Zapier, for example.

Great tool! Congrats on your launch! 🚀 We will be launching soon too, (@snackeet), I hope that you will support us as well 😊💛
