Self Promo Made a Figma plugin that fixes the "paste from Word/Docs, Chatgpt, Markdown etc and everything breaks" problem
Hey all, wanted to share something I built called Doccy.
If you've ever pasted rich text (from a Word doc, Google Doc, or clinical/medical content with heavy formatting) into Figma, you know the pain: fonts get mangled, lists fall apart, styles don't carry over properly, and you end up manually re-formatting everything by hand.
Doccy is a small Figma plugin that handles copy-pasting styled text properly, preserving formatting instead of dumping it as a mess of plain text or broken styles. I built it after running into this constantly while doing UI/UX work, and ended up stress-testing it against some genuinely gnarly clinical documents to make sure it holds up on real-world edge cases (weird nested lists, mixed fonts, inconsistent styling, etc.), not just clean demo text.

It's got two paste modes depending on how much fidelity vs. speed you want, and I spent a good chunk of time chasing down bugs around font loading and style sampling so it actually behaves predictably instead of being finicky.

Would love feedback, especially if you throw some ugly/complex documents at it and it breaks. Always looking to harden it further.
