Gotcha π
INTRODUCTION
Press a key and your Framer prototype becomes its own live, self-documenting, developer-ready spec.
When enabled, Gotcha provides precise information about your project's elements: from positions and colors to font styling and even component names and relationships. Best of all, Gotcha works seamlessly with Framer Cloud, so the links you send can work as specs, too.
Check out the demo.
Installation
Download the gotcha.coffee file and drag it into your project's code editor.

Tips
- Gotcha works in the Device Preview window. If your preview window is zoomed in, or if you can't see a device, you'll need to select the Toggle Device from the window's hamburger menu, or press Command + Shift + D.
- Be sure that your Device Preview window is active before pressing any keys, lest you find your code full of random tick marks.
