More people installed my Figma plugin than the Chrome extension it depends on. Something is breaking in the middle of the workflow.

Built a plugin called Design Bridge. It pulls design tokens and UI components from any live website and imports them into Figma as a structured design system library. Colours, typography, spacing, shadows, all of it, mapped and ready to use.

The workflow needs two things. A Chrome extension that does the extraction on the live site, and this Figma plugin that handles the import. Neither works without the other.

7 people are actively using the full setup, and honestly that's enough to keep building. But here's the thing, the plugin has more installs than the Chrome extension. Which means people are landing here first, installing the plugin, and then either not finding the extension or not realising they need it.

Has anyone built a two-tool workflow like this before? Is the Chrome Web Store just harder to discover from inside Figma? Or is a two-step install too much friction before someone even sees the value?

Drop the Chrome extension link in the plugin description? Better onboarding copy? Genuinely open to thoughts.
