Question 1

Is Framer Modules still being updated or supported?

Accepted Answer

No, the project is discontinued. The README states to use the official Framer Store for Framer X, so Framer Modules no longer receives updates or bug fixes, making it potentially incompatible with newer software.

Question 2

How do I install a module using Framer Modules?

Accepted Answer

In the app, select a module and press Enter. It automatically downloads files from the GitHub repository specified in module.json and adds them to your Framer prototype, with a code snippet ready to copy via Cmd+C.

Question 3

Framer Modules vs Framer Store: which one should I use?

Accepted Answer

For Framer X or later, use the Framer Store as it's official and maintained. Framer Modules is a deprecated community alternative that might not work with current versions, though it offered keyboard efficiency and presets.

Question 4

Can I publish my own module to the Framer Modules registry?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by hosting it on GitHub with a module.json file and following the PUBLISH.md guidelines, but since the project is discontinued, the registry is likely inactive and may not accept new submissions.

Question 5

What are the essential keyboard shortcuts in Framer Modules?

Accepted Answer

Key shortcuts include Cmd+; to open the app, Enter to install modules, Cmd+C to copy code snippets, Cmd+S to save to presets, and Cmd+Backspace to remove items, as detailed in the README table for quick navigation.

Question 6

How does Framer Modules handle updates to installed modules?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't have built-in version control. Since modules are always pulled from GitHub during installation, you get the latest files, but there's no mechanism to track or manage updates, relying on external repo changes.
