About Speccer

Speccer was originally created to make it easier to document components in a design system, but you can use it for whatever you like, whenever you need to highlight any element in your web projects.

With speccer, you can highlight any element on a web page or in documentation with pins, markers, arrows, and more. This can be useful for a variety of purposes, such as:

  • Showcasing the different parts of a component or design system
  • Documenting how to use a particular element or feature
  • Drawing attention to important information
  • Creating interactive tutorials or demos

Speccer is incredibly easy to use. Simply add the data-speccer (or other tags for other features) attribute to any element you want to highlight, and speccer will do the rest. You can also customize the look and feel of speccer to match your own branding or style guide.
