Get Started GitHub npmAbout 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.
