✋ Stop building Framer components yourself!

It’s good to know how to build them, but why would you spend your time building components like navigation, or tabs, or carousels etc, when you can just get them for free!

That would help you save a lot of time, and would help you do projects in hours that would normally take days! (No Joke!)
