Justify It and Lorem Saz
A missing button, and 10,766 downloads of it.
In October 2019 Adobe XD could align text left, right or centre, and not justify it. Justify It added that, with one shortcut. Lorem Saz, published three days earlier, filled designs with Persian placeholder text. Both are archived: Adobe stopped developing XD, and there is nothing left to maintain them for.
Written under BlackSwan, my own label, with logos by Saber Noori. Still the most downloaded code I have on GitHub. Figures from the GitHub API, 30 September 2026.
Justify It
Select a text object, press Shift Ctrl J on Mac or Windows, and it is justified.
XD's text engine had no justified alignment to switch on, so the plugin builds it. It keeps the original text object, makes a justified copy, and groups the two, so nothing you typed is lost and one Undo puts everything back.
Its README called it the first plugin written for XD to justify text. I cannot prove that now, and it matters less than the number: 10,766 downloads across its two releases, for a feature that should have been built in.
Lorem Saz
Placeholder text for designs that are not in English.
Placeholder text in five languages, Persian among them, generated by character count, word count or paragraph count. Apply it to the selected text, create a new text object, or copy it to the clipboard. Ctrl Shift N opens the panel.
Its README describes it as the first Iranian plugin in the XD plugin directory. 249 downloads.
Releases
Four releases in five days, then nothing more was needed until XD itself stopped.

Why archived
Archived is a status, not an apology.
