Auto layout will be game changer. Need this. Waiting eagerly!
Ryan Martinez
Please add this... its one of the biggest challenges moving from Figma to Protopie. Autolayout was the reason I dropped sketch; making changes to mockups where there are multiple repeating elements in a grid or stacked (like lists) is INCREDIBLY painful after having been spoiled with Figma capabilities. Not having auto layout costs literally hours of revision time for complex layouts or when iterating quickly; which is the biggest use-case for Protopie. Please strongly consider this! In the interim my team and I will only be using Protopie where there are complex interactions that cannot be facilitated with Figma as a result. Would love to use more but this is a big impediment.

If you consider the auto layout, please consider the margin value as well. In the case of Figma, it is a design tool that simply shows the view, but Propie is a hi-fi profile that the developer applies directly to the code. Auto layout solves the padding and gap, but it didn't solve the margin, so there was a hassle of catching the empty frame in Figma and adjusting it again in development.

Merged in a post:
Auto Layout or Stacks

A little empathy for design teams is where it would greatly help to speed up the workflow of teams to have this helpful feature while designing prototypes in ProtoPie.
FIGMA's AUTO LAYOUT = Lets you create dynamic frames that respond to their content. With responsive components, you can create buttons and cards that automatically resize as their text changes or menus and lists that can be quickly reordered. And, by combining these responsive components, you can create full screens that work across multiple device types.
FRAMER'S STACKS = Is a property that you can toggle on/off for any Frame that you draw. Once enabled, any existing child layers inside the Stack will be automatically positioned according to the Stack properties, depending on the number of items inside. You can change the behavior of the Stack using the properties panel, allowing you to customize how the inner elements are distributed. A Stack is also a Frame with its Stack properties enabled (In ProtoPie, this would be the same as a container with its "stacks" properties enabled).
Thank you!

Anthony Christie Hi Anthony! Thank you for submitting a new request. We already have a highly upvoted request for Auto Layout, so I'm going to merge yours into the existing one :) By the way, we'll be discussing Auto Layout in the first half of 2023. We know it's a much-awaited feature and will try our best to introduce it in the upcoming months. Thank you again for your support.

Please consider this auto-layout feature, it is difficult to reorder components within screens by pixel pushing vs. dynamic reordering. Another case where this is useful are creating text buttons with icons that dynamically change in size accordingly. Currently, it is nearly impossible to reuse the same text button components using the current constraints because the text ends up overlapping with the icon when reusing. This is a must have, especially when creating reusable components.

I am interested in creating a responsive design for my website in 3 different devices!! Responsive animation could be awesome with ProtoPie

If you are working quickly for a client, and don't have the luxury of a big team or design system, auto-layout is great. You just keep applying a few basic rules for fixed/hug/fill container and padding to your components. You get reasonable design elements popping out. The resulting design is also at least somewhat responsive, so you can do lots of "quick and dirty" experiments.
IMHO auto-layout + components is the killer feature of Figma, whereas being able to introduce conditionals, branching, variables into your pie is the killer feature of ProtoPie. Figma's very frustrating if you're working with an app with a small number of screens, but lots of logic branching between them. And ProtoPie is frustrating if you have to re-adjust all your buttons, etc in a design iteration.
