FAQs
-
Is Piny Free really free, or is it just a trial version?
Piny Free is completely free with no time limitations, accounts, or data collection. It includes core features for basic editing and styling needs, while advanced features are available in the Pro version. -
How does Visual Select work?
Visual Select utilizes advanced DOM to JSX mapping, allowing users to click directly on elements in a visual preview and select components for styling. A small script is injected in development mode to enable this functionality. -
Can Piny be used by all team members or just individuals?
Each team member can independently use Piny without impacting others. The Visual Select script is only required for developers actively using Piny. -
Will projects remain functional if Piny is discontinued?
Yes, since edits are made directly to standard React/Next.js code, projects remain fully operational without Piny and do not depend on the tool for continued functionality.
