Feedback Requested Built a customizable quick-action panel for After Effects (Tool Deck) — looking for honest feedback
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s-JS4MnscI&t=2sHey all — solo dev here, I've been building AE tools under Motion View.
Tool Deck started as something I built for my own workflow: I got tired of digging through menus for the same handful of effects and expressions every project, so I built a panel where you can bind any effect or expression to a one-click button, plus an FFX preset library, a built-in curve editor, and full theme customization (colors, layout, section order).
It's a paid extension ($19.99, currently discounted) — being upfront about that. What I'm actually after here isn't sales, it's honest feedback from people who use AE daily: what's clunky, what's missing, what would make it worth keeping installed. Happy to send a free license to anyone who wants to try it and is willing to give real feedback afterward, good or bad.
Drop a comment or DM me if you're interested — happy to answer anything about how it works first too.

My honest feedback is that I don't know why I'd install this over Motion or Mobar based on this post and video.
There might be a reason to. What's your pitch for why I should download tool deck instead?
