Slicy

Overview

Slicy is the MacRabbit asset-export tool discussed in №194: 赛博冲浪太快，我想回 MacRabbit 的兔子洞里坐一会 as a design-handoff breakthrough for Photoshop-era UI work.

Current Profile

In the episode, Slicy matters because it turns painful manual slicing into a rule-based export workflow. Designers could name Photoshop layers or groups, drag a PSD into Slicy, and produce assets such as normal and @2x images without separate slicing labor. The hosts treat this as a precursor to later Sketch and Figma export thinking: a light naming convention could reorganize design-to-development collaboration.

Key Characteristics

• It automated image asset export from Photoshop files through layer naming.
• It reduced manual slicing and repetitive design-handoff labor.
• It is remembered for a Mac-like interaction feel, including drag-and-drop conversion.
• It anticipates later object-level export conventions in Sketch and Figma.

Evidence

• Export mechanism - №194: 赛博冲浪太快，我想回 MacRabbit 的兔子洞里坐一会 explains that designers could name Photoshop layers and drag the PSD into Slicy for automatic output.
• Workflow impact - №194: 赛博冲浪太快，我想回 MacRabbit 的兔子洞里坐一会 says Slicy significantly reduced cutting and exporting work for designers.
• Format convention - №194: 赛博冲浪太快，我想回 MacRabbit 的兔子洞里坐一会 mentions icon.png and @2x-style naming as examples of export rules.
• Later influence - №194: 赛博冲浪太快，我想回 MacRabbit 的兔子洞里坐一会 links Slicy’s idea to later Photoshop features and Sketch/Figma export settings.
