Hey everyone! I have a genuine question to throw out there. Imagine a tool that can take your Figma designs and turn them into pixel-perfect HTML and CSS. This tool would not only optimize for W3 standards and pagespeed, but also offer options for both pixel-perfect and responsive layouts right from the start. The idea is to eliminate weird layers and broken spacing, giving you clean, production-ready code. So, if this tool existed, would you be willing to pay for it? If yes, how much would you pay per page or screen?

I'd consider paying for a plugin that converts parts of the page into reusable React components, creating well-structured pages that I can easily edit. If it included smart state management options, I'd definitely be interested!
There is indeed a Figma plugin that helps convert designs to React, but from my experience, none generate sufficiently semantic or organized code.
I've tried several plugins too, and honestly, none can generate the quality output we're looking for.
I doubt any such tool could really produce clean HTML and CSS. Even if it could, designs aren't typically pixel-perfect to begin with. Most of the time, designs need to fit into an existing grid or system. Automation often fails because the generated code is messy and not usable for serious projects.
That's true! For me, coding the UI is just the boring part. I'm more focused on business logic and iterations now.
Converting Figma designs into code isn't really the hard part of development—it's everything else that comes afterward. I personally enjoy that coding step, so a tool that does that for me isn't a priority.
I get what you mean, but I'd love to have some ready-made UI code to kickstart new projects!
Honestly, I think such a tool might not be super useful beyond single-page marketing sites. If it could integrate with something like Tailwind or Bootstrap for better organization, I might reconsider. Currently, tools like Webflow offer an easier solution without stepping through a ton of code.
What if there was a web IDE where you could add multiple pages before generating the code with AI? That could help maintain code stability.
Exactly! It would be great if before generating, we could choose options like state management libraries or other customizable details.
