I am the creator of one of the Plugins you showed (AutoHTML) and I feel like I need to clarify things a little here. 😉
I understand, that how you are using it, it does not produce clean code as the design is not structured well. But the intention of the plugin is solely to translate Figma’s layout structure to something that serves as a good starting point not production ready code. I am working partly as Designer and Frontend Dev and for me this works quite well: I am preparing everything with auto layout and components inside Figma which is way faster than coding and I get very predictable output (no random AI magic) which I can then easily refactor. I do understand that some people are looking for something else but its just unfair to compare tools that follow a completely different motivation 😅

I've tried most in the top 3. I find hand-coding faster than working with the janky output. You'll save more time by having your design team build Figma files with some consistency and logic right now. It's a good start, but we're way off from these tools being actually helpful imo.

Love this. It makes 0-50 quick. Then the devs need to adjust the code to fit the style and the brand to go from 50-100.

This is actually pretty cool. It should help speed up development. They also said that WordPress was going to replace developers and designers but all it did was help streamline the process for them. Remember, business owners don't have the time to make websites and then fix them when they break. Even if a tool comes out that can create a website in React with one button press...they still have to be savvy enough to fix and adjust things on the site.

Thank you for your insightful videos that not only highlight the distinctions between various options but also provide valuable information about the available choices. I'd like to address two specific points in regard to this video:
1. There is a notable difference between converting an image and converting directly from Figma. Figma, with its built-in positioning, components with attributes, variables etc... provides additional value if you use them. Some tools are specifically designed to excel in translating Figma layouts and components into React components complete with props.
2. I tested one of the tools that was rated high with a more intricate layout involving elements like avatar, badge and custom buttons and was very disappointed with the results, they were far from the original design. Contrarily, lower-rated tools showcased remarkable better results, very close to the original design.

Consequently, I believe that evaluating the best Figma converter tool should encompass testing with a more complex design and directly from Figma. Unless an image converter tool demonstrates proficiency in identifying components and attributes, making it versatile across various design tools (no need for Figma specifically).

I like screenshot-to-code. will give it a try 👍👍

[thelavishcoder]

Can you do something similar for React Native?

[AliyAkhbar]

I think those absolute position is caused by not structured properly! If you use auto layout you will get flex output

[ErickRodrCodes]

Copycat said "meow" to the header. For prototypes "might" work... nothing like coding the logic by real human hands.

[jefferymuter]

My company hired me out of my bootcamp to make HTML &CSS layouts. Im curious whatll happen if i end up making my time like 60% faster. Very curious indeed.
Still, i hate making layouts. I have bigger fish to fry.

[phantazzor]

what about vectorise a screenshot and use visual copilot ?\

[EricEGunes]

😵‍💫 what does he like the most at the end ?

[kettenbach]

Exactly, these perhaps are some good starting points but far from a complete solution. I imagine it will be there someday, but certainly not yet. Take advantage of these tools if they make you more productive. Thanks Jack 👍. By the way, are you near San Diego or Carlsbad? I just remember going to Walmart labs in Carlsbad a few times for some meetups. Have a great week! 💪

I wish I had your optimism about AI replacing us. We're just 1 year from chatgpt release and less then a year from gpt-4 api release. You're saying it already does 20% of your work. If we extrapolate the exponential growth, very soon, it's gonna do more than 100%.

[andrewnleon]

Have you tried figma to webflow? I was never happy with figma plugins, they seem unfinished and time consuming.

[waleedsharif]

Should we pay to get that openAI key or is it free for developers ?

[TheTmLev]

Thanks for reviewing available solutions! To me, it seems like they all are bad and you'll spend much more time trying to adapt the generated code when you could have spent twice less time just implementing it. Ah well, maybe in the future it'll be good enough.

[fexxix]

I'm sorry if it isn't about the video but I would like to ask what VS code theme you use.

[faizanahmed]

Locofy is dreadful, I've used it personally and it created a mess.

[АлександрГерасимов-сщ]

Die wise? Not the best name for a tool that is not even educational
