CodeParrot (YC W23) helps developers build stunning UI lightning-fast by converting Figma designs and screenshots into production-ready code. Just share your Figma files, set your code preferences, and have your screens ready in minutes. Shipping fast often comes with cutting corners on UI, but a good user interface is the first impression you don’t get to make twice. CodeParrot aims to remove this tradeoff and raise the bar for digital experiences. Founded by Royal Jain and Vedant Agarwala to solve their product-building challenges, CodeParrot leverages the advancements in LLMs to help over 3000 engineers, from startups to enterprises, build things they are proud of.

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been exploring Locofy.ai, a Figma plugin in free beta that generates initial code from designs. 💻 Potential benefits: ● 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲: Automates initial coding, saving FE devs time. ● 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲: Reduces potential errors in code. ● 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Bridges the gap between designers and developers. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤? Has anyone tried Locofy.ai or similar tools? Is it worth exploring for our team? Share your thoughts and any other efficiency-boosting recommendations in comment! 💬 #DevTools #Figma #LocofyAI #Efficiency #Collaboration

Bringing a touch of 'weekend on' energy to this Friday hustle. Because why not switch things up a bit? 😉💼 #FridayFlow #SwitchingItUp *Loved creating this simple fun prototype on Figma* #figma #figmadesign #uiuxdesign #prototype

This week we’re joined by Emil Sjölander from Figma — talking about bringing Dev Mode to Figma. Dev Mode is their new workspace in Figma that’s designed to bring developers and design to the same tool. Listen to the full conversation on 👇 The Web: https://changelog.fm/567 Apple: https://changelog.fm/apple Spotify: https://lnkd.in/g9m8Ey84 The question they’re trying to answer is, “How do you create a home for developers in a design tool?” We go way back to Emil’s startup that was acquired by Figma called Visly, how we iterated to here from 20 years ago (think PSD > HTML days), what they did to build Dev Mode, what they’re doing around codegen, the popularity of design systems, and what it takes to go from zero to Dev Mode. #software #podcast #opensource #programming #softwareengineering #coding #oss #foss #development #figma #design #devmode #designsystems #productdesign

Hello people...🎉 continuing the quest of learning #100daysofuiux .. This is my day 14-15 progress... I have given a task to create a colour palatte and I have made it in figma .. you can check my colour palatte here:https://lnkd.in/gj6XnVRK #100DaysOfTech #TechChallenge.#LearnTech #TechJourney.#CodeEveryday. #TechLearning.#ProgrammingChallenge. #TechSkills.#DailyTechChallenge. #TechProgress.#CodeChallenge. #100DaysOfCode.#TechMilestone. #DailyCoding.#TechExplorer. #CodeLearning.#TechCommunity. #CodingJourney.#TechEnthusiast. #LearnToCode.#edam Yasasvi Mandapati Abhishek Nagaraja

Sat down with my developer advocate bestie Akbar Mirza to chat about the basics of Annotations! What they are, how we implement them in Figma, and what actually makes sense to annotate. What questions do you have about annotating your designs, or sharing work with your developer partners? PS. We like to chat a lot, so more vids coming soon 👀 #figmadesign #designdevelopment #designcommunity #devmode #figmatips

#TokensStudio for #figma is now integrated with Figma's Dev mode 🎉 ! #developers can now see the names of #tokens that are applied to elements in the inspect panel: https://lnkd.in/gGhvuw6A

As someone that spends a significant amount of time in figma, designing AI applications, the idea that I can take a design and convert it into code that follows my brand(component library, etc) is truly a gift. For non-product folks that aren't using figma, this just means that in theory you can take wireframes of an app or feature you want, give it to a designer (who can bring it to life using figma with the look and feel you want)and then use ion design (YC W24) to generate the code almost instantly. If adding features to an existing app or site, it will also consider the context and other pages, systems, and tools you have integrated on the backend. Looking forward to trying the new capability which was just launched. We have plenty of figma designs to use this on.

Are you using a plugin like this for your dev handoff? Please let me know your impressions for the best seamless dev handoff.
