Figma for Wappler

[pixlapps]

As a UI/UX Designer that has used Figma to design and hand off designs to developers, I was surprised and excited when I saw Figma’s new updates this week at Config 2023. Seems like the Adobe acquisition has been good for them and their users.

See the main presentation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI9QVwkk2Go&t=1217s

One of these: Figma for VS Code where styling and other code import integrations makes it easy for a developer to use the styles, among other types of code, they are handed off by the designer.

I know this is not the direction Wappler has taken as most Wappler users are one man dev shops where the developer is also the “designer” - correct me if I am wrong.

BUT, and that is a big BUT, wouldn’t it be great if Wappler could become an enterprise developer tool where it is used by teams that receive handed off designs from their design teams and have these types of integrations in future?

Make Figma Designs Come Alive in Wappler

Hi everyone, following my short demo in today’s meet up where I took a Figma design and generated Wappler code for it. Here’s the video tutorials as promised.

A designer I work with sent that video to me and so I took a look. It is great to see figma focus efforts on the developer side of things. The new dev mode is definitely an improvement, especially for those of us that do not spend all day in figma.

You can also see when changes were made and compare to previous versions. For those using more mainstream dev tools it can hand you code made directly for that environment.

A Wappler plug-in would be great for sure, but I am in the camp of those that would benefit more from tightening up existing features.

I posted it in Coffee lounge and not feature requests because I agree that this is a super nice to have for a select few users.

Eagerly waiting for other roadmapped features to see the light of day, before this should be even a consideration.

From a “working” with Wappler standpoint has anyone used https://penpot.app/ ?
It outputs CSS and SVG Code seemingly like Figma but its Open Source

My 2 cents: I use figma for designs and then I or teammembers build it in Wappler.
So I’m definitely for tighter integrations

IMHO, it would definitely be great to be able to import/sync figma designs (I'd definitely be playing with that) but it would worry me that Wappler would be deviating from its purpose of focusing on the full stack developer, investing in features that allow a single developer to, at each update, do even more complex things without needing a team.. I believe this is a huge market that is exponencially growing.
