Show HN: Open-source Figma design to code
github.comHi HN, founders of VibeFlow (YC S25) here.
We mostly work on backend and workflow tooling, but we needed a way to turn Figma designs into frontend code as a kickstart for prototyping. It takes a Figma frame and converts it into React + Tailwind components (plus assets).
If you want to try it: You can run it locally or use it via the VibeFlow UI to poke at it without setup (https://app.vibeflow.ai/)
There is https://penpot.app too. Although IMHO as I wrote some years ago in my blog (sorry only in spanish) https://tomatesasesinos.com/2023/01/09/proyectos-que-son-una... TL;DR: Penpot team chose a bad dev language.
Interesting. It appears this doesn't use AI itself (though it's probably vibe coded). Figma in dev mode already gives react components and css styles [1] and this seems like a more automated way to pull that functionality. It's unfortunate figma paywalls dev mode and this might be a good way to work around the limitation.

This was just a fun experiment where we played around with the figma api, but their api has been rate limited since nov
How does it work?
This app idea has been made a million times and never works. It's also not hard to make a few divs and copy and paste styles from Figma.
I wish you luck with your project.

Yes, we currently use FSL-1.1-MIT, but we’re open to changing it to AGPLv3 or another open-source license.
Would much appreciate a relicense to AGPLv3!
