Show HN: Open-source Figma design to code

Posted by alepeak 5 days ago

Hi 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/)

We just shipped skills as well! For Claude Code, install the skill to enable Figma to React conversion directly within your Claude Code environment: npx skills add vibeflowing-inc/vibe_figma --skill vibefigma

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

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.

This is not open source, it's under a proprietary (FSL) license: https://github.com/vibeflowing-inc/vibe_figma/blob/main/LICE...

Yes, we currently use FSL-1.1-MIT, but we’re open to changing it to AGPLv3 or another open-source license.
