Figma to Code: Revolutionizing UI Development

Introduction

The Challenge of Figma to Code Conversion

Developers and designers often face the challenge of efficiently translating Figma designs into functional code. While Figma is an excellent tool for design creation, it does not inherently provide the necessary code for real-world development. As a result, Kombai has introduced a groundbreaking solution to this issue, aiming to revolutionize UI development.

The Kombai Solution

Training Models to Code Email and Web Designs

Kombai has recently unveiled a new model that is trained to code email and web designs, mimicking human-like coding behaviors. This innovation allows users to input design files and receive high-quality HTML, CSS, or React code with a single click. By leveraging this capability, developers can significantly reduce the time spent on writing styles, DOM, and other mundane UI code, enabling them to focus on complex business logic.

Key Features of Kombai

Utilization of Design Inputs

Kombai eliminates the need to tag, name, or group elements, or use auto-layout. Users can utilize designs as they are, without the necessity for extensive modifications.

Logical Div-Structure and React Components

The platform generates logical div-structures and human-like names for classes and components, simplifying the development process.

CSS for Flex with No Hardcoded Dimensions

Kombai ensures appropriate usage of flex-grow, flex-shrink, justify-content, align-items, gap, padding, and more, without hardcoded dimensions, providing flexibility and responsiveness.

High-Quality JS Code and Functional Form Elements

The solution offers high-quality JavaScript code featuring loops, conditions, and mock data from design inputs, which can be easily replaced. Additionally, it provides form elements as functional components, including buttons, inputs, selects, checkboxes, and switches using MUI Base or HTML.

Under the Hood: Technology Insights

Deep Learning and Heuristics Models

Kombai integrates an ensemble of deep learning and heuristics models, each tailored for specific sub-tasks related to interpreting UI designs and generating code. These models are designed to emulate the decision-making processes of developers during the UI code creation, driving accurate and effective results.

Purpose-Built Models

To ensure unparalleled accuracy and performance, Kombai’s purpose-built models have been developed from scratch, encompassing 95%+ of the code output. While some public LLMs are utilized to enhance specific code aspects, the primary bulk of the code is derived from these proprietary models.

Compatibility and Accessibility

Supported Languages and Frameworks

Kombai currently supports the generation of React and HTML + CSS codes, with the option to receive the CSS output in vanilla CSS or Tailwind. Moreover, users have successfully leveraged Kombai with non-React frameworks such as Vue, Svelte, Angular, and Django by customizing the HTML + CSS output according to their specific frameworks.

Free Research Preview

The platform is currently available as a public research preview, allowing individual developers to access it for free, thereby providing an opportunity to experience its capabilities firsthand.

Addressing Concerns

Mitigating Code Inaccuracies

Given the generative nature of Kombai, occasional inaccuracies may occur, especially in ambiguous design scenarios lacking clear visual cues. In such cases, users can explore the ‘regenerate button’ within the app to produce alternative code outputs or employ ‘design prompt engineering’ to steer the model towards desired results.

Embracing Kombai

To embrace the revolutionary capabilities of Kombai and transform the Figma to code conversion experience, developers are encouraged to explore the platform and its myriad features. From simplifying complex UI development to enhancing efficiency, Kombai serves as a pivotal tool in modern software development.
