Figma Dev Mode

explicit relation

Figma Dev Mode is a dedicated workspace within Figma designed specifically for developers to inspect designs, extract code snippets, and access implementation details without navigating the full design environment. It solves the design-to-development handoff problem by providing a focused, code-oriented view with measurements, component properties, design tokens, and ready-to-use code in CSS, iOS, and Android formats.

Paid developer handoff and inspection workspace by Figma. Included with full Figma Design seats (Professional $12-$15/seat/mo, Organization $45-$75/seat/mo, Enterprise $75-$90/seat/mo). Standalone Dev Mode seats are available for engineers at $25/seat/mo (Organization) and $35/seat/mo (Enterprise). Includes Code Connect for linking design tokens to GitHub/GitLab repos, visual diffing, asset exports, and the Figma for VS Code extension.

Anima

freemiumexplicit relation

Anima is a design-to-code platform that transforms Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD designs into production-ready frontend code, bridging the gap between design and development teams. Automatically converts visual designs into clean HTML, CSS, React, and Vue. Designers can add interactions, responsive breakpoints, and real data, turning static mockups into functional prototypes developers can ship.

AI-powered design-to-code platform converting Figma, Adobe XD, and Sketch into React, Vue, Next.js, and HTML/CSS. Free tier ($0/mo) includes 5 code exports/month and basic prototyping. Pro plan starts at $39/mo ($31/mo billed annually) with 200 exports/mo, custom domain hosting, and code inspection. Business tier ($79/user/mo) provides 1,000+ exports, Storybook & GitHub sync, and team collaboration. Enterprise tier offers SAML SSO, custom SLA, and dedicated onboarding via custom quote.

FigmaFigma is the industry-standard collaborative design platform for UI/UX work, prototyping, and design systems. Runs in the browser with real-time multiplayer editing, components, auto-layout, variants, dev mode, plugins, and FigJam whiteboards. Integrates with AI design-to-code tools like Lovable, v0, Builder.io, and Anima to turn frames into production React, Vue, or iOS/Android code.GradioGradio is a 42K+ star Apache-2.0 Python library for building interactive web interfaces around machine-learning functions and apps. It supports 40+ components for text, images, audio, video, 3D, chat, plots, JSON, and dataframes. Apps can be hosted free on Hugging Face Spaces, shared through public links, or extended with server-side rendering, streaming, API clients, and MCP server support.Panda CSSPanda CSS is a zero-runtime CSS-in-JS framework that generates atomic CSS at build time from type-safe style definitions. It provides the developer experience of CSS-in-JS with runtime performance of static CSS extraction. Supports design tokens, responsive styles, conditional variants, and recipes for component style APIs. 335K+ weekly npm downloads for @pandacss/dev with RSC compatibility.PuckPuck is an open-source visual page builder for React that gives teams a drag-and-drop editor backed by their own components. The MIT-licensed core remains self-hostable and persists plain JSON, while Puck Cloud and Puck AI now add optional hosted and agentic editing layers. With 12.8K+ stars, it is the dev-first visual editor to watch.Figma Context MCPFigma Context MCP is an MCP server for giving coding agents structured access to Figma design context during implementation. Instead of copying screenshots or hand-written design specs into prompts, teams can expose layout, component, and context information to agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP-compatible coding workflows. It is a strong design-to-code bridge for teams trying to reduce hallucinated UI details and tighten handoff between designers and AI-assisted developers.UizardAI-assisted product-design platform that turns prompts, screenshots and hand-drawn sketches into editable UI flows for non-designers and early product ideation, complementing rather than duplicating developer-first code generators.Figma MCP ServerFigma MCP Server is Figma’s official remote Model Context Protocol surface for design-to-code agents. It gives supported clients structured design context, variables, components, selected-frame code context, Code Connect mappings, and beta write-to-canvas tools for creating or updating native Figma frames from an MCP client while keeping the workflow tied to Figma files.ReplitBrowser-based IDE and cloud platform with a built-in AI agent that builds full-stack applications from natural language prompts. Supports 50+ languages with instant hosting, multiplayer collaboration, built-in databases (PostgreSQL, key-value), secrets management, and one-click deployment. Used by 30M+ developers for prototyping, learning, and shipping apps. Features Ghostwriter AI for code completion. Popular for hackathons, education, and rapid MVP development.Talk to Figma MCPTalk to Figma MCP is an MIT-licensed bridge from Grab that connects Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP-capable agents to Figma through a local MCP server, WebSocket bridge, and Figma plugin. Unlike read-only context servers, it can inspect selections, create or modify nodes, update text in bulk, and automate design operations, so teams should review permissions before enabling write access.
