To help the
web development industry
, Singapore-based
Locofy.ai
has launched their
Large Design Models
(LDMs) and a new product, Locofy Lightning, which uses their LDMs to provide a one-click technology that converts
Figma designs
into
web frontend code
. Using Locofy’s home grown Large Design Models (LDMs),
Locofy Lightning
will save developers up to 80% of the time it takes to code the user interface from scratch.
Locofy Lightning: Availability
Locofy Lightning can be integrated easily into existing workflows, without disrupting established processes. The beta release for
Figma
to web frontend is available with a single click solution for mobile apps are expected in the coming days.
Locofy Lightning: How this tool will help developers
Developers and designers typically spend hundreds of hours turning web designs into production-grade code. A new app or feature can take weeks to design on popular design tools like Figma and AdobeXD, followed by months of frontend and backend development from scratch.
With Figma becoming popular in the design world, in 2022,
Adobe
moved in to acquire the company for $20 billion. However, the merger was mutually abandoned last month. Figma, used by over a million teams to design their apps and web products has become increasingly popular among developers contributing to 30% of its active user base.
As a
Figma plugin
, Locofy.ai aims to convert Figma designs into code with one-click and automate close to 80% of the time-consuming parts of frontend development. This allows developers to focus on the more complex business logic and brings their ideas to market 2-3 times faster and cheaper.
With just a single click, Locofy Lightning translates Figma designs into plug-and-play code. This upgrades the way development teams approach their work. Locofy Lightning is powered by an in-house technology stack which is trained on a vast dataset comprising millions of designs. These LDMs can dissect visual elements, optimise layouts and enhance code structure.
