Hi Tim, please reply my question. at duration 16:40 , that's where we've resolved the conflict. But, the changes are not made in Locofy Builder tho, the color is still not black where we changed locally on GitHub. That's quite confusing. You see, if we make changes on Figma with Locofy plugin, then we sync to Locofy Builder, then we sync & push to our GitHub repo, then the changes also apply to our codes, all we need to do is only run "git pull" on our local IDE. But if we make changes on our local IDE, it does apply to our GitHub repo but not in the design of our Locofy Builder and Figma. Please tell me the solution for this, thanks Tim 🙌🏻
Nothing is Game Changer yet. Dear new developers, don't get panicked by youtube content creators creating doubts in the name of AI. A programmer is not a person who knows class, loop , array stuffs, a programmer is a person who programs a machine to solve problems. Also, don't get caught up in language wars. Any language is fine, as long as you understand its usage.
@@Kauroseta To expand on that, now more than ever makes understanding the fundamentals important. AI writes a lot of unsafe code, and knowing how to identify that and fundamentally understanding what the AI generates will make you worth keeping around when AI finally does start taking jobs.
I remember similar conversations around Fireworks, Dreamweaver, JQuery etc. But if you don’t have a solid understanding of the basics, you’re gonna have problems when things go wrong. Absolutely use tools to lighten the load, but don’t get greedy/lazy and lay off your dev teams just jet.
To use this feature you definitely would still have to know code because you have to know what you're looking at, what suggestions you're agreeing to, and how to change them.
@DisentDesign If you were truly a coder or developer you would know that what you're saying makes no sense. When an application is not working are you going to just copy and paste thousands and thousands of lines of code to see what's wrong? That's very unrealistic. As a developer you know how to pinpoint bugs because you wrote the code. So based on what the bug is or how the application is performing you already know ahead of time what the potential causes are.
I'd been trying this plug-in for a while and is not that simple for everyone. Maybe you will have problems with responsive designs, you have to spend some time with layouts and really know how to design each component on Figma to later convert it to code. I mean, it will not replace anyone, you still have to know ux/ui and frontend concepts to make it really works. Nevertheless, is an incredible tool, it works really well. Great video!
100% correct, I was the same problem when tried it, need to design it first properly then it will convert it in addition it make couple of bugs but that fine I guess. Its pretty good to collect assets.
That is true. This is probably more useful when you already have a figma file from a graphic designer or someone so you don't have to replicate the whole thing
@@MotionInMotion1975 Perhaps the issue is in hiring for a nonexistent job - "UX developer". Graphic design has more in common with print, posters and illustrations than frontend. Just like UX design has more in common with user research, rather than UI coding. Are you HR by any chance ? Not knowing anything about design and the process ?
I keep hearing the words "Completely free" but couldn't help but notice you're using a Free Trial account not shitting on the hustle of sponsorships but respect your viewers a little more and give them a bit more transparency... There's obviously some free features and some features locked behind a paywall or their free trial which I assume requires you to sign up with a payment method and if it doesn't then that means we will pay in other ways but needless to say this will most likely not be free for that long.
This has the potential to confuse many people hoping or thinking that this is some quick fix. Bottom line is, just do the work. might not be as fast but for complex projects care is very crucial.
This tool is unbelievably cool, and this is definitely the future for creating frontend MVPs. I do question the performance of the generated code, are there any benchmarks on this?
Doing front end stuffs are really hectic and need to much patience... I love doing back-end stuffs more than frontend... Nice tool which might help.. I will try this..
Awesome tool, but has some learning curve, i wish i could just export the code for single element like a card not hole application that would be awesome to have
The thing is. People also have their own styles of writing code. Ive seen a ton of tools and used many. And from my conclusion. I prefer my own code to others. It also makes finding things much easier because you instantly know where to find it. Plus front end/ ui is the “easy” part anyway. No offense to front end designers. Designing and building are two different parts and designs also need experience and expertise
Calling Frontend easy is such a stereotype! It's like saying crafting slick UIs and user flows is a piece of cake compared to sorting out CRUD features. And if you reckon Frontend is a breeze, how about giving a shot at duplicating Figma's UI with all its smoothness, just as a web interface? Real talk, complexity depends on the project, not just the job title. Keep that in mind!
on a small scale front end is fun and easy peasy but on a large scale its a bigger headache. But if your a visual person you will enjoy even under pressure and fighting deadlines
So you think front end/UI is the 'easy' part? Well, I'm currently collaborating with a backend developer who says without my help as a frontend developer, it's impossible for him to finish the project. He's not a creative person and always struggles with copying designs and converting them to code. Whenever he tries, it ends up broken and frustrates him. By the way, the project has been ongoing for more than 7 months before he finally completed it.
I'm under no illusion that these tools are not advanced yet to be solely relied upon to create advanced applications & manage the resulting errors that happen, however, id like a tool good enough to build an MVP for a web/mobile application?
AI is not replacing all programmers or copywriters, just most of them and enough to screw up the lives of people and their families who loose their job
This is the same "WYSIWYG" type of development found in old IDEs such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver of over 20 years ago. This eventually becomes an overly complicated GUI that is trying to do everything for the user with visual components which would normally be lines of code written by a developer. Still inaccessible by layman. Nothing will ever simplify the complexity of intent by the creator. This may work as a cookie cutter for heavily reused aspects of development (which composing components already does) but something new will still be developed by those on the right side of the bell curve in the law of the diffusion of innovation. In other words, innovation is a humans job in the foreseeable future despite the massive leaps in AI models. I will no doubt get some "ya but this model can create new XXX" replies but I can assure you as a senior level software engineer of over 25 years experience specializing in solutions (applications big & small) without precedent, my response is "no, it can't". Currently, AI is statistics obfuscated behind a wrapper.
Hello thansk for your video , i have some issues with locofy, when i try to select my pages he no detect nothing, so i can't use it Do you have some solutions for me please ?
Good evening, I wanted to ask you if it is possible to convert figma animations, components, component sets in locofy. If so, do you know of a video that explains it?
So resolving conflict means just overriding your team edits and applying designer choice, okay got it 😂 Also you said it does not spewing boiler plates but from the demo you have shown it does add sheed of stuff into the codes and from what you shown so far I believe it will spell a lot of troubles at later stages where revisions will always certainly happens. Imagine if the design are totally changes and yet you need to keep the logic of the apps. This kind of flow requires you to stick with what the tools provided you with and trust me it might be working for your simple Hello World like project but on the complex projects with quite a lot of stuff happens within pages it basically will just add hours of tasks just to keep up with the changes.
1. Do clients know what they want ? 2. Are the clients capable of describing what the want ? If the answer to both is "Yes", then yes, AI will destroy UI, UX and product design
What happens to conflicts once I add backend logic? How does it know what code is irrelevant to the design? What happens when I eslint? I tried a competitor in the past pre gpt and it was annoying to use.
IntraWeb is kind of similar, was available for tens of years and yet it is like no one uses it. Can you understand, why? Because for me it seems like whole world gone the wrong way with how to make SPAs. Why not make it this way? In one tool for both front and back and for design.
Thanks to this tool, my boss has become an even bigger of a pr*ck than he usually is, thinking AI will magically create our project 100x faster and is angry at why it isn't finished yet.

Who the fuck writes Code from Scratch. Before AI I copied from Stack Overflow, now im copying from ChatGPT. That the difference
i like this guy lol@@HQKerim
so great. The thing I wannted the most for now. thanks for your sharing
This tool is wild.
As anew coder such things just make me anxious , seems im studying for something that will be redundant soon!
Most likely yes
You kinda arrived late to the party bro, sorry... but for now, the music is still playing.
But me as a developers not always have the permission to edit stuff on the figma. So i still need to do the design on my own
figma does have a feature where the owner of the figma file can allow another contributor to make changes, and they also maintain version control.
Hello thansk for your video , i have some issues with locofy, when i try to select my pages he no detect nothing, so i can't use it

The tool is not entirely free so stop misleading people. Also your demo doesnt prove much ....
is this work also for creating a wordpress plugin?
I'd prefer to convert the figma design to ReactJS manually instead of getting into this headache.
My Locify just gives me a list of videos to watch. How do I get the components to appear?
Pretty cool, especially for designers or freelancers
best ai tool for me
Very well presented ! Thank you
16:52 "figma design to a fully functional project" can you show me how you upload your profile picture ?
That's great and all, but can we convert Ligma to code?
I have worked with this ai code you have lots of restrictions and they mainly used old practices so better to code with developers directly
Any chance you will support Ionic/Angular?
what is the difference between this and the new dev mode in figma ?
This is much more advanced.
it is using "position:absolute" for everything
Lol now UI/UX desginer who don't know how to code can make webpages.
Now, coders will learn UI/UX if they want to keep their jobs.

You can't use percentages in Figma. Is therefore Locofy also not using percentages?
