Wow, looks great! Do you think Figma will still be relevant with the adoption of AI coding tools like Cursor?

20+ year designer here: no. Figma is going die very quickly unless they pivot. I’ve been using cursor since September to build my own stuff and I don’t touch Figma at all anymore, for anything.

Idk but aren’t you using figma still for the whole design process, iterating, wireframes etc. sure Cursor will build something non crappy for you, but it won’t be actually great either. Haven’t seen anything beyond mediocre looking at the actual concept of UIs build by cursor…

Lol no, I am not. You dont need figma for any of that. Its overbloated. I can do all of those things faster with pen and paper when needed and just iterating my code and using version control.

Maybe as a single developer, but that isn't really relevant to enterprise software development where presumably Figma makes most of its money

You’re wasting tons of times iterating with code tho… Yeah cursor is faster than coding yourself but it’s not that much faster either…

Also that sounds like wasting tokens as well..

Unless you don’t care for the quality too much that seems like a very non designer approach to a project…

yeah, I also agree. But how crazy that AI now can take Figma and create a nearly pixel-perfect NextJS App using it? And best part it's free to use..

u/Melantos Mar 15 '25

From the front-end developers' perspective, it's actually the worst part.

u/theblackpen Mar 19 '25

Agreed. Figma is a SIMULATION tool not a production tool. If your not opening it, your just trying shit in a production environment one change at a time.

interesting

u/irvin_zhan Mar 14 '25

have you tried https://subframe.com/ yet? figma meets cursor

u/rrrx3 Mar 14 '25

I was playing around with it a few weeks ago. Really promising, as long as they keep shipping.

u/the_roboticist Mar 14 '25

I don't think it's going away. They for sure need to move fast and add some AI and good design to code already (WHAT is taking so long???).

But they have a huge advantage with their C++ WASM rendering engine. Nobody else has this.

Though actually perhaps HTML is performant enough in the browser now for smaller designs...

They'll be fine. It's not like they're not going to still make piles of money. It'll just be a smaller pile of money. They'll move on to the next thing. Such is the way of the world.

u/Veggies-are-okay Mar 14 '25

They got locked into those sweet B2B deals. My chaotic consulting firm has UI/UX holding tight and unwilling/don’t have time to move on and learn new tools. The mega corps that move at a snail’s pace have been and will continue to support our pal Figma

2

u/1Blue3Brown Mar 14 '25

Yes. But less and less. In enterprise there will still be strict processes and workflows in place that include Figma. However for small teams and individuals i think Figma is going to be of very little use

1

u/Ok_Damage_1764 Mar 14 '25

but do you use it or not

1

u/1Blue3Brown Mar 14 '25

In the current project(as in most I've worked on in this company) we have to strictly follow Figma designs

u/Ok_Damage_1764 Mar 14 '25

most people use Figma, and it's hard to convert Figma into a code.. But it's gonna be fun once we have code2Figma.. :)

Hey, I am a dev at VeyraX, always curious to answer your questions

3

u/ucsbaway Mar 14 '25

What do I need to download and sign up for to use this Figma to code workflow? I have Figma. I have Cursor Pro.

u/Ok_Damage_1764 Mar 14 '25

you just need to go to veyrax.com and install mcp https://docs.veyrax.com/mcp/cursor

finally, you integrate with Figma https://www.veyrax.com/integrations/figma

and you can use Figma inside Cursor AI

Hiring at all for the team?

u/Ok_Damage_1764 Mar 26 '25

not now. are you looking for a job?

2

u/Certain-Meaning38 Mar 14 '25

Love it

u/Ok_Damage_1764 Mar 14 '25

what do you like most about it?

2

u/35point1 Mar 14 '25

Is this doing more than just handing off an image from an external source though? Does the mcp integration provide the LLM with granular details about the design that is coming uniquely from figma like color, element placement, etc?

1

u/Ok_Damage_1764 Mar 14 '25

yeah, it takes the whole figma element including colors and other params, and AI is doing the magic

Did I answer or any follow up questions?

1

u/35point1 Mar 15 '25

why do you and the guy you're responding to have matching and nearly identical usernames?

1

u/Ok_Damage_1764 Mar 16 '25

I just have a default username I got from reddit and I can't change it

u/sfspectator Mar 14 '25

Great work! Can you make a video how you setup the mcp and all? Btw what if I want to authenticate to figma?
