Reviewer scorecard
“Perfect for prototyping. I described a dashboard and had a working app in 3 minutes. Not production-ready, but unbeatable for speed-to-demo.”
“The code quality is surprisingly good — real shadcn components, not generic divs with inline styles. Saves me 2-3 hours per UI component.”
“Impressive demo, but the generated code is messy and you'll rewrite most of it. If you can't code, you can't fix what it breaks. Know what you're getting into.”
“Does one thing extremely well: turning ideas into working UI. It won't replace a designer, but it eliminates the blank canvas problem.”
“As a creator who needs quick landing pages and MVPs, this is a game-changer. I built a waitlist page with email capture in under 5 minutes.”
“As a creator, I can now prototype landing pages in minutes instead of hours. The Figma-to-code flow is a game changer for my workflow.”
