Really looking forward to this progressing to automatic React component generation and onto bidirectional sync; prompting automatic pull requests on Figma changes for affected components.

I find that there are few tasks in software development more uninteresting than converting Figma designs into React components. The day I no longer have to do that will be a great day indeed :)

I'm going to have to look into this because while that sounds like an incredible future, I don't see it. we have thousands of custom classes and dozens of material themes, can Figma work with that and then generate a component using our core custom styles?...

Tailwind simplifies part of that problem since you don't need to map to the myriad of custom class names in use, rather you solely need to preprocess off the tailwind config.

Companies like Bifrost (YC W22) are working on this problem and already automatically generate React components from Figma autolayout designs.
