🧠 Challenges
Manual Coding Overheads
Gorka's development team spent weeks to months manually converting Figma designs into frontend code, slowing down project timelines.
Consistency Issues
Ensuring consistent quality and structure in the generated code was difficult, especially for complex designs with various components.
Folder Structure Adaptation
Svelte/Kit's unique folder structure requirements added an additional layer of complexity, necessitating custom adjustments after code generation.
❤️ How FireJet Helped
Using FireJet, Gorka was able to:
Reduce Development Time
The tool significantly cut down the time required to translate Figma designs into code, allowing the team to focus on more critical development tasks.
Improve Code Quality
FireJet generated clean, maintainable Svelte code, ensuring a consistent and professional standard across all projects.
Adapt to Svelte/Kit
Despite initial folder structure discrepancies, the team found efficient ways to integrate FireJet's output into their Svelte/Kit projects. They also developed Python scripts to automate some of the conversion processes, further enhancing efficiency.
We have decided to continue using FireJet. In the coming months, we will be translating our Figma designs into Svelte + Svelte/Kit code, and we have found that FireJet is the best Figma plugin for this job. The Svelte code is good quality. We are long-term customers.
