I am building component libraries and soon full documented design system for a mid-sized team working on massive e-learning tools.

 

management is interested in thing like plugins like locofy.ai to streamline work.

 

i personally am anti-plugin for many reasons, but I digress as I need to answer leadership questions.

 

I would really love to find someone to have an actual consult or conversation with about their use of locofy and how their developers and teams work with it.

 

Anyone interested in discussing? I don’t really know where to begin, but want to get some experienced stories.

 

Thanks.

Well. I sat through the Locofy sales pitch first video chat.

 

i must say that I found their efforts amazing. They were super helpful and very attentive. Communication after was terrific!

 

the demo is stellar and really explains the product. It seems to do a great job! Lots of really nice stuff in there.

 

as expected though, your Figma needs to be impeccable. Naming, positioning, and full-on proper auto layout and the works. Nothing that I have ever seen a designer have the time to do.

 

it can’t create full flows of export. Especially with links across pages. They seemed surprised that I wanted that. Do other people not build large clickable demos?

 

locofy seems great if you want to create a coded export of a small design element. Like a card or carousel. Maybe a full page(frame). But I don’t see it handling liks and navigation well.

 

the big dealbreaker is the cost. It is one of those “credits-driven” things. So you buy a bunch of credits and are charged credits for every little thing you export. Collectively! So exporting a full page would cost a ton. Definitely not an affordable solution.

 

Good product. But they have monetized it to the point of putting users in a bad position...like Figma making modes inaccessible for anyone but the wealthy.

 

again. Good product. Great service.
