Hey Team,

As I’ve been updating a few of my webapps in Figma Make, I’ve run into a recurring problem: the tool generates unnecessarily lengthy and verbose code.

For example, one of my recent apps ended up with nearly 3,000 lines of code for a very simple app. When I reviewed this through Claude Code in Cursor, it flagged that the same app could have been built in a much shorter and cleaner way.

Because of this bloat, every time I try to add a feature or fix a bug, Figma Make ends up rewriting 1,600+ lines at once. This not only makes the code much harder to maintain, but often leads to build errors when the generation cuts off midway due to context limits.

I don’t mind the “complete rewrite” approach in theory, but when the code is always this large and the system struggles to maintain context, it becomes nearly impossible to build stable apps over time. Code maintainability is one of the most basic requirements for any development tool, and right now this feels like a significant blocker.

I believe the top priority right now should be improving how Figma Make generates cleaner, more maintainable code. I would love to see this tool become a serious rival to Lovable in the industry, but in its current form it risks losing users who want to adopt it as their main app-building platform.

For context, I’m paying $23/month for this product. Tools like Lovable and Claude Code cost around the same but currently deliver more stable, maintainable outputs. That makes it hard to justify sticking with Figma Make unless these issues are addressed quickly.

Would love to know:

  • Is the team aware of this code-length and maintainability issue?

  • Are there best practices to reduce generated code size today?

  • Are there roadmap items addressing context window and scalability limitations in larger apps?

Please make this a priority. Figma Make has the potential to become the next big tool in this space — but only if it can rival existing players at the same level.

Thanks!
