I used the Figma Make export tool to generate a React site, and it initially worked beautifully — it saved me an incredible amount of time. I was able to deploy the site and fortunately saved the generated source code. However, the export only included the source files, not the necessary config files (package.json
, tailwind.config.js
, tsconfig.json
, vite.config.ts
), which makes it extremely difficult to rebuild or modify the project. After many attempts and major code changes, I still can't get it working — especially the CSS.
Worse, after using the tool again with a second prompt, the entire project broke and became unbuildable, throwing errors (specifically from figma_app.min.js
). There is no way to undo this or roll back. While there is a "Save local copy" feature, there's no way to open it again — a major missing feature that could have saved the project.
