Hi everyone 👋🏽🧡. Samraaj and Samuel here from ion design. We’re super excited to share what we’ve been working on with you!
tldr:
ion design automatically turns Figma designs into pixel-perfect, production-ready code, speeding up front-end implementation time by at least 40%.
We accomplish this by serving a fully featured Figma design system and matching React component library. This allows our generations to come out with incredibly high-quality, functional code that saves hours of time.
Think of us like UntitledUI and Shadcn on steroids - we speed up both the design and implementation processes.
Deal:
Our design system with 5,000+ custom components is available for just $10 for the first 100 customers - get access here
Here’s a quick demo of our design system being used to generate a production-ready application:
Design and front-end engineering is re-doing the same work twice. We think this is ridiculous, and a total waste of time for businesses that leads to a multitude of problems:
ion serves a customizable design system & component library that can be synced with your codebase ✨automatically✨.
We’re the first UI-kit that’s tightly coupled between Figma and React and works with out-of-the-box code generation.
Here are some killer features:
Using ion also saves your designers thousands of hours by serving 5,000+ well-built Figma components. This empowers you to design faster and maintain consistency across your application. Here’s a gif of me creating a screen in a matter of minutes:
Our design system is endlessly theme-able and syncs directly with the CSS variables in your codebase. Light mode and dark mode are baked into the system.
Say goodbye to re-writing classnames and pulling your hair out to get things to look good. You can even add whatever custom themes you want.
Ion automatically converts Figma designs into clean react code to speed up front-end engineers.
How it works: Ion plugs into existing engineering workflows through a VSCode extension and, given the context, learns from the codebase to write the best possible code. Ion also wraps existing design systems to generate modular pieces that are easy to modify and integrate.
Ion enables designers to change designs that have already been implemented and automatically shoot out PRs to update the code. This removes significant engineering work and allows the engineers to review rather than write design fixes from scratch. We retain pre-existing changes to the code, so the design changes don’t mess with written logic.
Benefit to team: Engineers view design implementation as rote, monotonous work. So Ion automates that part and allows them to focus on the more interesting aspects that actually drive value - like business logic, front end architecture, and asynchronous data.
