Customer Overview

Kevin Bob is a web developer who works as a freelancer from Toronto, Canada. As a freelancer, he gets several projects from clients all around the world and builds specialised applications for them, fulfilling their business needs. In recent times Kevin has been building a web application for Nano-Diamond Battery, a company whose goal is to make sustainable and innovative batteries to reduce carbon emissions in the environment.

Challenges
Kevin's Challenge

Kevin, prior to using Locofy.ai, stumbled upon the challenge of hand-coding Figma designs and making them functional frontend code. As a solo frontend developer, he often had to convert several design pages into actual code which was a tedious and time-consuming process.

In addition, all the pages needed to be interactive and responsive on all screen sizes, as well as a pixel-perfect representation of the designs.

Moreover, the code quality had to be high as well and should be able to adapt to the client's changing demands and needs.

Solution Overview
How Locofy.ai Helped

While working with Figma, Kevin came across Locofy.ai, a tool that not only generates production-ready code but also, gives you the flexibility to create components, bring in your components, and directly deploy your app within the builder among the many things it can do.

The product he was working on would require frequent updates as the company showcases the latest projects, and for this reason, the designs would have to be updated often. Thanks to Locofy.ai's Github integration, he is able to do this easily.

With the GitHub integration feature of Locofy.ai, he is able to sync his designs to the builder and push all the changes to GitHub, every time the design would change. The Builder automatically detects the changes and provides conflict resolutions, allowing him to keep his designs and code in sync seamlessly.

Moreover, with AI-powered features, such as Auto-Tagging and Auto-Components, he was able to quickly make his static designs interactive and split them into reusable components.

Locofy.ai also grants the ability to assign on-click actions, enabling builders to create interactive user flows. Kevin benefitted from this feature as the pages he was building required actions to trigger events like the sidebar menus and navigating between pages.

There are other AI tools such as Locofy but the main reason I used this tool in the first place was because it has very easy-to-follow instructions. Also, the quick responses from the customer support team helps me build fast and learn more. Using this tool freed up a lot of my time for other development.
