BackWIMP Launches An MVP & Saves 70% Development Time
Transforming designs into high-quality code can often feel like a time-consuming process. However, with the aid of Locofy.ai, Where is My Package (WIMP) has achieved groundbreaking results in its front-end development.
Since Locofy.ai offers a multitude of options when it comes to code settings, a proper naming structure & AI-powered features, they were able to generate high-quality code that's not just a div soup and integrate it easily with their existing codebase.
Customer Overview
WIMP is a Toronto-based company that is tackling the problem of overflowing mailrooms and lost or stolen packages in apartment complexes. Their innovative solution focuses on creating organized systems to efficiently track and place incoming letters and packages.
Their main goal is to enhance apartment living by providing a secure and efficient method for managing incoming mail and packages.
WIMP was in need of a solution to enhance their focus on the core business logic of their application. Before adopting Locofy.ai, they had all their design files prepared; however, they lacked a convenient method to swiftly translate these files into code.
The process of converting designs to pixel-perfect code can keep lean teams from focusing on the actual problem they are trying to solve. Moreover, the code also has to follow the best industry practices. Also, they had to iterate over the apps based on their client's feedback so the code needed to be in a modular structure.
In their quest to simplify this procedure, they explored various existing solutions and eventually, stumbled upon Locofy.ai – a tool that turned out to be the answer they were seeking to accomplish their goals of streamlining the design-to-code workflow.
Discovering Locofy.ai at precisely the right moment has brought immense benefits to WIMP
Locofy.ai allowed WIMP to choose between renowned frameworks such as React, Vue, Next, and React Native, according to their specific needs. This aspect proved particularly advantageous as it freed them from the constraints of a framework that didn't align with their existing requirements. Locofy.ai also enabled them to further customise the code by allowing them to choose between TypeScript and JavaScript, as well as different styling options such as TailwindCSS and CSS-in-JS.
Additionally, the nature of their product necessitates user interaction. With Locofy.ai's Tagging feature, they were able to turn their static design elements into interactive code components, enhancing the overall user experience.
Furthermore, the Locofy.ai Builder allowed the team to collaborate in real time and share live prototypes. This feature proved instrumental in gathering early feedback, ensuring that the project was on the right track from the beginning.
Locofy has saved us countless hours in our design-to-code workflow and helped us work more effectively. I liked how easy it is to tag and identify interactive elements, and how seamless the export process is. Locofy can continue being an essential part of a company’s workflow and continue integrating with more development platforms.
Locofy.ai is a great tool being leveraged by startups and small teams to generate pixel-perfect code from designs. With AI features like Design Optimizer users get suggestions to make designs cleaner by removing unnecessary frames and images, and applying best Figma practices to increase the quality of code generated by Locofy.ai.
The Auto-Components feature offered by Locofy.ai is a game changer. With it, you can easily split your designs into components with props to get modular code for easier extensibility. It also reduces code duplication and lets you easily render content with dynamic data.
Furthermore, the user-friendliness of the Locofy.ai builder greatly simplifies the process for WIMP to share code. Through different exporting choices such as zip files and seamless synchronisation with GitHub, they can easily keep their designs and code in sync. Additionally, the builder provides a live, responsive prototype, enabling team members to observe the code's functionality in real-time. This enhances productive collaboration and guarantees consistent alignment among all team members throughout the development phase.
By using Locofy.ai, WIMP has been able to launch an early prototype of their product.
