BackUS-based Startup Built An MVP in Record Time with Locofy.ai
Impressed by the capabilities of Locofy.ai, Stan decided to integrate this powerful tool into their development workflow. Using Locofy.ai’s intuitive step by step flow, Stan efficiently transformed their Figma design into a live interactive prototype for early user feedback.
Customer Overview
Stan is a social events app that lets users create an event, invite people and manage the attendees. When an event is created by a user, a group chat is created alongside that event where users can talk and engage to coordinate or to get essential information regarding that event. Stan’s mission is to address the issue of event details getting lost in large chat groups and to offer a more organized and engaging solution for event planning & coordination.
Stan is a small team consisting of just two individuals with deep product & design expertise. They encountered significant hurdles to get their prototype actively working. Before adopting Locofy.ai, the team had to manually convert UI wireframes into functional code, resulting in a tedious and error-prone process. As a consequence, their development and implementation cycles experienced considerable slowdowns. However, this experience led Stan to discover Locofy.ai, an AI-powered tool designed to expedite the product shipping process by up to 10 times.
While Rishi Narain, the Product Manager at Stan, was actively searching for low-code tools that could help them build an MVP super fast, he came across Locofy.ai and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the code generated. He was able to test out the live prototype within just 20 minutes. Utilizing Locofy.ai's tagging capabilities, they effortlessly transformed static elements into interactive ones. Moreover, the seamless GitHub integration offered by Locofy.ai allowed them to iterate over their designs without the burden of manually updating their code to match the latest design changes, ensuring their designs and code remained in sync.
Locofy is a platform that’s unparalleled in terms of its functionality. I have yet to use a product that so seamlessly converts my Figma designs into functional front-end code. The amount of time this product has saved us is invaluable, and it has supercharged our ability to rapidly test and iterate. We can get the product into the hands of our customers much quicker.
Startups and small teams find great value in Locofy.ai's ability to generate high-quality, production-ready code from designs. Stan experienced these benefits firsthand. With Locofy.ai's Design Optimizer, products can be shipped faster, as this feature uses an AI model that scans the entire design and suggests changes to make it responsive.
Additionally, Locofy.ai offers the flexibility to configure projects to work with either JavaScript or TypeScript, catering to different coding preferences and requirements.
Unlike traditional prototypes that require separate designs for different screen sizes, Locofy.ai enables the creation of a single live responsive prototype that fits all screen widths. This saves time and effort, particularly for projects with many screens and states. By harnessing this capability, the team received prompt feedback and efficiently refined their product through rapid testing and iteration.
With the help of Locofy.ai Stan has built a live prototype to collect early feedback and iterate to launch a great events app.
