Dev Mode: Bridging the Gap Between Developers and Designers
Dev Mode in Figma is designed to bring developers and designers together in the same tool. It allows developers to have a home within a design tool and addresses the challenge of creating a space that caters to developers. Dev Mode was developed based on the experience gained from a startup acquired by Figma called Visley, where the iteration process from PSDs to HTML influenced its creation. It provides features like code generation, popular design system integration, and the ability to participate in the software development lifecycle. With Dev Mode, developers can clone production environments, have their own developer environments at low cost, and work collaboratively with designers to build and iterate on applications.
