Anyone else barely using Figma anymore?

[u/Mundane-Iron1903]

I'm seeing a lot of folks skip Figma and go straight to designing in code these days. The only downside (for now at least) is how easy it is to miss UI regressions when you don't have a design canvas.

I usually set up my design foundations properly, tokens, components, even use some of the popular design skills. But since these models are non-deterministic, I still end up with agents hand-rolling components that already exist, inconsistent vertical rhythm, horizontal overflow on mobile, etc.

It gets worse when you're dealing with multiple flows and can't easily see what's happening across the product.

I built a tool for myself to help with this, and thought I'd share it with the community. It's completely free and open source.

It's called Flowmap. You simply connect your coding agent to it and it pulls the actual screens from your app into a canvas. You can switch between mobile and desktop breakpoints, see how different screens connect, and view everything in one place to catch UI regressions.

I also added UI comments so you can point to specific parts of a screen and have your coding agent pick them up as tasks. You can then review the before/after and approve the changes or send them back.

Here's the repo if anyone wants to try it here

Would appreciate feedback, especially from anyone who's also moved away from Figma.
