Show HN: Makers.so – A Website Builder Inside Figma
by johnthemaker on Hacker News.
Founder here. Makers.so is a Figma Plugin to build and publish sites without ever leaving Figma. Here’s a demo [0]. As a front-end developer I constantly go from Figma to code / site, but it’s tedious… I decided to automate the process with this plugin. It works great for simple projects like: – Landing Pages – Portfolio / Personal sites – Resume sites – Careers / Wiki sites So, not a Webflow / Framer competitor (yet). Webflow and Framer are amazing tools, but if you are in the Figma ecosystem, it’s boring to duplicate your work on a different tool. I’m trying to make life easier for Figma users. If this seems interesting, you can install it here [1] and give it a try. — For a bit of context, I’m a solo-founder and I started Makers after sharing my idea on the Figma subreddit about how awesome it would be to have a button in Figma to publish my designs. A good amount of people seemed to agree, and that was enough to start working on it. This is turning out to be a super fun project, and I’ve been working full-time for the last two months.
