From Figma to Production: How ExodeUI Replaces Haiku Animator in Your Pipeline
Three tools, three subscriptions, three learning curves. ExodeUI replaces the Figma + Haiku Animator + React stack with one seamless workflow. Built in Bangalore, for the world.
Real Workflow: Before vs After
Before (Figma + Haiku Animator + React):
- Design in Figma
- Export assets
- Import to Haiku Animator
- Animate in Haiku Animator
- Export JSON
- Add Haiku Animator runtime to React app
- Write wrapper component
- Sync state manually
After (Figma + ExodeUI):
- Design in Figma
- Export to ExodeUI
- Add states and transitions visually
- Export React component
That's it. 4 steps instead of 8.
The Figma Problem
Figma is exceptional for static design. But the moment you need interactivity — hover states, transitions, animations — you need Haiku Animator (or similar) to fill the gap. This creates a fragmented workflow where design lives in one tool and behavior lives in another.
ExodeUI eliminates this fragmentation. Your Figma designs import directly, and behavior is added visually through state machines — no Haiku Animator required.
The Handoff Gap
Haiku Animator was supposed to bridge the handoff gap between designers and developers. In practice, it adds a layer: designers create animations in Haiku Animator, export them, and developers still need to integrate them manually.
ExodeUI closes the gap entirely. The designer builds the component with behavior in the visual editor. The developer receives a component that works. No Haiku Animator files to manage. No integration debt.
