Haiku Animator Was the Missing Link. Then ExodeUI Made It Obsolete.
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.
From Static to Living
Designers export from Figma. Developers open the export, add Haiku Animator for animations, wire up state management, and hope nothing breaks. This process repeats for every design change.
ExodeUI's Figma plugin exports designs directly into the visual editor where you add states, transitions, and logic. The output is a production-ready component that needs no Haiku Animator wrapper, no manual integration, no state management wiring.
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.
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 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.
