Design in Figma, Animate in Haiku Animator? Nah. Do It All in ExodeUI.

Every designer who's tried the Figma → Haiku Animator → React pipeline knows the pain. ExodeUI eliminates the middleman. Here's how.

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):

  1. Design in Figma
  2. Export assets
  3. Import to Haiku Animator
  4. Animate in Haiku Animator
  5. Export JSON
  6. Add Haiku Animator runtime to React app
  7. Write wrapper component
  8. Sync state manually

After (Figma + ExodeUI):

  1. Design in Figma
  2. Export to ExodeUI
  3. Add states and transitions visually
  4. Export React component

That's it. 4 steps instead of 8.

Your Next Step

Stop fighting Haiku Animator's React integration. Start building components that work out of the box. ExodeUI is free — built in Bangalore, for the world.
