ProtoPie Was the Missing Link. Then ExodeUI Made It Obsolete.

The dream workflow: design in Figma, animate with ProtoPie, code in React. Sounds great until you actually try to maintain it. ExodeUI collapses this into one tool — designed and built in India.

From Static to Living

Designers export from Figma. Developers open the export, add ProtoPie 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 ProtoPie wrapper, no manual integration, no state management wiring.

The Handoff Gap

ProtoPie was supposed to bridge the handoff gap between designers and developers. In practice, it adds a layer: designers create animations in ProtoPie, 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 ProtoPie files to manage. No integration debt.

Real Workflow: Before vs After

Before (Figma + ProtoPie + React):

  1. Design in Figma
  2. Export assets
  3. Import to ProtoPie
  4. Animate in ProtoPie
  5. Export JSON
  6. Add ProtoPie 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.

Built in India, Built for the World

ExodeUI is proud to be an Indian product competing on the global stage. No favors, no subsidies — just better technology. Try it free and see why teams are switching from ProtoPie.
