Design to Code for Interactive UI & Living Components
Stop rebuilding interactive designs by hand. The ExodeUI file you design is the file your app plays, with inputs and events your code controls.
What is Design to in ExodeUI?
Design-to-code is a software workflow where visual design artifacts translate directly into clean, human-readable, and production-ready source code. ExodeUI accomplishes this for interactive UI by modeling components as open scene graphs with visual state machines and spring parameters, eliminating the manual coding of animations and micro-interactions.
Core Architecture
Why Engineers & Designers Choose ExodeUI
Design, logic and motion in one file that runs inside your app.
Clean Idiomatic JSX
The code generated by ExodeUI uses standard React patterns, hooks, and clean prop interfaces that fit seamlessly into existing repositories.
SwiftUI runtime
Export pure Swift code utilizing SwiftUI Views, property wrappers, and native Apple CoreAnimation springs with no external runtime baggage.
Open JSON Document Spec
The .exode document format is plain JSON. Inspect, version-control in Git, and feed directly to AI coding agents via MCP toolchains.
Responsive by Design
ExodeUI files carry full UI layout with breakpoints, so one component adapts from phone to desktop instead of scaling a fixed animation.
Objective Evaluation
How ExodeUI Compares to Traditional Design Handoff Tools
Where ExodeUI is stronger, and what to weigh before you switch.
ExodeUI
- Generates executable components with working interaction states
- Inspectable, copyable React JSX, Tailwind, and SwiftUI code
- Eliminates the "translation tax" where engineers manually rewrite specs
- Open .exode format designed for AI agents and automated PR pipelines
Traditional Design Handoff Tools
- Exports static redlines, CSS margins, and static image assets
- No code for dynamic interactions, gestures, or logic transitions
- Developers must spend 60% of sprint time manually building UI behavior
- Discrepancies between Figma mockups and real app implementation
Developer Handoff
Using It in Your Code
Your app loads the compiled file through the ExodeUI runtime and talks to it through inputs and events.
// Generated cleanly by ExodeUI Studio
import React, { useState } from 'react';
export function LivingCard({ title, badge, children }) {
const [hovered, setHovered] = useState(false);
return (
<div
onMouseEnter={() => setHovered(true)}
onMouseLeave={() => setHovered(false)}
style={{
transform: hovered ? 'translateY(-4px)' : 'translateY(0px)',
transition: 'transform 240ms cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)'
}}
className="p-6 bg-zinc-900 border border-zinc-800 rounded-2xl shadow-xl"
>
<span className="text-xs font-mono text-violet-400">{badge}</span>
<h3 className="text-lg font-semibold text-white mt-2">{title}</h3>
<div className="mt-4 text-zinc-400 text-sm">{children}</div>
</div>
);
