Software companies are now in a split. The line is gray, and it keeps moving between what is software (Wix, traded at $4B on $2B revenue) and what is AI (Lovable, valued at $13B on $0.5B revenue).

Earlier this year, software companies' valuations crashed based on a fear that AI will replace software. While the index seems a bit more stable, many stocks did not ercover, and maybe never will.

Anyone building SaaS or investing in SaaS today should have multiples in mind. This impacts valuations early on, as this is what you could grow into, and we are valued based on that potential.

I am the CEO and co-founder of Anima - Automated design to code (i.e. Figma to React).

With over 600K installs, Anima is the #1 tool for developers in the Figma store and was recently named a representative vendor of the design-to-code space by Gartner.

I talked recently about the future of product design and development teams, and here, I put things in writing.


Hi!

Yes, you can actually try out a sample project without the Sketch file - After signup, select "Create sample project".

Then go to Code-mode and pick any part of the design to get React code. Developer 101: https://www.animaapp.com/resources/anima-101

In Code-mode, there's a settings icon, you can pick functional or class-based components. The idea is to have more settings coming, like styled components (CSS in React) etc.

Regarding Speed - Yes! once you've synced a design file (may take 1-2 minutes for multiple screens), you can pick any part of it and get React components code in 1 second.

Let me know how it works for you, thanks!!


Haha thanks for the kind words!

If you're going to do React soon, give it a shot, it's free and it'll save you precious time. I'd love to hear your feedback.


Thanks!

1/ Trial - React is currently opened and free for everyone. Go to the "Developers" tab here to see how to use it: https://www.animaapp.com/resources/anima-101

2/ Both! The idea is that you'll get code that suits you. You can already decide on class/functional components. We'll add more conventions down the road.
