Cursor + Claude are amazing… but why is UI still so painful?

by•

Hey everyone đź‘‹

We has been experimenting a lot with workflows using Cursor / Claude Code recently, and we keep running into the same issue:

The AI is incredible at logic, features, APIs, and iteration…
but when it comes to UI and understanding designs — things start to fall apart pretty quickly.

Some common things I keep seeing:

  • Layouts breaking even on simple Figma-to-code prompts

  • Spacing / alignment not matching design intent

  • Responsive behavior needing constant manual fixing

  • AI not really understanding Figma structure or component hierarchy

This isn’t really a tooling gap in AI coding agents — it’s a missing layer in the workflow, because

Locofy sits exactly in that layer between Figma and AI coding agents like Cursor and Claude Code.

It converts Figma designs into structured, pixel-perfect frontend code so AI agents can reliably build on top of a clean UI foundation instead of trying to reconstruct design intent from scratch.

That “design-to-structured-frontend” layer is what makes vibecoding workflows actually work for production UI.
