We shipped a major update to EspritCode. New direction: built for freelancers shipping client landing pages. Deterministic Figma-to-HTML output — same input, same result. Unlike general-purpose AI tools. https://t.co/oP5IkLWG8c

New on the blog:
A guide to Figma-to-HTML/CSS conversion in 2026.
Tools promising "pixel-perfect" output are misleading or limited. CSS has real limits — honest positioning beats inflated claims.

Wrote up the thinking behind why I changed EspritCode's positioning this week. TL;DR: "perfect" Figma-to-code conversion isn't real, and pretending otherwise just disappoints users. The honest pitch is stronger anyway.

Built EspritCode for 6 months. The honest truth: no Figma-to-code tool is perfect. CSS has limits. So we stopped pretending. The LP now says what it really is — a head start on implementation, not a finished product. That positioning, finally 👇 https://t.co/oP5IkLWG8c
Figma's Auto Layout is powerful. But translating it to CSS manually is painful. Esprit Code converts it automatically: → Spacing → gap → Alignment → align-items Free plan available. 👉 https://t.co/oP5IkLWG8c #Figma#CSS#buildinpublic
Most Figma-to-code tools charge $20–$50/month. Esprit Code starts at $10/month. → Auto Layout to Flexbox → Masks, gradients & blend modes → Multi-frame export Free plan available — no credit card required. 👉 https://t.co/oP5IkLWG8c #Figma#FigmaToCode#WebDesign
@thisiskp_ The iPhone photo analogy is sharp. Lowering the barrier always expands what gets made — not just professional work, but personal and niche things that wouldn't exist otherwise. "Just for you and folks like you" takes the pressure off in a useful way.
@marclou Impressive month. The TrustMRR trajectory is particularly interesting — a 3% acquisition fee model scales differently than subscription, curious how churn compares to your other products.
@marclou The 0→1 pull is hard to reason your way out of. Early stage has unique energy — every decision matters and you can see the thing forming in real time. Building Esprit Code solo, the urge to start something new hits hardest right when the current thing works.
Two weeks in with Esprit Code. What we've learned: → Organic discovery works → Users care most about code quality → Community feedback shapes the roadmap Building in public — sharing every step. 👉 https://t.co/oP5IkLWG8c #buildinpublic#indiedev#Figma
@coscosmico Thank you so much! 🙏 It definitely felt like a strong signal — someone found it organically without any paid promotion, which was encouraging. Still very early days, but it's motivating to keep building and improving the tool.
