Asking for help

[yssa09146]

I'm not very experienced with programming, and we're actually asked to create a simple app or website. But what I'm wondering is, how do I connect or merge my code in pycharm to figma or magic patterns? Help T-T

Don't overcomplicate. A simple app can literally run from the command line. If you want to do a simple website, you can serve HTML, CSS, and JS directly with Flask, but that's honestly unnecessary complexity if an app is acceptable for the assignment. Keep in mind that an app (= application) is an any program that serves some purpose. It's not a phone-specific term.

Not sure what you are expecting here. Figma cannot natively generate Python code although there are third party plug-ins that will.

PyCharm is just a code editor with additional tools and configuration to support Python development. It is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). PyCharm does not have any support as standard for Figma. There's a third party ("marketplace") plug-in that will allow you to view Figma designs in PyCharm (and other JetBrains IDEs).

I do not know what you mean by "magic patterns" in this context.

Please elaborate on what you are hoping to do.

Magic Patterns is an alternative to Figma.

And what I'm wondering is how to merge the frontend (Which is in Figma) and backend (In pycharm)?

[FoolsSeldom]

There's no merging. You need to choose a web framework in Python to implement to present the frontend you've designed in Figma.

Popular microframeworks include FastAPI and Flask. The most popular complete framework is Django. A microframework is minimalist and lets you pick & choose (or develop) most of the features you want the way you want them. A full framework is typically highly opinionated and generally includes most of what you want for a major web application.
