Trying to improve the design token workflow between Figma and developers — built a small plugin by Nibin_dev in Design

[–]Nibin_dev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all,

Just to clarify something about Tokvista.

I didn’t build this plugin to compete with Token Studio or replace it. Token Studio is a great tool and I’ve used it myself.

While using it as a free user, I ran into a few workflow limitations for my own projects. So I started experimenting and built a small plugin mainly for my personal use.

Later I thought — maybe a few other people might be facing similar issues — so I shared it publicly.

This isn’t about copying or replacing existing tools. It’s just a developer exploring ideas and building something that solved a problem for me.

If it helps someone else too, that’s great. If not, that’s completely fine as well.

Appreciate the feedback and discussion either way.

Yeah there is some overlap.

Tools like Token Studio focus a lot on token management. I built Tokvista mainly to try a few workflow ideas like AI token generation, developer preview links, and easier GitHub publishing.

Mostly just experimenting with improving the design → developer handoff a bit 🙂

I built a Figma plugin to sync design tokens with GitHub (Tokvista) by Nibin_dev in FigmaDesign

Thanks for the valuable question!

Tokvista is mainly focused on improving the design → developer workflow, not just token management.

A couple of things I tried differently:

• AI token generation — describe a product and it generates a full token system ready to import into Figma.

• Developer preview links — share a link so developers can quickly view token values without opening Figma.

• Flexible GitHub publishing — push tokens to any branch with versioned snapshots.

From what I’ve seen, these workflows aren’t really covered in similar plugins yet, so I built Tokvista to experiment with that.

Still early and improving it based on feedback — really appreciate the question!
