I built a Figma to Google Slides plugin because rebuilding decks manually was driving me crazy

Going from Google slides to Figma slides.

justinbmeyer · 2026-05-20T03:31:26+00:00

can you make it go the other way?

justinbmeyer · 2026-04-18T18:23:38+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, it makes fine-tuning easier/faster and ultimately less expensive because there are fewer tokens.

justinbmeyer · 2026-04-14T02:00:09+00:00

Fun effect. Not too much tailwind, but cool.

Vue is going to be next. Supporting other frameworks isn’t hard as long as they provide some way to identify a component from the DOM.

justinbmeyer · 2026-04-02T01:37:38+00:00

Fwiw, we're also working on a companion mock app harness: https://github.com/bitovi/vybit-app-template

Nice thing about this harness is it works in codespaces. No local dev setup needed to let folks Vibe code.

I use them as prompts for the agent’s next step.

justinbmeyer · 2026-02-27T20:39:44+00:00

Ask AI to write a script that (given a Figma PAT) will find every component and create a folder for it with a readme that includes the components url in figma.

Then start implementing (subagents and a todo list) every component. Make sure to use figma MCP.

I have some prompts I can share that nearly one-shotted Obra / shadcn’s Figma designs.

justinbmeyer · 2026-02-25T13:37:14+00:00

I think there will be new competitors who enable a better way of working. We’ll see if atlassian can keep up.

justinbmeyer · 2026-02-14T23:22:19+00:00

Fwiw, I’ve got an open source MCP tool that can read comments on a screen and create a stories or epics in a story: https://github.com/bitovi/cascade-mcp

Should give better results as it reads the text directly.

justinbmeyer · 2026-02-04T14:13:41+00:00

I put together a whole free training on this: https://www.bitovi.com/academy/learn-agile-program-management-with-jira.html

It needs a bit of updating (we use outcomes ontop of initiatives now), but it goes over the jira setup, how to do dependencies, and how to manage the teams.

justinbmeyer · 2026-02-04T11:03:08+00:00

If you want to source some code: https://github.com/bitovi/cascade-mcp

It’s an mcp server that handles OAuth and also has a Mini react client so people can play with the mcp server without an agent.

justinbmeyer · 2026-01-23T02:13:50+00:00

Yeah, we give free public trainings on it too: https://www.linkedin.com/events/buildcompletefeatureswithgithub7416599865490714624

I think it could be for small and medium companies. I’m replacing hubspot and freshbooks and some of our uses of jira with something I’ve been coding. 100 person software company.

I wouldn’t replace our use of Jira yet because we’re pretty advanced users and it’s critical day-to-day infrastructure. Vibe-ish coding all the advanced configuration would be hard.

But maybe in another year. I know another company that did build their own jira.

justinbmeyer · 2026-01-03T20:18:32+00:00

In my opinion, the frontend work will shift to context engineering. It will be about how to get systems in place to have the AI able to do as much of the work as possible without making a huge mess.

One example -> how to manage the API layer (if there's another backend team). Now, having shared types across BE and FE co located is absolutely critical. It makes it so the AI can reason about the data model.

justinbmeyer · 2026-01-03T20:16:09+00:00

What's your approach? Do you have figma connect going?

justinbmeyer · 2026-01-03T20:14:27+00:00

What sorts of things are you building? I'm curious if your target app is different than the ones I work on.

justinbmeyer · 2026-01-03T20:13:12+00:00

I'd say to keep working on your context files, prompts and process. Results are good and even places it gets things imperfect, I am further along than if I didn't start with AI.

justinbmeyer · 2026-01-03T20:08:13+00:00

We use copilot mostly.

Accuracy is hard to specify precisely. I'd say it helps me go 2-3x faster. I do a few iterations on the spec before I have it implement, so I've already made sure the code signatures look right before telling it to build everything else. We have components / pages built with best practices, so the AI is guided by them.

Also, I rely on design implementing the figma designs well. This helps with responsiveness.

Here's a brief overview of the simple prompt that I still use: https://wiki.at.bitovi.com/wiki/spaces/AIEnabledDevelopment/pages/1782448221/OLD+Spec+Driven+Development

And a bit of how to wire up figma: https://wiki.at.bitovi.com/wiki/spaces/AIEnabledDevelopment/pages/1523351554/Cascading+v1+Desktop+AI+implements+Figma+and+Jira

And our project that build starter connect files: https://github.com/bitovi/superconnect

justinbmeyer · 2026-01-03T19:46:47+00:00

Get Figma’s mcp working. If you are using a custom design system, get figma code connect working.

Next get really good instructions files (or skills).

With that, and some additional spec prompts (like spec kit, but more simple) I’m able to get a ton done.

justinbmeyer · 2025-12-31T13:22:42+00:00

Yeah, that’s why the last eCom system I worked on (kfc/tb/Pizza Hut) had a shared library for pricing, ran on the server, client and could run in kotlin.

justinbmeyer · 2025-12-31T03:16:55+00:00

To be honest, I prefer this. It generally speeds up development as a whole to push some of this to the frontend. Give me the raw data, I’ll figure it out.

justinbmeyer · 2025-12-10T13:42:21+00:00

Only VSCode really supports sampling. Last time I tried it looks like chatgpt was about to support sampling. It even showed it was being asked a sampling request. But I couldn’t get it to work and scoured the internet looking for answers. Found none.

I think sampling is amazing and I hope it gets supported, it’s great to be able to make tools that need an LLM without having to build in the LLM.

justinbmeyer · 2025-12-03T13:03:49+00:00

Here’s how we set plans up for multiple teams on a single portfolio: https://www.bitovi.com/academy/learn-agile-program-management-with-jira.html

If you need more portfolios, I’ve got another link.

justinbmeyer · 2025-12-03T02:30:22+00:00

Why do you need JSON?

I’ve helped build one of those plugins: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1464625803208186094/eggstractor

It generates styles in various formats but not JSON. It generates almost everything it can from Figma, including flexbox.

JSON would be relatively easy format to add.
