Hey DN — Excited to announce that Haiku now supports Figma!
We've integrated Figma's brand spanking new Web API, so you can design in Figma and sync your projects to Haiku. In Haiku, you can then add motion, add interactivity and publish your work as production-ready UI components for iOS, Android and the web.
Best of all, Haiku never breaks its connection with your Figma project, so you can continue to iterate on designs even after integrating, rather than being stuck in hand off hell any time you want to continue working on your designs.
Let us know what you think! We're on hand here, on our community Slack, and also available via chat in the Haiku for Mac app.
Thanks Mattan! We may take you up on that offer later. ;)
Been great having you onboard since our private beta last year!
(I'm on the Haiku team) — yes, it can be used with frameworks, everything created in it is just pure JavaScript.
We'll add more wrappers but so far we've only shipped React for the web while in beta, and native iOS/Android renderers powered by Lottie.
Thanks Darren. We're similarly opinionated about existing tools. ;) Here's to hoping Haiku can help improve your workflow.
Created an account just for us? We're honoured.
Haiku being a standalone app is crucial to more features we're releasing both near and far. Stay tuned!
Thanks for the kind words. We feel pretty passionately that open standards beat closed black boxes— expect some more news on that front in future too.
P.S. Found you on our waitlist— check your inbox!
Looks great! If you remove "/us" from the hyperlink it'll forward to the users country automatically, based on their Apple ID:

I've always experienced increases in conversions & downloads whenever I do this.

On pricing— while we don't have concrete details we'd prefer to not broadcast any information we know would change.
What I can say though, is that our approach is to prioritise charging teams over individual users, and it's very important to us internally to get this right.
In case you weren't aware, all of your project and code lives locally, and we open sourced our runtime/'engine' Haiku Core so you'll always have access to and be able to use your projects anyway. They're yours!
