Also, engineering teams at large corps are typically not just sitting around vomiting out front-end code. Sure, that work does take some time... but the bulk of the job is making sure we're building the right tools for the business, that they keep running and providing value, and get updates as the business evolves. The number of hours spent to build an initial UI is not actually the bulk of the effort over the lifetime of an app.
There are many code generators for web application development.
> This seems like it would be revolutionary for large companies that could significantly decrease their engineering teams.
Insofar as it works to increase the value of each hour of engineering time, this should increase the quantity of engineering time it make sense to purchase with any given targeted return, presuming there isn't some other constraint limiting useful engineering work.
Gives you a full stack React app with UI, auth, db, payments, etc. Can be customized in the tool prior to export.
Would love to hear if this is what you’re looking for or if you had something different in mind.
On the other hand there might be some scenarios where such generators would be nice to have
Note, they do exist in some form depending on what you want.
I think there are some plugins for sketch / figma that will output React?
The hard part for design tool to prod code is understanding the data model and knowing how to call an API. I think you want to go a different way, from data model to all the other things, then touch up / add custom code.
