As you said: both products have a similar goal but Plasmic and FlyCode's approaches are pretty different. Plasmic requires using their own libraries in the code for making it editable and focuses on editing content that is in CMSs such as Contentful. FlyCode requires no such integration. It reads the existing code and allows users to edit copy inside the code without any action required by the developer. This is the reasoning behind our claim for "3 minutes setup". For developers FlyCode is "transparent": it doesn't affect the code and can be removed at any time. Also, from their examples it seems like Plasmic focus on content / e-commerce use cases while FlyCode focuses on web-apps (e.g. B2B SaaS).

I work on Plasmic. I think we're quite different! I would summarize as:

- FlyCode focuses on text/image changes within your existing code.

- Plasmic lets you create and edit UIs using your React components as building blocks, but doesn't try to edit your existing code.

For making text/copy changes, there's also another product that uses your Figma designs as a source of truth:

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Yea sounds similar goal but different: (1) no integration with us (no API just Git connection) (2) we keep your code ownership - continue to edit from your code, no need to change your infra (3) we are not a CMS -> we connect and extract from the code directly so the capabilities are different

Last thing - git work flow. Your code -> you are approving the same way you work today
