Looks like you can self host with a docker container. That's very cool.

Can I import from figma?

No - there was some discussion on such a feature, but im/Export from/to such complex formats is very difficult and often impossible to get perfectly right.

  • That's unfortunate. I have one large file that contains everything for a particular project. I migrated from Sketch to Figma a couple years ago and did so using their import. It was not perfect, but was better than nothing. It took a few days to clean it up again, but was a good starting point for migration. As the file has years of work in it, starting over would be a significant amount of work.

  • I've always heard that "perfect is the enemy of good" and in my experience as long as the tool communicates "I did what I could, and didn't know what to do with the following elements" then clear communication can go a long way toward allowing users to make informed decisions
