Figma site is pretty good, but also have challenges.

There is no database and input field supported, so i can't get users sign up

Not a search engine friendly, i need more time to optimize content, maybe figma should offer more best practices.

oh one more thing, you can not customize domain as https://mydomain.com, only www.mydomain.com

The purpose of the Figma sites could initially be for advanced prototyping or testing different sets of components or design systems without using the prototyping tool. As more product managers and designers seek ultra-realistic experiences from the first design sprints, it becomes more relevant.

For a fully functional website, it needs to support features that most developers use: GIT for codebase and asset management, environment variables, database connection (choosing Supabase is the right choice), collaborative support (the core of Figma), and staging/production environments. Currently, other solutions work better, but for how long?

做为体验设计师，在不了解前端代码的情况下，采用自然语言生成前端页面，经常会遇到生成的页面和我提供的 figma设计稿完全不符的情况，在我测试了其他一些专业的AI工具之后，发现这是普遍的问题，目前来说，从设计稿到网站，AI 工具貌似还有很长的路要走
