FAQ about the App Prototype Builder
How do I turn a plain‑language idea into a clickable app prototype fast?
Describe your idea in plain language and Replit Agent generates an interactive, clickable prototype you can run immediately in the real-time preview. Iterate fast with a tight workflow: Agent builds, Assistant refines, and you adjust visuals in the Visual Editor. Start low-fidelity to validate flows, then evolve to high-fidelity as you polish copy, styles, and layout. These prototyping tools shorten the design process so you can test, tweak, and ship in minutes.
Can I import Figma wireframes and mockups to generate a working UI?
Yes—use Import from Figma to turn Figma design frames, wireframes, and mockups into functional React code. Replit translates figma design styles and layouts into reusable ui components you can extend like templates. You don’t need plugins to begin; just connect Figma and import the selected frames from your wireframing tool. After import, refine components with Assistant or the Visual Editor to match your system.
Is this a no-code app prototype builder, and what are the limits of drag-and-drop?
Replit isn’t strictly no code—it’s an AI-powered coding platform that minimizes the learning curve by generating and editing code for you. Drag-and-drop is limited to visual UI tweaks (text, images, styles) rather than full app functionality, backend, or state management. You’ll still work with code for complex widgets and logic, while AI streamlines the workflow and prototyping process. Integrations remain code-based but are quickly added by Agent from natural-language requests.
How do I collaborate with stakeholders and design teams in real-time and manage handoff?
Invite stakeholders, product managers, and design teams into the same workspace for real-time collaboration and live preview. Share a running link so reviewers can click through and provide feedback immediately. Use version control integration to track changes and support clean handoff between teams. For quick reviews, capture screenshots (PNG) or share the deployed URL.
How can I validate UX with user testing and refine transitions and animations?
Deploy or share a live URL for rapid user testing so people can experience real user flows in the browser. Iterate quickly as Assistant edits code to refine interaction design, transitions, and animations. Use the real-time preview to confirm changes before wider testing. Repeat the cycle until the UX meets your goals.
Can I prototype for web apps and mobile apps on iOS and Android?
Replit excels at web app prototyping, producing responsive UIs that look great on iOS and Android devices in the browser. You can tune the user interface, ui design, and fonts with the Visual Editor and Assistant, then test on phones and tablets. Replit Mobile lets you build and iterate from iOS or Android on the go. For native mobile app prototype work, you’ll still work with code and external tooling as needed.
How do integrations like auth, payments, or databases fit into my prototype?
Mention integrations in your prompt—Agent can wire up authentication (e.g., Replit Auth, Google OAuth), payments (e.g., Stripe), and databases automatically. It adds the glue code so the functionality works end to end, streamlining your prototyping process. Map flowcharts or user flows in your product design, then ask Agent to implement them directly. This keeps design tools and build steps aligned without manual setup.
How do I share prototypes for feedback, deploy quickly, and what about pricing?
Click to deploy in minutes and share a live URL with stakeholders for real-time feedback and user testing. Collaborate in the same workspace or distribute screenshots (PNG) for quick reviews. You can iterate and redeploy fast as changes land. For pricing details, visit Replit’s pricing page.
