Curious how people here are approaching UI system workflows lately.

I’m designing a few new product/app flows from scratch and have been questioning whether it makes sense to spend building everything manually in Figma before implementation.

Ideally I’d love something that provides:

• strong UI/design system foundations
• Figma assets
• Tailwind/React implementation
• a starter-style repo/setup
• enough flexibility to still feel custom

I’ve been looking at Flowbite (not affiliated in any way) because it seems relatively complete across both design + implementation.

But I’m struggling to tell whether tools like this actually hold up from a UX/design quality perspective long term, whether they’re worth the money, or whether there are better alternatives people prefer etc.

Curious what experienced designers/builders here are actually using/would recommend to design + build quality UI systems
