Read the full description
Figma’s code layers put working code on the design canvas, next to the designs. Create one from a frame, a GitHub repo, a webpage via Chrome extension, or by asking the Figma agent. Compare options side by side, and turn a code layer’s states back into editable layers. Figma Specs add design and technical requirements on the canvas, and Payload connects data to Make. Public beta.

Partial Placing live code previews on a design canvas with side-by-side comparison is buildable as UI, but the canvas, sandboxed execution, and design-to-code sync require very large engineering effort.
What it would actually take: This needs a canvas renderer (WebGL or a custom engine), sandboxed iframe or WebContainer execution for live code, and bidirectional sync between code and design layers. Realistic support requires a team of frontend, graphics, and sandboxing engineers working over a long period, not a single vibe-coded build.
