Ever spent hours manually copying design elements from websites, wishing there was a faster way? Itβs a common struggle for designers and developers who just want to get the job done without all the tedious effort. The process of sifting through HTML, replicating styles, and tweaking them to fit your needs can turn a simple task into a drawn-out process that stifles creativity.
Thatβs where HTML to React comes in. This browser extension is designed to make your workflow more efficient by allowing you to take HTML elements from any website and instantly convert them into React components. Itβs not just about copyingβitβs about capturing inspiration and seamlessly integrating it into your project. You can even export these components to Figma, making it easier to bridge the gap between design and development.
Using it is straightforward: enable the extension, select the part of the page you want, and youβll get React code ready to use in your project. If you need to customize the component, the Magic Patterns editor offers simple tools for refining the elements to suit your exact needs.
Browser extensions that make designer and developerβs lives easier are becoming a popular niche category on Product Hunt. Just yesterday, I covered Button Stealer, an extension that lets you steal buttons from around the web and store them in a dedicated profile for inspiration.
So, if youβre looking for a tool that turns web browsing into a treasure hunt for design ideasβor just want to simplify your processβHTML to React might be what you need. After all, who says inspiration has to be hard to capture?
