Keynote: Low-Code Capabilities of Digital Product Design Platforms
summary
Argues that a shared design system is the essential foundation, then compares concrete tools: Figma (extensible plugins and code-snippet exports), Sketch (Mac-first with export/inspect), Adobe XD (inspect and libraries) and Indigo Design (prototyping plus a WYSIWYG app builder that emits Angular/Blazor, syncs to GitHub and runs remote user tests). Cites analyst research of roughly 50–90% cost/time savings when design-to-code handoff is solved and notes bugs found in prototyping cost an order of magnitude less than post‑release fixes, so prioritize prototypes, user testing and reliable code generation.
