What is Semantic HTML? Key Differences from HTML and Why It’s Important for Frontend Developers
Reading Time: 3 minutesSemantic HTML is a way of tagging some HTML tags to add more semantic meaning to the content, instead of simple "div" soup structure. This approach also makes websites easier to navigate, better for SEO, and simpler to maintain. In this article, we’ll cover what semantic HTML is, how it differs from regular HTML, and why it’s so important for frontend developers.
Transform any Figma design into high-quality MUI or AntD code with Anima
Reading Time: 3 minutesGenerate clean and functional code from any Figma file, no matter how it’s structured or which components it uses. Whether your design is well organized or a bit chaotic, if it uses standard components or none at all, Anima takes it all and translates it into high-quality MUI or Ant Design code.

Minimizing LLM latency in code generation
Reading Time: 2 minutesDiscover how Frontier optimizes front-end code generation with advanced LLM techniques. Explore our solutions for balancing speed and quality, handling code isolation, overcoming browser limitations, and implementing micro-caching for efficient performance.
Introducing Frontier’s New Feature: Code Injection
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis feature enhances your ability to seamlessly integrate generated code from Figma into your existing projects, saving time and reducing the need for manual copy-pasting.
Convert Figma to React & Tailwind Automatically in VSCode
Reading Time: 2 minutesFrontier seamlessly transforms Figma files into React code, perfectly integrating with your existing Tailwind configurations. Frontier meets you where you work, in VS Code.
Guard rails for LLMs
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe conclusion is that you cannot ignore hallucinations. They are an inherent part of LLMs and require dedicated code to overcome. In our case, we provide the user with a way to provide even more context to the LLM, in which case we explicitly ask it to be more creative in its responses. This is an opt-in solution for users and often generates better placeholder code for components based on existing usage patterns.
Pluggable design system – Figma to your design system code
Reading Time: 3 minutesWhen we created Frontier, we didn’t want to stick to just one coding design system. MUI, for example, is a very popular React Design System, but it’s one of <very> many design systems that are rising and falling. Ant Design is still extremely popular, as is the TailwindCSS library. We’re seeing the rapid rise of Radix based component libraries like ShadCN as are Chakra and NextUI.
Does Frontier support NextJS?
Reading Time: 2 minutesShort answer: Yes! Frontier will generate client components by default, when it detects NextJS. This is done by adding the ‘use-client’ statement at the beginning of the component declaration.
Generative code: how Frontier solves the LLM Security and Privacy issues
Reading Time: 3 minutesAI and LLM code generation typically suffer from Privacy and Security issues, particularly with Enterprise users. Frontier is a VSCode that generates code through LLMs, which uses local AI models in order to firewall the user's data and codebase from being exposed to the LLM. This unique approach isolates the codebase and ensures compliance and inter-developer cooperation without compromising the security of the code repo.
