About:
Alva is an open-source design tool for creating interactive prototypes using live code components. It enables designers and developers to collaborate by integrating design systems directly into the prototyping workflow, bridging the gap between design and development.
Key Features:
  • Live code component integration
  • Interactive prototyping with real components
  • Design system synchronization
  • Cross-platform desktop application
  • Open-source and extensible
Use Cases:
  • Designing and prototyping with live React components
  • Collaborating between design and development teams on design systems
  • Creating interactive UI prototypes for web applications
Alternatives:
  • Figma – Figma is a cloud-based design tool with prototyping, but Alva focuses on live code components and local design systems.
  • Adobe XD – Adobe XD is a vector-based design and prototyping tool, while Alva integrates directly with code components for more technical workflows.
