From Figma to Code — The Hardest Decision We Didn’t Expect

After finalizing our full design in Figma, we were ready to build.
Or at least… we thought we were.

But the real challenge started the moment we asked:

“How should we actually develop this?”

🧩 Different ideas, same goal
As a small team of three, we each came with different backgrounds and preferences:

• One of us wanted to keep things simple and use what we already knew

• Another pushed for modern tools with more flexibility

• The third just wanted something clean and scalable long-term

So we talked. A lot.

🤝 What we realized
This phase wasn’t just about choosing between React or PHP.
It was about teamwork, compromise, and long-term thinking.

We weren’t just coding a project —
we were building something we believed in. And that meant choosing a tech stack that matched both our skills and our vision.

✅ The outcome?
We chose the stack that made sense for us — one that challenges us to grow, but still feels manageable as a student team.

And honestly?
That moment of clarity felt like a win.

In our next post, we’ll share how we started turning screens into real features — and what surprised us along the way.

Thanks for following the journey ✨
