I’m facing a challenge that I believe many of us encounter in complex SaaS projects, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and solutions.
The Challenge
I’m working on large-scale SaaS prototypes in Figma, and I’ve noticed a recurring issue: whenever I add new modules or features to a stable, functioning prototype, it often breaks core functionality. This creates a frustrating cycle of fixes and introduces unexpected behavior in previously stable areas.
Questions for the Community
How do you structure your prototypes to make them more modular and resistant to breaking when adding new features?
What are your best practices for testing new additions before integrating them into the main prototype?
Do you maintain separate prototype versions for different feature sets?
How do you handle version control in complex prototypes?
What I’ve Tried So Far
Creating backup copies before adding new features
Would love to hear your experiences and solutions! Has anyone found effective ways to maintain prototype stability while continuously iterating and adding features?
Thank you for your feedback! I’ve shared it with the v0 team.
We’ve had several community streams with customers and users who have shared some great tips, I’ll cross-post them here in case they’re helpful resources.
From my experience, it’s always good to fork often especially when you’ve perfected a component or state of your project. From this state, I then move over the code to my local development environment (by downloading the code from ZIP) and iterate from there.
The team are working on a git integration (see discussion) which should make this easier so keep an eye out for that!
