Do you think it's really worth it to have a menu that's so "beautiful" it's difficult to implement without more tooling? Does it enhance accessibility? Elucida

  I'm actually advocating exactly the opposite of "beautiful menus" that are hard to implement. The current state of tools doesn't allow designers to think in terms of actual UI components and navigation structures. Instead, they are forced to draw pictures and make animated slideshows. This leads designers down a path of tweaking aesthetics because that's what their tools are designed for. (In this regard, newer apps like Sketch and Principle are not fundamentally different from Illustrator or After Effects.) We should have tools that allow designers to think in terms of higher-level UX components with the confidence that the designs can always translate into code. I worked on two products that came from this school of thinking, Neonto's Native Studio [1] and React Studio [2] (they're both variations of the same codebase really). I know someone will bridge this gap eventually... [1] https://neonto.com/nativestudio https://neonto.com/nativestudio [2] https://reactstudio.com https://reactstudio.com
