Show HN: Symbols > We are building Figma for developers

5 points by joshsymbols 2y ago

What is Symbols? “The ultimate platform for developers & teams to build, test and document fully functional & reusable UI libraries on a canvas. Publish as a website or export to your existing tech stack with open-source development” Lifetime offers: We are currently running $100 one off offers for the first 100 users, which includes unlimited projects or users for 1 project. Eventually charging $49 per month per user/project, as design system platforms charge a similar amount. So grab a deal! Landing: Here is a quick landing put together, with a better one in the works :) https://symbols-landing.framer.website/ https://symbols-landing.framer.website/ Any questions let me know!

I am interesting in trying this, but I find your entire sign up process/schtick incredibly obnoxious. I would literally rather pay to try this than refer this to anyone (esp since I haven't tried it); I hate the assumption that anyone looking at your landing page has a Twitter account; and I find it opaque.

Your landing page is full of lies like fake customers, this screams amateurism

  How'd you determine this? I've always been curious.

    well this one is quite easy, he doesn't even have a domain (using framer). I'm sure Asana or Hotjar aren't his customers. Also in the post "Lifetime offers: We are currently running $100 one off offers for the first 100 users" And in the website: "300+ customers! We are amazing!"

      Ah, interesting - thanks for explaining!

  Thanks for the feedback. These are minor adjustments to make to the final landing, as some stuff was due to be replaced. Not a big deal. I will highlight those testimonial reactions to seeing the platform in action are real. Do you have any further feedback? I’m thinking of a more clean/white space landing with much less text and more graphics to enforce key points. Kinda like Figma/creative tools.
