That's awesome! We might be interested in doing something together with a react conference— how do we get in touch? Can you shoot me an email?

It's best for developers working together with designers. If you're a solo designer, you don't need to push an app to production (or I'd consider you a developer), so you're probably perfectly happy staying in Sket

Thanks! We'll always be free for students and for making projects that are open source, and we'll have a subscription plan for teams at companies.

Sign up and tell your friends about it! We'll email you product updates :) We haven't thought too far beyond HN + word of mouth. How would you do distribution?

- until recently, there wasn't a universal cross-browser API for pinch zoom support. Not sure if that's still the case. - we do a lot of work with the selection/focus browser API, which doesn't always work the same &#x2

You can draw components and re-use them in Pagedraw today! It's what Pagedraw's all about (despite the name :P) https://documentation.pagedraw.io/components/ and https://pagedraw.io/tutorial

For sure, thanks for pointing this out. We have https://documentation.pagedraw.io/why-not/ , but we're trying to be clearer about how exactly our layout system works with https://documentation.pagedraw.

Definitely! I'm glad to see this is on other people's minds :) We're huge on backwards compatibility (and think everyone should be), which is why we don't want to expose something we haven't stabilized yet. We&#x2

We had a good conversation about this before down at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16468276 . tl;dr: would you like the Electron app instead? It's available at https://documentation.pagedraw.io/el

Hah! I didn't even know we had Terminator quotes in there. Our adorable little Pagedog's inspired by a different... uh... buuuurp.. uh, high concept, sci-fi comedy universe ;) Did you get to https://pagedraw.io/tu

Yes! I completely agree. Thanks for posting this, it needs to be brought up in any conversation about code-free tools. Pagedraw is not a code free tool. It never will be. I don't think it's possible either. Programming needs t

Actually, yes! All the parts of our site which are made in Pagedraw are fully cross-browser supported. That includes our landing page, dashboard, and parts of our editor. Based on the feedback in this thread we're going to bump up th

Hey sorry about that! Could an Electron app work for you instead? We have some betas at https://documentation.pagedraw.io/electron/

You can keep working on your Sketch file after importing it into Pagedraw. Subsequent uploads will merge your changes in Sketch with your edits in Pagedraw. We're pretty proud of the mechanism (it fell out almost for free from our live

You never have to write CSS for a Pagedraw generated component. If you must use custom css, you can mark a block in Pagedraw as a handwritten component coming from a designated file. In that component (done entirely by hand, outside Paged

Pagedraw doesn't impose any organizational requirements on your Sketch files! You're right that requiring certain structures is bad UX; we agree and care deeply about following that principle. The incorrect file formatting error

This was tough for us, because we're big believers in the standards-based web. We 100% promise that all the code we generate works across all browsers. Unfortunately, while most of the editor works in all browsers, getting full suppor

We're working on simplifying the common case usage for props, but they are complicated right now because we're going for giving you the full flexibility of React. What that means for us is that props have 2 parts: their definitio

We haven't launched the Figma integration yet, (it's behind a config flag,) but it's coming soon! Sketch should be working today. Could you email us at team@pagedraw.io if it's not?

It's there! The main demo link goes to a simplified version of Pagedraw for the walkthrough, but if you sign in and use the full version from https://documentation.pagedraw.io/install/ , you can choose between JSX

We already have a basic form of machine checked-proofs in everyday code: type systems. Type systems encode and prove simple theorems like "f(x: int) -> int returns an int, if x is an int". Typescript and Mypy show us that the

Is anyone else concerned that this means IT can choose to hold back the version of Chrome in their organizations? Auto-updating Chrome has been low key one of the best solutions to the pain of backwards compatibility with older browsers.
