https://plasmic.app is a web design tool that was designed to export to React continuously, and it imports from Figma. Would that help? (I work on this)

Hello! I work on Plasmic. Thanks for the feedback (and thanks mosr for the shout-out!). Webflow is a great platform, glad you're on it - we're fighting the same fight. Just wanted to share that our main use case actually has been

Plasmic's user base is in fact split about 50/50 designers/developers. And "visual CMS" exactly describes our most common use case—letting non-developers publish changes. 1. Developers can use it as a UI builder, re

Thanks for the kind words, that's great to hear! We are in a very fortunate position financially (multiple years of runway), and I am YZ. :) We also have companies big and small relying on Plasmic in production. Lastly, you fully own t

This is organizational content ownership - we'll reword this to be more clear. This is to ensure that files can be managed by the organization even as users belonging to the organization are deprovisioned.

Framer is an awesome prototyping tool (I use it), but I would've wanted to know up-front that "export to React" comes with two huge caveats: - There's nothing stopping you from using it in production, but it isn't d

Plasmic ( https://www.plasmic.app ) enables this workflow—you can visually edit the design while editing behavioral code side-by-side—but with a different approach than what you described, since we want to include non-developers.

Great catch, thank you!

Kudos to the author for making this, these are not easy to build! I noticed this doesn't yet support a number of things in Figma: autolayout, SVG shapes, masking, blend modes, transforms, filter effects, etc. There are also numerous ot

I work on https://plasmic.app . You can emit code into your codebase or fetch over an API, and it supports static site frameworks like Next and Gatsby. We are very focused on your use case, so would love to hear if this works for

These are great questions! The topics deserve attention from the docs, esp. regarding suggested ways of doing things (e.g. the `shown` example from earlier vs. imperatively adding/removing elements).

Think of cells (including binds) as just containers: when you call .get() (inside or outside a bind), you just get the currently stored value. Besides the container abstraction for its own sake, values also enable the scoping effect describ

Hi Peter - React is great! To those of you who haven't already, go check it out. It shares a lot of similarities with reactive.coffee (besides our highly original names), including the "code-first" approach to building up vie

A bind only re-evaluates if changes happen within its own immediate scope, and not if the changes are within any descendant binds' scopes. Whenever you want to carve off finer-granularity updates, scope things to a separate bind. Thi

Yes! There's already a lag-delay primitive, but it's a one-off hack we needed to get things working - more general asynchronous propagation is definitely a requirement.

Good question - the reason why we built the library this way was exactly because we find declaring expressions to be more natural than wiring together streams by combinators—which, BTW, Flapjax does support. Far from academic-without-impact

Yeah, this is what I'm talking about - a fuller explanation would require more text. :) The question is what you're doing with z. As long as you're also adding and removing your hypothetical panels in turn with bind, you&#x27

Astute observation - this is actually something we do call out in http://yang.github.io/reactive-coffee/infelicities.html#garb... . As you note, JS doesn't have it as easy as in other platforms, but it's not a

That would require a new language/syntax layer, which we wanted to avoid. (There's also something to be mentioned for being explicit and reducing "magic," which was part of what drove us to create this library in the fi

Thanks for the heads-up. Just pushed a fix for a pair of double-superscript errors. I can then build under Ubuntu 12.04. Hope this works for you.
