I only played with it for 5 minutes yet, but it is so much fun already. Congratulations! I am already looking forward to the next iterations and features.
Are there any libraries out there to transpile Framer code to JS or Swift? Or is this JUST for the design of interaction and not feasible for bootstrapping development? Understandable if not feasible.
@srhyne No, they focused on making the syntax readable and easily tweakable for quick iteration in the design / idea phase, but that unfortunately means it's not necessarily anything like production ready code.
Hey everyone, today we're introducing Framer Design. Start your projects directly in Framer, using a graphics tools built specifically for interaction work. It has all the familiar features you know and love, but with some special additions. Auto-layout, smart positioning and device-specific artboards.
It's the last piece of the puzzle in our mission to help you design things that feel real. Give it a go and let us know what you think! - framer.com/features
@koenbok Congrats on launch! As a big UTAH fan, I also want to give you props for using "SFSG" as the background track for your promo video. Great tune.
Hell yeah this is huge, congratz to everyone on the release! 👏 Was bummed at first you can't use the new shiny stuff on old projects but there seems to be a manual way to migrate https://github.com/koenbok/Frame...
At first I thought this was a way to bring in designs from other tools and be able to manipulate them in the design tab, e.g. Figma and Sketch. Looks like you have to start from scratch... Hmmm. It'll be hard to compete feature for feature with the design-only tools out there. Looking forward to seeing where this takes Framer.
But that automatic constraints tool looks 🔥 . Some new level wizardry going on to make that happen.
@jesse_wallace Yes. They've had that for quite some time. I was expecting that export to then bring those designs into the design tab, as I said in my original comment. It does not. It adds them just as before.
Loving a first try at this product - while the code/animation portion is great, the design portion is still behind Sketch. Advice I'd offer: Copy the features, + UX (and UI) of Sketch to decrease learning curve
@erickbarron86 cloud subs are valuable to most because it includes ongoing updates to the product without a high upfront cost and the flexibility of your own solution can be met by integrations with other tools.
