I think the code criticisms are valid, as no-one wants to head down a pathway where they can only edit a site or try to fix bugs by revisiting the source design and republishing it. You will end up feeding the source into a LLM and pulling your hair out when it starts changing things that are not required.
If they don't get it right it, will be stuck in the budget category with squarespace where its sold to a client as a cheaper option if they don't want to pay for a full custom site, but that it will come with compromises.
I think they will probably get there though, given enough time. They are pulling ahead and and are probably already the industry standard for digital UI.
- Yes indeed - you know, I know, they def know they can't claim to be a design-to-html solution tool for designer devs if the code is branded rubbishprophetone
- I truly hope it gets sorted b/c could be a cool thing to have that as main tool to get a site rollingprophetone
- They are targeting Wix and Squarespace and that's all well and good but design-to-code for a dev is a stretch until it's done rightprophetone
- I think they probably released it now as just having this level of control over responsive prototypes is really useful.slappy
- I'm kind of surprised they didn't go headless with a react style front end and a figma hosted CMS back end. Would make more sense and be more futureproof?slappy

- sloppy, I'm totally okay with using the original source tool to edit a website vs relying on code later onmonospaced
- Cool, let us know how you get on. I'll be doing some testing too, I'll report back to the thread too.slappy
