Apart from the increase in pricing everything else is a go :D

@h_halvi ...just imagine all the time you will save :D

@h_halvi $129 seems pretty reasonable for it's functionality. Akin to a Sketch license.

@h_halvi Agree. For a professional designer who use it on a daily basis it's a no-brainer. But for me to pay $129 for a year of using it hmm I'm not sure. Though I don't mind to pay $129 and wait for a new major version. I can't explain why :)

Love this execution: through code, properties dialogue and visual display you get to build a better understanding of the relationship between what you see and how it's built: using whatever method you're most comfortable with. More than teaching designers to code, or developers to design, it gets to act as a translator between the two.

I would love to see a new wave of UI Kits that include a Framer.js "Kit".

Good tool. But not really sure if the code on the side helps. What's the main goal for Framer - Letting users make prototypes?

Is this what storyboards are supposed to be in Xcode?
Octoberspring
@tomfme I think so, but it is much friendlier than Xcode. The better these tools become, the smaller the gap between prototyping and development. Neonto is one to watch as well https://www.producthunt.com/tech...

@armi2n @tomfme xCode has a steeper learning curve imo. I've been using framer for a while, this new update makes me super happy.

Looks great. I think prototyping tools like Framer is a great way to encourage designers to learn to code.
Andrew Liebchen
@jonathanzwhite At the very least, it helps designers think in the concepts of code.
Steven Rueter
I think tools like this are great for allowing people to visualize how interface code is written/bridge the gap between designer and developer. Designers absolutely need to know how to write frontend/interface code--should be a job requirement, as it often is 🐔

So if I don't really know Javascript, could I use this tool now? I'm always learning js little by little though 😁

@reot004 You'd have to look into coffeescript as well. Their docs seem to be quite extensive for beginners to jump into it.

Love this product! Great idea!

Great product!

This is pure bliss. Love this product.

I agree that the price increase is a bit much, but this new version is amazingly powerful. One of the designers I work with started playing with it last night and didn't stop until the wee hours. Then he was at it all day again. Our workflow will be so much smoother now that he will be able to prototype transitions / animations in code. Not to mention the integration with Sketch.

Please please please port it to windows (insert crying gif here)
