Hey ProductHunt! I’m excited to announce the latest Webflow Labs launch: DevLink https://webflow.com/devlink! DevLink allows you to build components in Webflow for use in React projects — design and development teams can quickly ship pixel perfect designs and simplify the way they collaborate. Creating ready-to-use, high-fidelity React components in Webflow’s best-of-breed designer can help teams in a lot of ways: - Launch web apps and products faster by skipping the entire process of coding UI elements - Connect Marketing and Product by providing a method for owners of the core app to repurpose work done on the marketing site - For agencies and freelancers, expand the services you offer clients by giving them entire design systems with code counterparts. To use DevLink, there’s just a few basic steps: 1. Design and build UI components in Webflow using our visual development Designer 2. Connect Webflow with your local React project 3. Import ready-to-use React components complete with props, slots, and interactions Best of all, anyone on any plan can start to use DevLink for free during our beta! Used alongside our [Figma-to-Webflow plugin](https://www.producthunt.com/prod...), we imagine our users will be able to design almost straight through to production. We're launching DevLink in beta and we’re keen to see what folks would most like to see next. We have lots of enhancements planned, such as Storybook, supporting more frameworks other than React (Svelte, Vue, etc), and more! You’ll need a Webflow account, so make sure to sign up for a free Webflow account if you don’t have one already. https://webflow.com/devlink Let us know what you think! Webflow Labs is a new innovation lab at Webflow I'm heading up. You can read more about it here: https://webflow.com/blog/announc...

I'm sure this is cool and it's great to see Webflow opening up more doors with its product, but the core Webflow platform has so many issues and open feature requests that I can't help but be disappointed when I see things like this come out from the Webflow team. Why is precious development time being spent on things that very few (if any) people are asking for and not fixing the more pressing issues that are plaguing your main product? Your pricing is confusing, user permissions/editability are ridiculously lacking, eCommerce is useless, Webflow forms are barely passable, and there are SO many little missing features that should be a no-brainer to include, but for some reason Webflow hasn't added in yet (media library for clients, on-page filtering/sorting, reordering collection items, etc). The actual Webflow builder is bar-none the absolute best way to create marketing sites available today. Believe me, I love you guys. You have an amazing product. But you're all over the place when it comes to your policies and business decisions, and it's hard to continue to have confidence in your product when I don't see any major improvement on these fundamental items that have been left broken for years. Any thoughts?

@adam_hayman I personally disagree, Webflow has allowed me to understand HTML & CSS to build marketing websites. Now with this feature as I am learning React, I am able to leverage my Webflow skills to style components faster than other React devs. Huge opportunity for Webflow freelancers to find gigs in web-app development and not only marketing websites.

@marvinkr You're right - it's probably not fair for me to say that very few (if any) people are asking for this. I don't know what sort of user feedback Webflow is getting, so I'm sure they built this after a lot of thought and research. But my points about the broken-ness of their core product are still valid and I do think it'd be a better use of their time to fix and expand on that rather than venture into new territory, which is what they're doing here.

Hey @adam_hayman appreciate the sentiment. We have launched over 28 enhancements and features since the beginning of the year and a huge list of enhancements coming as well. Lots of the feedback has been addressed in https://webflow.com/community/we... actually so we may have had some of your points covered already. In addition we have a slew of yet-to-be-announced - but HUGE things coming 🤗. Many of them will address the gaps around ecomm, etc you have pointed out. As for DevLink, it comprises 2% of our overall R&D headcount — this is a small but big unlock for many in the WF ecosystem, especially those that build products.

Congratulation ! Very happy to see the evolution of the tool I use every day. New perspectives are expected for our customers, this is very good news.
Federico Fiorini
@alexandre_teillet1 absolutely! We believe DevLink can unlock a lot of new use cases and we're eager to hear from the community what they'd like to see next!
