\u26a0\ufe0f\u261d\ufe0fWarning this headline is nothing but ?read-baite.<\/em> Why? Because reading is essential to understanding and developing and if I can get you reading my work is half-done. Now comes the other half, buckle up. ?<\/p>\n

\u261d\ufe0fNew Sketh2React publication<\/h3>\n

To better gather resources, articles, tutorials about Sketh2React<\/em> we have created a publication<\/a> dedicated to all those awesome thingies. So be sure to remember to F-O-L-L-O-W if you want to be updated the moment new things arrive.<\/p>\n

Back to learning. Let\u2019s be straight here, our framework\/plugin is not the easiest to grasp and learn. <\/strong>That is the point actually.<\/p>\n

Frak one-button-magic<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not one-button-magic.<\/strong> In an era where everything is easy we decide to go the other way. Why?<\/p>\n

Because what\u2019s the fun in building something that does all the work for\u00a0you?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No pain no gain\u00a0bro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No fun at all that\u00a0is.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

?It\u2019s not hard to learn either.<\/em><\/strong> If you compare to learning say Framer as a ? Sketcher<\/em> it\u2019s much much easier. You just need to study the structure & naming a bit. But we have several great resources for you. Everything from tutorials<\/a>, components<\/a> to a very handy cheat sheet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are proud master builders and craft makers<\/strong>. We love crafting, designing and making. We want you to feel the same way. And you will, I promise. <\/em>When you start learning something new that\u2019s hard you feel elevated. You feel like a million bucks. Right now I could probably Google what that phenomenon is called and impress you with a very difficult word. Frak that<\/em>. I\u2019m here to inform not impress.<\/p>\n

The future of handoff is no\u00a0handoff<\/h3>\n

The whole word \u201chandoff\u201d is not even accurate anymore. We live in ?ITERATION WORLD? where everything is never done and all things are in constant evolution. That is the nature of product design since most of us work with non-physical virtual products.<\/p>\n

So then it\u2019s only very natural that designers and developers work even closer together than before. That\u2019s what started Sketch2React<\/em> in the first place. You can read more about the beginnings here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Framer, Figma, InVision Studio, React Studio, Supernova Studio and many many others want to be a one-stop-shop-solution for design, handoff, documentation, code and whatnot.<\/p>\n

Designers learn more code, devs learn more\u00a0design<\/h3>\n

This is not utopia but a very natural progression of the whole professional landscape that we live and work in. What Sketch2React<\/em> does is that it forces designers to understand more about code right inside of Sketch. What you do as a designer is that you give your static non-code designs the super power of Bootstrap (grid+components) plus React (render engine).<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get one thing out of the way<\/strong> ? We are not out to build something that does everything. And we are not out to give developers less work. Designers \u2013 yes. Take away the tedious pain of handoffs, trying to explain how things should work. Just design and build all the interactions and how it\u2019s suppose to flow yourself. And send your dev the\u00a0.sketchfile\u200a\u2014\u200aboom ?<\/p>\n

Actually one scenario we see is developers getting more involved in the design process as more design tools are giving more and more advanced options for export and\/or integration.<\/p>\n

Contribute yourself<\/h3>\n

Back to the Sketch2React publication. What the hell is a publication without writers? Nothing. So if you come up with a neat trick or create a useful template or make a tutorial that has something to do with Sketch2React<\/em>\u200a\u2014\u200asend it to us<\/a>! It doesn\u2019t even need to be made here inside of Medium, we can just create a post with a link to your thing if we find it useful to others.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s finish of with a banging trailer, really happy with this one ???<\/p>\n
