God bless our amazing Slack community.<\/strong> If you knew how many of the things, discussed there, have found their way into our apps, you would probably be very surprised. Two of the biggest additions to Sketch2React this year has come after feedback. First we released our much beloved<\/strong> Capacitor.js<\/a> export feature thanks to feedback, and now we have introduced support for the brand-new Lunacy<\/a> for macOS.<\/p>\r\n

I honestly didn\u2019t know about Lunacy until someone in our community talked about it, a couple of months ago. Of course, I was intrigued, here we have a free app, back then only for Windows, that reads and writes .sketch files. Mind blown.<\/p>\r\n

Furthermore, it\u2019s made by Icons8<\/a> and anyone of you that have downloaded demos from us know we use their remarkable free illustrations frequently.<\/p>\r\n

Lunacy vs Sketch<\/h2>\r\n

Just because Lunacy reads and writes in the amazing .sketch format it\u2019s a fundamentally different app, it\u2019s not a clone. Super important to understand this.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

For me, it\u2019s more like a nice combo of both Sketch and Figma with incredible features for collaboration, using cloud documents etc. It also has things that the other ones haven\u2019t, like a huge free library of icons, illustrations and stock photography. Plus many more things, you should really give it a try.<\/p>\r\n

That being said, until now, Sketch2React has been made solely with Sketch in mind, so if you\u2019re looking for the best experience going from design file to code with Sketch2React the choice is obvious. Sketch is still the King of the Hill regarding Sketch2React.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

We’ve updated Sketch2React 2021 Beta to work better with latest Lunacy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

Let\u2019s test this!<\/h2>\r\n

Now that I\u2019ve given you a bit of well-needed perspective, let\u2019s get on with the fun stuff.<\/p>\r\n

I\u2019ve done extensive testing<\/strong> the last couple of months and here are my findings. Most tests have been done with the current stable version of Sketch2React. Lately, I have also begun trying this out with the latest version of our free beta<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

What works really well<\/h3>\r\n
