Modulz - The next step in visual coding

@katrynvonfelsen Thanks so much Ktryn! I really hope you're right :)

@colmtuite - I Love figma, but I'm not ok with being online only, - Sketch is fucking slow on new features… - XD is……… Adobe… - Studio is… Invision… - Framer is too complex (even if powerful) Please be like Sketch but better haha

@katrynvonfelsen We're kiiiiiiinda like Sketch. It looks and feels like Sketch. But all components in Modulz are interactive, no static vectors. Modulz is a web app too, like Figma. It's a progressive web-app, so we'll have some offline capabilities. But full offline-mode will be later next year. Have you tried Webflow? Modulz is probably closest to Webflow. Except it has design systems baked in, it's component-driven and exports React components.

Online is the thing I misread by mistake 😅. This is the actual reason I choosed Sketch over Figma at my job sadlyt… I'm still interested into trying it! Webflow is such an amazing CMS & Design tool… I even considered about using it for our startup at one point because it is damn complete

@katrynvonfelsen @colmtuite you just sold your product, purchasing now.

@colmtuite How is it priced ?

@shreyaa_ratra We haven't decided on pricing plans yet. That will come early next year probably. We're on Kickstarter right now though, for $99 you can grab lifetime access with free updates forever 😉 https://www.kickstarter.com/proj...

@anna_0x That is the best description of Modulz I've ever seen 😄 Yes! It's like Webflow with design systems baked in, an abstracted component editor and React export.

@colmtuite OMG I'm so hyped 😍 I'm still figuring out Webflow and web development, but once I do, I'd love to get started with React development and boy does this seem perfect!

@colmtuite Damn, now I'm actually a bit conflicted. Buy on Kickstarter now and secure a good price forever or wait because I may not even use this for the next two years?? 😫

@anna_0x at that price it’s a good investment and maybe spending the money will get you thinking about using it sooner?

@cat_hicks perhaps :P But I'm just so busy learning other things, I know I'll be for at least a year

@katrynvonfelsen @blakefosdick Thanks Blake! Yes absolutely, I think live data, or at least realistic data is an essential part of UI design. Modulz won't ship with live data integration, but we definitely plan to look into it later next year. We would love to maybe leverage GraphQL for data. The dream would be to allow teams to pull data from their own data sources. But we would also love a set of simulated data, so people can design with realistic data without hooking up a data source. Stay tuned!

@blakefosdick I can't believe it as well 8o

@katrynvonfelsen @blakefosdick @colmtuite if you could tie in real data and create targets and actions and triggers that would be amazing... it’d be like building a flash app back in the day. Hope you guys reach that point because it would be a huge breakthrough!

@angelosarnis Thanks for all your support Angelos, you've been a huge help so far!

@rawr_jays Thanks RJ! That's actually a great summary of one of our main goals. We want to give designers more control over their output by bringing it closer to production, without sacrificing creativity. Can't wait to get you playing with it!

How far along is development?

@alexjpanagis Thanks Alex! We're still in prototype phase. We're live on Kickstarter now, offering beta seats. We're planning to launch an alpha in December and a beta in February.

@colmtuite Awesome! Thanks for your response - best of luck with the development and launch 😄

@lorikarikari Thanks Lori! We're starting with React DOM, so we're just supporting the web for now. Hopefully, later next year, we can starting looking at other platforms.
