PixelFree Studio sounds like a game changer for designers! Can you tell us more about the back-end technology used for the auto-generating feature? Also, are there any plans for integration with other design tools besides PixelFree and Figma?
@samalyx Thank you!
Sure, the code generation works via translation, we basically translate PixelFree Studio components to components of the desired target programming languages. This translation happens using a GCP cloud service.
We're planning on integrating Adobe XD, but as we aim to be community-driven, we will be happy to integrate the design tools most users wish for.
@caros @philippgeppert @pixeleonard and the team - big congrats on the killer launch! This product might not be built for me and a silly question maybe but.. what is PRO-code?
@caros @pixeleonard @dzaitzow Hello Daniel. This is not a silly question at all. There are 3 general ways of generating code for UI's.
No-Code: Means an environment in which you do not touch any code anymore. It is very easy to build things with it, but it is also very limited as you can not customize the code
Low-Code: Is an environment in which you have predefined elements, but you can still customize your code. Often this uses libraries or plugins which limit the ability to customize. Also any library or plugin might potentially break your frontend once it receives an update.
PRO-Code: Is plain code as a developer writes it. This is the highest customizable kind of code where you have no limitations.
Also not to forget it AI: The problem with AI is that the models are still based on probability (large language models are stochastic systems). This means that whenever you change a little thing on the input (the prompt), lets say the color of a button, may mean that the whole code output changes. This makes it very very hard for developers to control the code or understand what the AI is doing. This is why we generate deterministic code.
I hope this helps 🫡
@caros @pixeleonard @philippgeppert super helpful! Thanks a ton for the insightful response - hopefully it can be of value to the community/thread as well!
How is the back and forth update flow? When you start iterating on the figma file and the codebase starts to mature?
@sentry_co As of now, you have to reimport your project once you made changes to your figma project. But we do give you our proprietary design tool, so you can change everything you like directly in PixelFree Studio.
We also plan to add a git connection so you can merge changes you made in PixelFree Studio with the changes in your codebase.
@pixeleonard I guess pixel free is a great tool to create the initial architecture. And then you use GitHub copilot etc to iterate and grow the project. That would be my preferred workflow I think. Or are you thinking more in terms of competing with webflow?
@sentry_co Exactly, you can use it for the initial architecture and then manually or with the help of other tools add the backend.
For most projects, PixelFree Studio will be sufficient tho and we are constantly expanding our capabilities.
One advantage we have to Webflow is that we provide you with native code for multiple languages.
Hello fellow Hunters!
As CEO and Co-Founder, I am absolutely thrilled to share PixelFree Studio with you! ☕
Did you ever feel like "there has to be a way to simplify the creation of ANY front-end"? As a serial entrepreneur I sure did.
I tried to help my teams by giving them (AI) tools, just to realize that the code
🙅♂️ wouldn't be human-readable
⚡could entirely change once we wanted to make small adjustments or
😖 wasn't even as accurate as we'd expect -
⏰💣ending up in a net loss of time and nerves.
That's exactly why we built PixelFree Studio!
We're combining Design and Development: create your design with our powerful design prototyper and generate the code with just one simple click! Design 👉 Export 👉 Deploy - it can be that easy!
Also, for all those Figma enthusiasts out there, don't worry ;) You can also just import your Figma projects, which is about 10x faster than similar solutions out there 🤯 Best part of it? After importing it once, we turn it into a PixelFree Studio project and after you can make any changes directly in our design prototyper!
Let me sum up some of our key features:
💻 Generate human-readable, native PRO-code in C# WebApp, C# DesktopApp, HTML, Angular, React and VUE - with many more to come! Since our software is language agnostic we can do this for all existing and future programming languages. But the best part is: Soon we will open our message board and YOU will be able to vote which programming language or feature we include next.
🌍 You can host whereever you like
🔐 We value your privacy, therefore you can save the generated code locally on your machine. We only send properties to our GCP server and not your graphics or content. This is unmatched in terms of privacy. OWN your frontend again!
💡 Create not just websites, but any complex front-end too
🖌️ Custom design your own modular elements to re-use in any project and create your own modular system (like Wix i.e.)
📣 Your feedback
We really appreciate any feedback you got for us as it will help us pave the way. What would you like to see us add next?
🎉 To celebrate our big launch we're offering a whopping -20% for life for a limited amount of early adopters- use Producthunt20.
@philippgeppert Congrats on the launch Phillipp. PixelFree Studio looks fantastic.
- Does it support reusable components? - Does it try to fit with our existing coding styles and standards?
@philippgeppert @jgani Thank you!
If you export to Vue, React or Angular, you can define as many reusable components as you like - we automatically set the variables for you to keep your code as neat as possible.
As we do not save or see any of your code as part of our privacy standards, we are not able to adjust it to personal coding styles yet. However, using PixelFree Studio, you can be sure that the generated code always fits the most up-to-date version of the desired programming language.
@philippgeppert Guys, you're doing great! Good luck today!
The video is just a bomb - positive mood for the whole day is ensured)
