Hey all-- I'm one of Ditto's cofounders. Grateful for all of the support when we Launched on HN a bit ago. Happy to answer any questions if anyone has any!

Just wanted to follow up on this and mention that we've just rolled out our localization features. Ditto now handles variants (including languages, user segment-based text, and mor…

Although we do think we play an integral part in the product development process, if teams switched off Ditto, they wouldn't be any worse-off than they were before. The text would …

Thanks so much for the support -- we feel really lucky and excited to have been able to grow Ditto over the last year. :)

Right now, teams in Ditto use it as a translation/l10n solution if they already localize their mockups. However, we are hoping to support this more fully in the very near feature (…

That means a lot, especially because we handle all of the design (including the landing page) in-house. Thanks for the support!

We're actually launching a feature called Variants to tackle this very use case (and translations) in our app in the next few days! It's definitely been highly requested by teams u…

Hey Tejas, great to see you here on HN! Thanks for the support both then and now :)

Thank you for your support!

Definitely been there as an engineer as well. The amount of overhead and engineering time it takes to make punctuation changes, fix spelling errors, and even simple iterations to c…

Totally -- even beyond just spacing/fitting in content into the designs, the text in-app strongly informs what the user knows and understands, which is critical to the design itsel…

Wow, great catch with the Safari font issue; we've just fixed it. Thanks for finding that!

Thank you! - We released first released our web-app and Figma plugin around a year ago, right at the end of our YC batch (Jo and I went into YC pre-product). Our developer integrat…

Thank you! That means a ton. 1. We integrated with Figma first on the design side due to a couple of reasons: we were really excited about the growth on the platform, the community…

1. At the moment, we've seen teams use Ditto to localize if they already localize their mockups (i.e. have mockups in different languages). However, we're releasing the ability to …

Thank you for the support! It is kind of crazy how much copy-pasting there is for every single role involved. We think a large part of it has to do with the fact that copy exists a…

That's great to hear! We've definitely seen an increasing amount of teams separate product copy out into JSONs ("decoupling copy and code"), and we hope Ditto can help them manage …

Many localization services / Translation Management Systems (TMS) (like those listed) or developer tools (Lokalize, Phrase, etc.) tack on l10n as a layer at the very end (after dev…
