Here's a fun example of a pretty common UI pattern -- the header transitions into another as you scroll, and the hero image scales / fades depending on scroll position too: https://sketch.expo.io/SyVvB3Hjx -- it uses React Native's native animated driver with ScrollViews :)

My initial reaction was to associate this with Sketch App for Mac [1]. How do you plan to prevent confusion? [1] https://www.sketchapp.com/
We thought it was such a different product that people wouldn't be confused at all. But if it turns out to be a problem, we'll figure something out. Thanks for the feedback!
How will you know whether it's a problem?

#54Hi! I worked on this and am happy to answer any questions about it :)
Hey, so I tried it out and wanted to see how well it functions as a "stand alone" app - I closed the expo browser tab and loaded the demo from the Expo menu, but it wasn't loading. Does the browser window need to be open by design, or is it a bug? Also, is there a way for general expo apps to get their own launcher (on Android at least)? Great work by the way, this is really awesome.
The browser communicates with the device via PubNub to send the code. So it needs to be open when previewing the app. But being able to view it on the phone without the browser is useful. Thanks for the feedback.

#55I really don't understand how this product can be called Sketch in good conscience. Sketch is already a disruptive gorgeous product that has changed ux and digital design. It should be respected and given room to breathe. Change the name of your product.
What is the URL of the original product? Curious to see it.

If you click save and then re-scan the QR code, that url should work without the webpage open. Let me know if it doesn't work.

You cannot do that right now. There are a few libraries already bundled which you can use. But we are planning to work on adding this feature.
Or maybe if I create a custom component inside sketch, it would be nice if it's added as a template in the components toolbar.
That's a great idea! We need to add an accounts system before we can do that, but I'll add that to our list.

#59For anyone who does not understand why it always shows a QR code and a "Download from app store" buttons, there is a close button on top right corner to close that modal. Not sure it was a great idea to always show that modal, it took me a while to figure out that I can close it, I thought it's an ios app...
We show the QRCode because you need to scan it and open on the phone to be able to view it. Yeah, we will change the styles to make it more obvious that it's modal. Sorry for the confusion.
I actually lost interest and closed the tab when I saw the QR code.

#60We just deployed a change to make the modal overlay more transparent. Hopefully this will make it more obvious that there's an editor underneath the modal.
