I 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.

Agree 100%. All the names out there, and you chose the one of the industry standard for UI/UX design. For the uninformed, this would be like naming Expo Sketch "Photoshop" (at least in spirit) 5 years ago.

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.

Personally, I didn't understand how a chat app for software developers could in good conscience be called 'Slack'.
On your slack comment: I do understand it. Chatting is traditionally seen as not working. I'm thinking IRC times when I was young(er). Mostly social, not so much project related. It is more seen as the coffee break but online. The fact that both are often used to discuss business matter does not alter this. For me, Slack is well chosen, even though I use it mainly for work related communication nowadays.

We think the products are so different that people won't get confused but if it turns out to be a problem, we'll figure something out. Sketch the design tool is great. We use it.

How else would they do it? QR code seems justified in this case.
2. QR codes are scary (at least for most in the American market; other countries could be different). Instead of a QR code, show a random string the user has to input. We are all used to inputting random numbers/string when doing 2-factor.

#70Ah, so you have an app that links to the "fiddle" and downloads the RN JS bundle and runs it for you, instead of an emulator. Nice! I'm still trying to figure out whether it is possible to run RN directly in the browser using an interpreter instead of an emulator, along with something like emscripten (might have to run an emscripten-compiled JVM, too haha). Sounds really tricky, for one thing, any Android or iOS SDK…
