It would help if there were examples of input and output—images of Sketch files and HTML pages that were generated (without manual fixes, if that's an option in your offers).

#72Excuse my pessimism in this sea of optimism, but I see a .sketch-> vue.js converter which has proprietary elements of DL which later on gets checked with manual work anyway.
Where's the building of websites? What's the difference between this solution and something which simply converts .sketch into html with far simpler methods?

#73Surprised it’s Vue and not React. Vue is great, but there’s a lot of activity in the Sketch React space, for example AirBnb’s Lona [0]. This could fit in nicely. [0] https://github.com/airbnb/Lona
It would make sense since react does the jsx thing and Vue uses straight html inside of the template tags.

Hey, why not give something for people to try. I know[1] it takes (GPU) resources and may give it a hug of death but its much better to let at least some people try it out and give this a feedback while its hot. People may lose interest later on, who knows. 1. Something I made and let people use but nobody uses: https://comic2gif.com
You may want to have an example comic gif on the homepage. I didn't really understand what it did until I tried it. Plus, it would be neat if panels with more text were visible longer.

There is one. If you click on "show today's" button. But I guess default should be changed to show instead of hidden.

There is some logic in code to do that, amount of white pixels (in mask) is proportional to the time it appears. But maybe it needs tweaking.

#75How many FTE engineers can this replace? Do you have a case study or whitepaper?

Lona is After Effects -> web / native. You might be thinking about react-sketchapp[1] or SharpieClassifier [2] (I built both :P) [1] https://airbnb.design/painting-with-code/ [2] https://airbnb.design/sketching-interfaces/
I thought Lottie was the After Effects to code plugin. Happy to be wrong though.
Anyway, it’s a pleasure to meet you - I’ve been impressed with both your projects and following them for a while now. Love to talk more about them.

#77A solution for a problem that's not really a problem... Garbage in garbage out. As for the automation piece, surely a bunch of if/else will do. Not exactly rocket science

It takes time, lots of meetings and boring back and forth questions. I want to change that. So I tried to automate this process. The reason for all the meetings and questions is that the designs you're working from are ambiguous, and you don't really have enough information to turn the design files in to working code. I can't quite see how a deep learning model solves that problem. By the sounds of it you've automate…
Depending on the customer, that could still be helpful. I've worked with people where you can ask them very specific questions over and over and get nowhere - the only way they're capable of moving forward is if you give them something you know is wrong so they can look at it and say "No, it needs to X." It's annoying to do, but if you can automate producing the initially wrong product for review it'd be easier.
Cunningham's Law is one of the truest design patterns in all of mankind.

#79I'm honestly kind of surprised nothing like this has found its way into Sketch itself yet. Looks cool so far.
I also always thought this is a natural thing for Sketch to have it. Webflow gives similar experience of Sketch but to build web pages.

#80Founder here. As a front end developer, I turn design files into front-end code regularly. But it's a repetitive and demotivating task. It takes time, lots of meetings and boring back and forth questions. I want to change that. So I tried to automate this process. I trained a deep learning (DL) model to visually understand what elements are in a webpage (e.g. input, button, nav, etc) and build the front-end boiler pl…
