Hey john. Congrats on this, this is very interesting. From someone interested in ML/AI, can you explain just a bit more how the deep learning works?

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.
Wouldn't you achieve the same feedback with minimal dev effort by simply modifying the sketch files with the client until they are signed off on it, which is what designers would be doing before discussing the technical feasibility/performance tradeoffs with devs for implementation? Assuming you are working with a designer that is creating sketch files.
End result: you end up having to redo the website. This tool helps get that Beta up even if just for the client to try it and show his friends/wife/boss

Another question about the design of the page: Does this kind of conversational / persona based pitch actually work to convert users? E.G. "Hi I'm Clara, my life's goal is... I struggle with..." "If you relate with Clara, try X now..." At least for me the net emotional effect of the "For Desigers & Developers" section of the homepage was a strong impulse to bounce. (I'm in the target market.) Ultimately for the sake…
Great feedback! I guess we just need to find our best target market. We believe the decision makers will be managers and not technical people (engineers that relate more with the product page instead of the emotional illustrations). But I could be wrong...
I'm working on a product in a similar space, and struggling with the question for our own marketing materials. Amy Hoy's material [1] on audience "worldviews" has been helpful so far. (No personal affiliation.)
Best of luck with your launch!
Sorry to be a bit meta here-- but a question about the design of the site. This style of pastel colors, wavy svg graphics, and happy avatars seems super popular right now [1] [2] [3]. I'm curious if it has a name and where it originated from (if anywhere?) Overall I like the aesthetic quite a bit, but it's such a distinctive look. I'm surprised I keep seeing it crop up nearly copy+pasted between all of these companie…

Hi. I would like to have an option of using just the automated part of the service and do the developer part myself. If hypothetically you would include that option, how cheaper do you think it wold be compared to the current price ? Also one more option: convert design to just HTML and CSS, without javascript or framework of any kind. Would that make sense ?
Interesting feedback. Our main goal is to ditch the human verification, we want to be confident enough to provide great code automatically. Not there yet. Regarding the output, it's great to know your thoughts on the frameworks. We actually went for a framework to make it simple for our users. In the future we want to allow our users to chose what output they want. So, it makes total sense.

It would be interesting to see the quality of the code. Way back in the 90s Macromedia had a product called Fireworks, which Adobe subsequently bought (along with Flash, Dreamweaver etc.). It could turn designs into HTML+CSS but the code was horrible and no-one used it professionally. I know we are decades past that, and the machine learning algos may do a better job but without seeing some code examples it has limit…
Thanks so much for your words. Happy to share our demo code, would love your feedback. If you think it makes sense, drop me a line at john [@] zecoda.com
From my perspective, one of the difficulties I’d have is that we already have a pretty extensive Vue application, but we _still_ have problems with translating updates in place. So, we’d want to be able to compare one of the screens we have with one of the screens generated (and our designers tend to create multiple Sketches to illustrate different state possibilities).
The next question would be how updates might be flagged to minimize code churn after initial generation.
And I can't get past the fact that it becomes a responsive site, is the logic in the responsive design in the Sketch file too?
