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?
Without going into detail, our model outputs the coordinates of the html elements it recognize. We are taking a visual approach to the problem.

#112Founder 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…
If you do share I'm happy to give you feedback here if I have any!

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…

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.
Have you worked with clients? If you have a good producer/leader yes you can get a lot done. But many times this just happens as A. Client approves design B. You build the Beta of the website and launch it for testing with client C. Client shows wife/boss/friend who says “I think we should change this” End result: you end up having to redo the website. This tool helps get that Beta up even if just for the client to t…
The benefit of automating the production of code is useful, and plenty of people would want that, but targeting the messaging at developers isn't going to work. I would have thought selling this tool to people who employ developers as a way to reduce the number of people they need is a far better route to market.
