How is that not considered creating derivative works? Would not touch this for anything beyond basic toys and never for anything commercial, no chance in hell. Edit: view source exists of course, and I think we’ve all copy pasted something from a source view out of convenience but something about copying entire components with styles and everything just feels wrong , and possibly legally grey depending on who you mig…

Your response tells me it is a game changer and is going to be useful for tons of developers.

I predict that they will create this for Angular, Vue, Svelte, etc.

This is really, really neat! I've just tried it with a few random apps and it works flawlessly. Loving where you're going with Aspect. It fits the ux/component dev persona much better than Pagedraw did, for example. What's your monetisation strategy?

Thanks! Since Aspect aims to solve the design-to-engineering handoff problem, I think we monetize on a per-seat basis for enterprise customers. Similar to Figma's pricing model actually.

Remember: others' work is theirs unless they license it to you.

Just because you technically can copy something doesn't mean you're allowed to make and distribute copies or derivatives. If you do this professionally, you'll get yourself or your employer sued, and/or your work pulled off the internet against your will.

You wouldn't steal a policeman's helmet, etc.

Depends on the country you live in. Not the whole globe is dominated by western laws :)

The whole globe? No. But the berne convention does have 179 signatory countries. It's not just "western".
