Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've been enjoying using Figma. I definitely wouldn't mind a non-Electron based app of it.

Of Figma? There is the web version of it which is the same as the desktop app. Or did I misunderstand?

Somehow I’ve missed they had desktop versions. I thought it was web only.

This: basically another Sketch. Currently the only "modern tool" that works cross platform is Figma.

Also Adobe XD. I know people give Adobe crap for coming to the party late, but the new tool is quite good with prototyping and web sharing built in, plus they launched freemium model. Framer is great for more advanced prototyping needs w/ animations/transitions/etc, but the XD is pretty good and fast for many needs, and it's Mac + PC.

Well, you've also got Affinity Designer, which is quite good if you prefer a desktop app with no subscription fees (i.e. proper dekstop app and not an electron app).

Being able to jump back and forth between the design tools and code looks like a big andvantage for more complicated interactive components. Is that the main selling point? That you're able to compare and match visual design and code easier with this tool?
