wouldn't be surprised if this dude is bought out by Invision in the coming year or two.

#82Founder 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…
Seems like you’ e created the ultimate sketch plugin.
Re: Show HN: I trained a deep learning model to build sites for me
#83Since it is completely automated and the code is doing all the processing, why is the price so high and why is there even a charge is per artboard? Sketch is like 1/10th of that
The fact that operational costs are low doesn't mean that development costs can now be ignored.

#84Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
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.

#85Sorry 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 companies

You'll see a similar thing in branding and advertising. For all the new yorkers on here, have you all seen the consumer brand ads on the subway? Almost every brand looks the same.
I'm imagining it has to do with the way designers work. They generally have stakeholders moodboard (basically creating a pinterest board with inspiration from different brands), and then they create a similar "feeling".
As humans, we're kind of evolved to recognize patterns, so when we start seeing the same branding art direction it stands out to us and we may try to conflate some deeper meaning to it. But in reality, it's just a few brands that share the same branding art direction probably because some execs liked the way it looked and felt and asked their designers to do something similar.

This style of web design is super in at the moment. Not sure it has a specific name, but I believe the previous Intercom site started it. Possibly Wealthfront as well. A lot of companies seem to be using it to take more risks with their aesthetic, particularly Dropbox and Mailchimp.

#88Hey 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?

#89How many FTE engineers can this replace? Do you have a case study or whitepaper?
Our goal is not to replace engineers. Is to increase their productivity and give them more time to create awesome products.

Wow, nice work!
I used to work for Webydo on the part that translate the DB to static files, tons of work and the result was basically an "uneditable HTML blob".
I would really love to see the output zip file, any change you have something less complicated that goes responsive to show?
