ResponsiveFramework VS Flutter

At Codelessly, we're building a design to code converter that converts Figma designs into working app and website code. For those that don't know, Figma is a popular design tool. In order to achieve our target goal of 99% conversion accuracy, we realized that we needed to recreate Figma and implement the Figma API spec. Therein lies the problem, recreating Figma requires building a canvas rendering framework.

Please share your thoughts and feedback in this thread and if you have a comment on the API, I'm reworking the API to be more flexible for v0.3.0 here https://github.com/Codelessly/ResponsiveFramework/issues/76

I wrote the Responsive Framework to simplify responsiveness for building websites and apps. We've built a few websites and webapps using the package so it's pretty well battle tested. The package should help you easily implement your own customizable responsiveness system.

We're really close, Alpha invites going out in a few months! https://codelessly.com

For the past 4 months, we've been building a custom layout engine from the ground up to support converting to Flutter and HTML. If you'd like an inside look, signup for the beta at https://codelessly.com

Have you tried this library for responsiveness? https://github.com/Codelessly/ResponsiveFramework

Figma to Code was a big success, this week it has passed 10k downloads. I got job offerings from every competitor and ended up accepting one of them, Codelessly, where we are building a visual editor for Flutter.

For building Flutter websites, I recommend taking a look at my Responsive Framework and website examples. It can help you get a good start.

Thanks - that link does not appear to be open access, anyways I don't think I've seen it. I'm familiar with Flutter at a high-level (Kevin Moore gave a great talk on it at Wasm I/O), and I think other than requiring users to work in Dart, it is probably one of the most powerful ways to do cross-platform UI today.

Worth noting that their original GPU backend was Skia, and now they are retooling around Flutter GPU (Impeller)[0], which is kind of designed similarly as an abstract rendering interface over platform-specific GPU APIs.

If you are considering Electron/React then I would suggest adding Flutter to your list of technologies to consider. It uses Dart (a language similar to C#) and has a lot going for it… relatively quick to get up to speed with, fantastic developer experience (e.g., hot reload, great IDE support, good development tools) and very strong cross-platform support: it generates native iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows and Linux executables. Check it out: https://flutter.dev/

You can find the React Native documentation here and Flutter Documentation here.

> There is actually a great issue thread on the Flutter GitHub that explains exactly why other solutions do not work correctly when compared to hooks [0]

Interesting. I assume you are referring to this comment in particular -> https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/51752#issuecomment... ?
