Ditto for Developers - Sync the latest copy edits from design to development

Hey PH! :) Last year, @jo_m and I launched Ditto , a tool for teams to collaborate on and componentize their copy. Today we're launching our developer integrations, which allow developers to fetch the latest text from Ditto projects — like a headless CMS but with the text from your design files! ⚡️ Jo and I have been on teams at both small startups and tech giants, and at every place we've seen product copy being written ad-hoc and scattered across mockups, docs, sheets, and tickets. The back and forth required just to fix a simple typo in production often included a backlogged ticket, several Slack conversations, and a ton of wasted engineering time better spent on building. 🤯 How does it work? With our new developer integrations, you can manage your product copy with a single source of truth — from design all the way to production. 1. Use Ditto to organize, edit, and structure text from Figma files. Ditto also keeps track of any edits to text taking place in the Figma file itself. 2. Use our API/CLI to pull down the latest text from Ditto. 3. Text in development automatically gets updated with the latest changes in Figma files! 🛠 We built our developer integrations to: 1. Eliminate the copy and paste — rather than the constant, error-prone copying and pasting from external sources, Ditto serves as your single source of truth for product text 2. Allow design and development to evolve in parallel — build while copy is still being edited and automatically update development with any changes 3. Delegate writing/editing to non-engineers — rather than wasting time on tickets for copy edits and typo fixes, copy changes made in mockups will get updated in production 4. Automate copy workflows — pull the latest text on build or deploy, and locally store all of your own product copy 🤑 We're also offering a deal exclusive to the Product Hunt community — 3 months free with unlimited seats, projects, and strings. For the deal, enter the code PH2021API at this link!

I love this product!!! It's easy to integrate into existing workflows and it allows non-techy team members and legal counsel (highly prevalent at a health tech company) to painlessly review copy and provide essential feedback. I can't wait to introduce it to my dev team!

This looks awesome, something we definitely need at Explo. What are some upcoming features on your roadmap for your developer integrations?

Awesome to see Ditto improve over time and add more features. Keep up the great work!

Congrats on the launch! This is super exciting new functionality which I haven't seen from any other tools in the market. Not needing to spend as much engineering effort to update copy is going to save us a ton of time :)

Congrats on the launch & progress! Can definitely see myself integrating this into a no-code workflow with webflow whenever you support that. Any chance you guys are thinking about syncing images and other assets along with text?

Love how easy this is to use! Can already see the world where production-level copy is updated on the fly.

congrats ditto! incredible to watch all of the progress @jo_m and @ouyangatang

Very useful tool! Thanks for sharing

So awesome congrats @ouyangatang !!!
