I absolutely love this idea, I’ve been looking for an app just like this where I can design apps in a GUI setting and have them exported and this looks like it has what I want. I can’t wait to see it in action!

Good!

Hi Colm and Stephen, will I be able to create and manage my own design system from which the components inherit the styling etc? I notice from your videos that you have some styling based on 5px increments. The design system I’m working on is based on 8px. This may sounds like a silly question but I’m really keen to be able to access the separation of concerns. FYI, I’m a designer more than a front-end dev (my dev chops are simply too slow for enterprise environment). Also, will there be support for typographic rhythm and scale settings? And how that might change between viewport widths?
@sblakeborough Hey Steve,
The idea is that you will have a theme tab, where your style variables will be housed. There will be variables for typefaces, type scale, space scale, responsive breakpoints, corner radus, shadows, color etc.
These variables will be available as style properties, when you're styling your components. Update a variable in the theme and it will update across your whole product.
You will have control over your space scale. You can set a base unit (5dp, 8dp etc.), then choose which values you want from that scale.

@colmtuite You're talking my language. Can't wait to get using it. Thanks!

Awesome that it has the best parts of the basket of the better modern builders and editors. But really, you had me at React.

This looks a lot like PageDraw.io, except PageDraw is a lot more mature. Am I wrong? If there is something I'm missing I would love to know.
@armaan_gupta Last time I checked, PageDraw were attempting to take static mockups from Sketch/Figma and generate production-ready React/Angular code from them. Not sure it that's still their goal.
Modulz is not trying that at all. With Modulz, you design interactive components within the app. There are no vectors or mockups involved.

Hey guys, Modulz looks very exciting! Especially because I work with Webflow a lot.
Do you have any plans of adding advanced interactions like in Webflow? Or is the use case mostly for designers to hand off react components to developers? I really don't like how Webflow handles classes, it's very hard to build component based designs that actually make sense.
