| Hello, I work at Airbnb and helped Jon with this project a bit. A lot of people when they first learn about this project have a hard time understanding how it would be useful - so you're not alone! I tweeted ([0]) about this briefly and thought I'd copy here for the benefit of readers in this thread: > the wild thing about react-sketchapp is that we can now bootstrap designs with the actual code that powers the product we are designing > it took me a little while to realize the paradigm shift. we normally think of the code / implementation as the end of the process > this allows us to use production code not only for our production clients, but also for starting the next iteration > react being decoupled from the underlying UI implementation unlocks a lot of possibilities. this is just one. > we are starting to view our react components for our design language as not just an implementation, but as the specification itself [0]: https://twitter.com/intelligibabble/status/856941689029640192

This is exactly what I'm doing with Semantic UI React. I'm prototyping in React, and building my own visual language on top of the visual language of Semantic UI. I see how I could instead render my components to Sketch instead (if a really great Sketch file with all the Semantic UI components existed).
Thanks!!!
