we have a new tool that we're trying internally to design cross-platform components - https://github.com/airbnb/Lona

pretty early still, but the idea is that short-term it generates assets that fit into our existing Figma / Sketch product design workflows for consumption. having a cross-platform source of truth for _components_ is higher impact than outputting their _consumption_. this was mostly the reason we first did the things we wrote about here - they laid the groundwork for Lona and a more component-centric design process. https://airbnb.design/painting-with-code/ https://airbnb.design/sketching-interfaces/ https://airbnb.design/the-evolution-of-tools/

Thanks very much. I'll take a look at Lona.

A couple of days after I posted that I started thinking about whether it would be possible to develop a sketch plugin to render react components onto artboards, then I googled my way into your react-sketchapp and a talk you delivered at ZEIT. You guys are doing some really cool and useful work. Thanks!
