(ok, not everyone ignores them. Like @huntercaron that uses his laptop at this zoom level)

I don’t think I would have learned how to code or design software without this UI? my first Framer prototype was over 10 years ago now, and I’ve been at Framer for most of the years since. You can draw a through-line from this UI to how I still approach all of my work today.
give me this and an LLM

we spent a lot of time doing versioned shareable modules by default in Framer, and this may be the only tool out there I've opened and felt like.... ooooo they really get it

i love looking at stuff our team is doing and thinking.... how in the world is that even possible?? they did that?? happens a lot here recently. v v nice work Tom & the rest of the team on this
Working on this was a super fun challenge! The whole thing works without a backend - we built a custom db where data/indexes are just static files on S3. Queries dynamically load data from these files as needed via range requests, so we only load the bare minimum of data needed.

It’s been 2 years since Framer became a web builder so i will finally admit that Origami actually rocks sorry
Replying to @bengold
The real answer is code, but Origami is probably the next best thing. Play if you’re specifically targeting iOS prototyping.

managing complexity with noodles will always be tricky, but for focused iOS interactions it’s hard to beat the responsive feel of an on device Origami prototype. It captured “playing” with animated values so well I imagine SwiftUI probably feels similar but i’m all web now
