Hello there! If you stumbled upon this post, I hope you took something away by taking 5-10 reading this post. In making tech blogs, I not only aim to jot notes for myself but also for others to learn from my notes as well! With that being said, I am dedicating this blog to improving the workflow of teams by proposing a way to shorten the development life cycle. The web development life cycle consists of analysis, planning, design, development, testing, and maintenance/update. This process is hard to follow when programmers are faced with tight deadlines, heavy workloads, or limited resources. Thankfully, code can solve all these issues.
What is UXPin Merge?
UXPin Merge is a code-based design tool "that helps designers collaborate seamlessly with devs, build production-ready prototypes, and streamline design systems' scale and maintenance". In doing this, UXPin Merge bridges the gap between design and development by allowing users to use the same code for the entire UI development process. This makes it easier for designers to develop a prototype and they can copy code from the components. This saves a lot of time because developers won't have to go back and change the code whenever a visual change is being made. Ultimately, the tool boosts productivity and the quality of the final product.
How does it work?
UXPin Merge is a code-based design tool. Consistency between design and development is established because of how its UI components are backed with functional React code that is directly imported from the code repository. Drawn elements can also be styled with CSS. Designers can drag and drop them onto the design canvas and share the design with devs, allowing seamless collaboration.
Key Points:
- UI & UX Consistency
- Reduced rework and iterations
- Higher quality testing
- Faster product development
- Designing with code
