Our products are being used & loved by designers at Apple, Facebook, Google, MailChimp, Starbucks, Shopify, Amazon, Disney Netflix, Trip Advisor and a lot more.
Our goal at anima is to empower designers with powerful visual tools. Amongst our products you can find Auto-Layout for Sketch and Launchpad for Sketch.
Auto-Layout pioneered responsive design without coding, empowering designers to better express their ideas into live designs. Launchpad is the first Sketch to live website solution, that enables designers to pubish real websites without the need of coding or hiring developers.
With Timeline, we are aiming to allow designers to create beautiful animations with ease.
If you believe that given the right tools you can achieve much more, support this project and join the movement.

Rather than something you do at the end, Protowire aims to integrate interaction and animation into the design process without having to change your designs to suit the software.
Integrated into Sketch No need to export to a separate prototyping application - review the prototype instantly in Sketch or on a device.
UI Animations Just by moving layers around you can have overlays appear and disappear.
Screen Transitions Quickly create the flow of your app by linking up artboards from layers or hotspots.
Responsive Design Use Sketch’s resizing constraints and responsive artboard groups to make prototypes that work on any screen size.

This guide aims to give a practical overview of how you can use SVGs on your websites — with some tips and tricks along the way to get the most out of them.
I am very excited for what the new year will bring us! So much happened in 2017 in the UX/UI Design and Prototyping space!
Here are some of the things you should check out in case you missed them. A big one for me was the evolution of symbols in Sketch and design systems as well as collaboration among team members, and easier handoffs and if you work with React, lots of exciting things there too.
This Sketch app workshop is customizable for any team or group either new to Sketch or that is ready to master it and take collaboration workflows to the next level and be more productive.

The plugin changes the way Sketch renders layers on runtime, and since SketchTool does not load plugins, it just renders layers how Sketch itself would do if AutoLayout wasn't installed.
There's a workaround in AutoLayout (find the 'Prepare for Export' menu option) that basically flattens the render and copies the content to a new document.
Unless you've been under a rock 🤣 you probably have already seen the video. Very exciting, especially the ability to design and do better prototyping within InVision. In InVision's words "The world’s most powerful screen design tool. Rapid prototyping, animation, built-in design systems, and collaboration—all in one place." Coming Jan 2018.

Working in Sketch, Figma or Photoshop? Framer offers a fully integrated import workflow, so you can go back and forth as many times as you need. Currently, you can only import a design into Code to start animation.
Atomic currently supports three types of form elements: text inputs, text areas and dropdown menus. Form elements let you capture input from users, and can be linked to variables in order to achieve form validation and other complex manipulation using script expressions. Form elements can also be animated, the same way other elements are animated.
