How complicated it would be to create a sketch plugin to import sketch file into bubble?

I actually have a developer looking at parsing Sketch right now, but not necessarily for Bubble.

Short answer: It’s quite complicated. The file format is readable, which is nice, but there’d be a lot of legwork making it something Bubble understands. Then there’s the issue of adding behaviors and styles and conditions and all those other fun things. Is it doable? Maybe, but at this point, I’m not sure it’s worth the effort or cost.

Thanks for the info @andrewgassen
For a typical UX workflow, it would make sense…Design in sketch then build in bubble.
Also, I imagine that it would bring so much new design templates (and designers) to Bubble…

Well I’m a UX. Issue for me is that I now don’t want to take on other people’s projects when I can build my own solutions in a fraction of the time. Sure there are compromises but being able to build live wire frames whilst setting up the data services bridges the technology gap and puts product designers in control. As the platform develops hopefully it’s ui aligns to sketch/axure/InVision.

Picking up axure/InVision now feels old school and very slow.

I’d love to see the UI’s aligned between bubble/sketch/invision/axure.

If Bubble could have a Sketch integration as good Invisions and utilize all the same interaction features axure, it’d be game over in my opinion.

I recently moved from Sketch to Figma. It’s got just about everything Sketch does, but is totally browser-based so it’ll work on Windows, Linux, etc. They recently opened up the Figma Platform API, and some companies are doing cool stuff with it. Look at Pagedraw and Supernova Studio for examples.

Pagedraw uses Sketch and Figma to generate React components. Supernova Studio does the same, but generates Swift, Java, and React Native code. It’s pretty sexy stuff.
