I’m making Bezier, a mac-native vector design app as an alternative to Figma and Sketch.

Unlike those apps it has full support for design tokens and (so far) flexbox layouts. It can also export directly to HTML, rather than a fake preview mode. I’m also working on full code-backed components, so you can go between code and design very easily.

As a designer, I’ve been frustrated for years by the gap between design and code, and despite all the new AI features, Figma still hasn’t got any further in years - design tokens need a 3rd party plugin and responsive designs are a pain in the bum. So I decided to build something that has the ease of Figma while being much closer to live code.

I’ve got to the point where I’m designing the app in itself, tokens are working, html export is working and nearly ready for first betas.
