Re:Launch HN: Noya (YC W23) – a product design tool for non-... by fishtoaster on Thursday March 30, 2023 @04:43PM (#35378575)
This seems pretty cool! As a dev who is, for lack of design resources on my team, frequently asked to pretend to be a designer, this could very much come in handy!

That said, the real value to me would be using this tool to make medium-fidelity mockups that look like my existing site. It looks like maybe your templates would allow me to make mockups in Noya that match my existing colors/etc, but I'd be coupled to ChakraUI. If the pre-existing components from my pre-existing site don't match Chakra's components, it sounds like I'd be out of luck?

At the moment, yes, since our MVP is still pretty limited. We have a first draft of a protocol for integrating any components/theme into Noya that should support the use case you're describing. It still needs some more iteration though before we ship it!
