Masks are available: https://www.drama.app/documentation/inspector#opacity-and-ma...

Components are coming in future updates.

It supports rotating layers in 3D space, so you can draw things like this: https://player.vimeo.com/video/350311600?background=1#t=0s

It has a very fine-grained transition editor, allowing you to precisely control the animation of individual attributes of individual layers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLxEW8Fzn3xvw3eZX7oH8RcMz...

It can be used to create timeline-based animations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyOvkWLQ7qw

It has Drivers, allowing you to define how some layers should change when attributes of other layers change: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDszsz-CG00

And finally, it has built-in version control system with real-time access to entire document history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW4h-v6vaOE

Re:Simpsons in CSS on Monday November 11, 2013 @08:39AM (#6711490)
We make a drawing app called WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com/) which can import SVG and PSD files and export CSS+HTML or JavaScript+Canvas code. Of course, converting SVG files to CSS is not something you'd generally use it for, but it can be done :-)
Macaw looks great for generating the CSS and HTML code.

For JavaScript Canvas or SVG code, we make a tool called WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com).

WebCode is a vector drawing app that instantly generates code.

Schwartz looks very nice and polished!

We make the exact "reverse" app - PaintCode, which is a drawing app that instantly generates Quartz 2D code (http://www.paintcodeapp.com/).

Did you try WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com/)? It is a vector drawing app for Mac that instantly generates nice, clean and readable SVG code. You can also choose to generate HTML/CSS and JavaScript/Canvas code from your drawings.
Re:Getting Started With HTML5 Game Development on Tuesday September 03, 2013 @05:27AM (#6319921)
We've made WebCode to make HTML5 game development in Canvas a bit easier. It is a vector drawing app that instantly generates JavaScript Canvas code, so you don't have to write it by hand.

We even have a little HTML5 game drawn entirely using JavaScript on our website: http://www.webcodeapp.com/

Re:Animated line drawing using SVG on Monday July 29, 2013 @01:30PM (#6122535)
Writing drawing code like this by hand is really tedious and even though a lot of vector drawing apps output SVG code, it is usually quite complicated and ugly.

Our drawing app WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com) instantly generates nice and readable SVG code from your drawings. It also outputs JavaScript HTML5 Canvas code and HTML+CSS code.
Re:Introduction to HTML5 Canvas on Thursday May 23, 2013 @01:15PM (#5758013)
See: http://www.webcodeapp.com/documentation/beziers#RotatingBezi...

Also, we'll make rotations much more useful in future updates.

Our app WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com) is a vector drawing app that instantly generates HTML5 Canvas code. No need to write all of it by hand :-)
Re:Starters Guide to iOS Design on Wednesday May 22, 2013 @04:05PM (#5753355)
Our app PaintCode can really help with pixel-perfect, Retina-ready graphics. It is a vector drawing app that instantly generates Objective-C code.

Our app WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com) helps with many of the hassles of making your website Retina ready. It is a vector drawing app that generates Retina ready CSS, JavaScript Canvas and SVG code.
Re:The Future of Adobe Fireworks on Monday May 06, 2013 @05:06PM (#5664785)
Technically, this is entirely possible. We have developer builds which support both kinds of code generators in a single app. We're still considering this.
Re:The Future of Adobe Fireworks on Monday May 06, 2013 @04:18PM (#5664515)
We just launched WebCode about a month ago (been selling http://www.paintcodeapp.com/ for more than a year). The two apps obviously share a lot of internals. We decided to make WebCode a separate app because it has an entirely different target audience.
Re:Adobe is going to kill Fireworks on Monday May 06, 2013 @09:18AM (#5662158)
Have you tried PaintCode?
Re:Adobe is going to kill Fireworks on Monday May 06, 2013 @09:15AM (#5662134)
Our new vector drawing app, WebCode, is a nice replacement for Fireworks: http://www.webcodeapp.com/

It generates CSS, JavaScript+Canvas and SVG code from your drawings in real time and can also import PSD documents.

The generated code works great on both Retina and non-Retina displays. You can even preview how your drawings would look on Retina displays directly in WebCode. It inherited a lot of things from PaintCode (our app for Mac and iOS developers), which makes it very nice for user interface design.

Re:Animated Vector Icons on Friday May 03, 2013 @03:40PM (#5652193)
There are only 2 text links on the title page that result in download - both links are labeled "Try" and download the demo version. Do you have these in mind?
Re:Animated Vector Icons on Friday May 03, 2013 @02:22PM (#5651689)
Our app WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com) makes creating Canvas-based graphics like these much easier. It is a vector drawing app that instantly generates JavaScript Canvas code.
Here's how it works: when you upload an SVG file, we convert it automatically to Objective-C or C# MonoTouch code. Then, we draw a preview image with the generated code. If you like the result, you can choose to buy the code. Since we've just launched CodeAutomat, the service is free for a limited time.

CodeAutomat is powered by PaintCode, our full-featured vector drawing app that generates code.
