Potential, but keeps crashing
Response from developer
Thank you for the review, very sorry this has been crashing on you :( Is there anything specific that would cause it to crash?
Love it

Thanks Travis! What would you like to see next from Judo?
Incredible tool for designers
Coming from a design background exclusively, I'd agonized over the handoff process - inevitably, stuff gets lost in translation. Now with Judo, I can take ownership over the polished front end, while developers can stay focused on safely abstracted functional code.
Judo isn't perfect, there are a couple quirks. Don't expect a Figma-like design experience that spits out code; you must design within the constraints of SwiftUI's functionality.
In the end, this tool is going to accelerate my firm's app shipping exponentially. Can't wait to see the product continue to improve. Judo is criminally underrated, and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in building beautiful SwiftUI apps.
stupid
Barebones
Honestly I'd recommend Xcode previews over this for designers.

Thank you for this honest, frank feedback. We don't disagree with your assessment of the current canvas experience in Judo. The Judo 2.0 release marks our first step in a transition from a server-driven UI platform to a SwiftUI design tool and we have more releases coming in the following months that get us closer to that vision. You can read about our product vision on our blog: https://www.judo.app/blog/introducing-judo/. To shed some light on our current roadmap, we're on the heels of a 3.0 release that brings support for form controls, state and bindings. Following that we have a major release that we're referring to internally as "A Figma-Like Experience". This release will bring huge improvements to the way the Judo canvas works that will make it feel much more natural to anyone with prior experience using Figma, Sketch or Photoshop. I hope you will consider joining our community to follow our progress. We'd love the chance to win you back as we progress on Judo's vision throughout the rest of 2023.
