Reviewer scorecard
“I build client landing pages in 20 minutes now. The AI generates a beautiful starting point and the visual editor lets me perfect every detail. Clients can't tell it's AI-built.”
“Drawing a rough wireframe and getting working React code is magical. It is not pixel-perfect but it gets the structure right. Perfect for rapid prototyping sessions with clients.”
“The CMS integration and component system are well-designed. For marketing sites and portfolios, Framer is the fastest path from idea to deployed site.”
“The open-source canvas library is excellent for building custom drawing tools. The AI sketch-to-code is a nice bonus but the core library is the real value.”
“Limitations show up when you need custom functionality beyond what's built in. But for 90% of websites — marketing, portfolio, blog — it's better and faster than coding from scratch.”
“Sketch-to-code is the natural interface for design. No more translating mental models through Figma to code. Draw it, ship it. This is where UI development is heading.”
