Most UI design tools are focused on drawing pictures of screens. That’s great for quickly exploring ideas, but it’s easy to overlook real-world production constraints in the process.

The thing is, designing and building aren’t really discrete tasks. They’re both fundamental parts of an integrated product development process.

Our goal with Subform is to make a visual tool that embraces this reality, rather than trying to dance around it.

Designing and implementing dynamic UI layouts is an acute pain for both designers and engineers, so that’s where we’ve started. Let us know what you think.

Dynamic layout is complex—and the basic “pinning” constraints in visual tools only go so far. That’s why Subform lets you create stacks and grids, specify percentages and fractional sizes, set aspect ratios, and size elements based on their children or available whitespace.
