Supernova takes mobile designs created in Sketch and transforms them into production interface code for iOS, Android, React Native and Flutter. Supporting native components, native animations, native layouts, navigation, localizations and many more features.
@ezraa yeah, 87% market share of all Operating Systems.. which is over 8 x greater than Mac OS. But hey feel free to drop me a message in a couple of years when your
MacBook gets a touchscreen ! https://netmarketshare.com/opera...
@brunocrosier We certainly understand this, but with Supernova we took native approach because of the overall complexity of the software. We might port it to Windows at some point, but that's whole other challenge.
@brunocrosier We've been considering this a lot, believe me. As @artufimtcev already pointed out, it is matter of performance as well as other things not mentioned, most importantly the sheer amount of work needed to support two platforms - it is only 3 core programmers after all that built this in a span of 4 years :) That being said - we realize the potential and are looking into ways how to do it efficiently. Hope it helps!
Hello Hunters and Huntresses!
I am Jiri, CEO of Supernova, the first design/development platform that truly focuses on clean conversion of mobile designs into the production-ready code.
Today, we are releasing Archon, our bleeding-edge tech that we've been working on for several months. First, let me be honest with you - creating a working code conversion is hard, like really hard. Not only the code needs to be perfect so developers even consider using it, but the ideal conversion platform also needs to handle pretty much every unique design, be customizable, robust enough to handle large projects and more.
Archon is a culmination of our efforts to help developers to make their work more efficiently, and to help designers to own a bigger part of the process (ideally, the entire interface creation). The old Supernova had several issues, the most severe being that the designs from Sketch didn't import properly most of the times. We have created a system that can take pretty much every design out there and present it properly for you to then continue adding animations, making navigation maps and using many more features Supernova provides.
Specifically, the new engine we've created adds the following:
- (nearly) Flawless Sketch import
- Our own rendering engine, making the rendering about 50 times faster
- Much much faster import
- Synchronization of design changes in Sketch
- Support for all the missing Sketch features, such as overrides, styles and more
- Almost twice as many configurable properties for each native component
All those changes make Supernova much more pleasant to use and result in vastly better quality of the generated code. We are also adding support for a new export platform - Flutter, joining the already existing ones - iOS, Android and React Native, and supporting a full range of features that Supernova has to offer.
We hope you'll love those new updates. If you want to learn more, just hop over to our blog where we go into details of each feature: https://medium.com/@appsupernova...
Thank you and AMA!

I created an overview video about my experience with Supernova Studio if anyone wants to learn more about it: https://youtu.be/LbvroonWtqo
There is still so much about this product to explore and try. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
They made animations super easy and fun to do. I hear they will be expanding the animation studio in the next couple versions. Really looking forward to this!
Supernova is also a great training tool when it comes to development as you can see all the code needed to produce awesome UI.
Pros:
I love being able to take anyone's Sketch UI Kit and see how to do that UI in code. I also love creating animations within it.
Cons:
Importing from Adobe XD would also be awesome. But I hear that is coming out soon.

It is saving me months of work in a complex product, letting me iterate and adapt designs. I'm focused on iOS at present but the Kotlin generation looks good enough I'll be using it soon!
Pros:
Generates fairly clean, smart Swift code and iOS UI. Great animation & hi-fi prototyping inc localised code.
Guys, Supernova is a game changer. I started using them when they were in early beta. As a designer with no iOS/android development background. It turned my Sketch designs to production ready code. Super convenient and reduces hours of dev work for anyone. As the company grows, I can only see this product changing the design to code landscape forever.
@marius_chawa Really appreciate the kind words. We are only at the beginning, but as we add even more automation, it will hopefully save so much more - be it for developers or designers.
I've been using it for a few months now. Ever since they announced Flutter support, I've had some true extra prejudice and passion towards it! Super excited to see it's future 😁
I wish you would synchronize with figma also :)
@aviggiano@_kentrobinson Good news as well. We'll definitely go to website space - but only after we truly nail the mobile stuff. Our system is actually prepared to do this, but we need to focus :) We are a small team, currently just 3 developers for the studio itself :)

Does this export to Flutter? I see it in the title but no where in the website.
@brucevang@filip_salamon Sorry we have been working our hardest on the product, website is still lacking the updates. I'll be adding that today. Thanks for reminding me and adding to my never-ending list of things :D #startup
Nonetheless, Flutter is now fully supported :)

@filip_salamon@jirka_trecak This is great. I'm downloading it now to check it out. EDIT: I just went from design to Flutter app in 5 minutes. This is like black magic. I'm definitely recommending this tool.
