Show HN: Turn Photoshop styles into CSS3 in the browser
- daok 14y agoI would have prefer to see an example or a demo before having to signup.
- suren 14y agoHey daok, there is a sample design as soon as you sign up for the free account! And you can upload two more before opting to upgrade!
- jlukecarlson 14y agoI agree, I would rather not have to commit to the product by signing up before knowing exactly what it does
- suren 14y agoHave fixed it scrappily for now! Hope thats alright!
- suren 14y agoHey daok, sorry I didn't understand your request right the first time. I have uploaded a screenshot along with better explanation of what the product does!
- madisp 14y agoIsn't the screenshot bootstrap? Or you have cloned bootstrap styles in .psd?
- nspeller 14y agoCool product. However, I really had no idea what this product did from the landing page. Had to create an account, and wait for a psd to process. Then I had to click around before actually understanding what was going on. Most people aren't going to get that far before they leave and you don't want to lose that audience. The line "if you're a web developer you no longer need photoshop" was confusing. Because I read this as "another web-based photoshop alternative". And for some reason I couldn't figure out what you meant by Photoshop styles (maybe just me). I think I'd personally describe your product as 1. Upload a PSD, 2. Download the CSS, thats it. Maybe a landing page more like: http://jade-lang.com/ http://jade-lang.com/ Hope that helps.
- suren 14y agoHey nspeller, thanks very much for the feedback! Added a scrappy version to the page. Must be there in a couple of minutes or so!
- jordanlev 14y agoIf you didn't know what the product is just by reading the site, you might not be the target market. Converting PSD's to markup is the bane of many designers' existence, and I think most of them would know immediately what this is for. (I'm not a designer, but work with them all the time on sites that would benefit from this, and fwiw it was immediately apparent to me).
- omarchowdhury 14y agoIs it perfect?
- suren 14y agoShould work for almost all PSD's and layer effects. We have worked extensively on making it work for layer effects. There could be few rough edges when there is a something we didn't encounter.
- benmanns 14y agoI signed up. This is something I've wanted to find/build for awhile. My two feature requests would be: 1. A way to toggle between visible layers and layer groups. My designs usually come in a single PSD with a "Home" group, "About" group, "Contact" group, etc. 2. For the download all images to include all text and image assets (hidden and visible), perhaps in the same group/folder hierarchy as the original PSD. I was talking to Suren on Olark and he was very responsive, but ended up losing the chat when I navigated to the purchase page!
- joezhou 14y agowow, you know you are killing tens of thousands of designers right? HOW DO U SLEEP AT NIGHT?? Good Job Btw
- omarchowdhury 14y agoDesigns don't make themselves.
