pxCode is a free Responsive Web Design development tool. By importing Sketch and Figma design files, you can edit with complete control, and obtain various auto-generated code including HTML, CSS, React & React Native for further use.
In Front-end development, works are generally separated into two parts —— Designer & Engineer. In normal cases, designer is responsible for creating the visual part of the design, engineer is the one who makes all the design alive and usable. Both sometimes work individually, and handoff steps are required in between to get the project done.
