Show HN: Subform, a UI layout tool
Hi HN, author here (along with RyLuke).<p>We launched Subform on Kickstarter in 2016, but are just now opening up our beta to the public.<p>Subform's focus is on layout. Dynamic layout systems are pretty functionally complex, but creating them is more of a visual process that really benefits from direct-manipulation and a tight feedback loop. (Rather than the endless tweak-reload/recompile-tweak-reload/recompile cycle)<p>We started with flexbox, but ended up designing our own layout system, which is both simpler and more expressive.<p>For HN folks who like thinking about conceptual design: <a href="https://medium.com/subform/why-not-flexbox-ddbe60396163" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/subform/why-not-flexbox-ddbe60396163</a><p>Or if you just want to check out the layout system in code, there's a WebAssembly build: <a href="https://github.com/lynaghk/subform-layout" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/lynaghk/subform-layout</a><p>Beyond the layout semantics, we've also spent quite a bit of time on the user experience for adjusting layout and hierarchy in the app: <a href="https://medium.com/subform/dynamic-layout-at-design-time-91d3bbda64e3" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/subform/dynamic-layout-at-design-time-91d...</a>
