Between UI and front-end phase (xiang) love (HU) phase (zhe) kill (mo), presumably as the old Internet people are heard.

Example 1: The UI designs an effect, wants the front end to do it, and the front end tells you cruelly: Can’t do it!

Example 2: Soul torture from the front:

“What’s the spacing here? Why isn’t it marked?”

“How far apart are the pictures?”

“Why doesn’t the icon here have width and height?”

“What size does it need?”

…

(All the above are from real work scenes ~)

Although the above two examples are the main reasons for the “mutual dislike” between UI and front-end, the overlap between the two positions is too close, so WE still suggest that we can build a good relationship, after all, they can see each other.

Here’s a recipe for happy, productive teamwork: offer to help each other work less. In the workplace, everyone likes to save trouble, you can help each other save trouble, then he must be very happy, the relationship will slowly become better, right? That’s true, but it doesn’t make it easy for one party to do more work for the other, does it? !

Here, I recommend a super practical platform, team collaboration is its core function, the purpose is to let both sides save trouble. After all, less unnecessary communication and fewer arguments will make everyone feel better

Clunky clunky (music), today’s hero is about to make his debut, which is called “The one-stop cloud platform for design + collaboration — Copy Guest”!

Below with everybody Lao Lao, copy guest is how from the UI point of view, to help the front end to reduce the workload at the same time also do not increase their burden.

One key cut diagram, workload reduced more than a little

When asked what is the most tedious part of design delivery, I believe 99% of the answers are cut-outs. When the project enters the development stage, it is necessary to prepare the cuttings of different sizes for different platforms, so the UIs need to deliver N sets of cuttings. The most headache is that if there is a little modification, we have to go through the cutting process again!

So how does the copycat cut the graph with one key?

1. Fast platform switching

UI in the upload design draft, just to cut the location of the mark, you can cut together with the design draft delivery, no longer need to repeatedly package cut file sent to the front end.

After the front end enters the development mode, you can switch the platform (IOS/Android/Web) and select the rate to download the appropriate cut diagram in the right panel. This cutting diagram process for both sides, are quite easy, the key to reduce the frequency of mistakes!

2, download various formats cut map

Even if a different format is required, the front-end can download it online by itself. PNG, SVG, WebP, JPG, whatever you want, check the format to download.

3, fast download page cutting map

If you want to download the cut image of multiple pages at the same time, you can also do it quickly with one click. Select multiple pages in the artboard module, right-click and choose “Download cutout” to download all cutout images in multiple pages at the same time.

4, cut diagram compression

In addition, sheet after sheet of slice compression is more suffocating than slice compression. And in copy, just need to download before cutting map, check “enable cutting map compression” can be downloaded cutting map volume more than 50%, no longer need you find countless software compression cutting map, also do not worry about the front end of the fatal serial call!

The UI and the front end can eliminate a lot of unnecessary communication and get the job done efficiently with the one-click slice of the copycat. Automatic cutting map, one step in place, to create a happy, harmonious working environment and another step forward ~

Hand from one body, labeling super worry

There is still a big problem when UI and front end cooperate: the front end develops according to the annotation and cut diagram of UI, but because of not understanding the design draft thoroughly, the situation of “goods are not right” appears, so whether the ANNOTATION of UI is standard will directly affect the reduction degree of visual effect. After all, if the final interface is not good, the boss accountability down, the pot or by THE UI back!

The “automatic + manual” annotation method of Copy can fully mark details and help the front end to understand the design draft. In copycat, manual annotation corresponds to finalization mode, while automatic annotation corresponds to development mode. Finalization mode and development mode allow the UI and the front end to work together efficiently without interrupting each other, while still switching freely, and the two complement each other.

1. Manual labeling

UI can form a lightweight PRD document through manual annotation, such as text annotation, coordinate annotation, size annotation, color annotation, area annotation, etc., in the copyist, so as to more accurately convey the design specification to the front-end personnel.

2. Automatic labeling

You can view annotation information as required in the front end, or enable or disable manual annotation. Automatic annotation Supports free view of interval annotation, layer annotation, multiple selection annotation, and percentage annotation. The front end according to the need to view their own information, so that both sides worry!

In addition, it doesn’t matter if you can’t see the details clearly. Summon magnifying glass, fine annotation can also see clearly!

In addition, the front end can view the layer position, size, color, transparency, font, font size and other information. After selecting a layer, it can quickly reuse the layer style code and put it into use directly.

Automatic annotation one-click generation, manual annotation supplementary instructions, fast reuse layer code…… These functions can not only greatly liberate the hands of designers, but also help the front-end restore the effect of the design draft to the maximum extent!

After using copy guest, I believe you UI and the front end of the relationship must be able to ease a lot, no longer need to tear X every day, after all, a lot of work delivered by the platform to help complete, there will not be too many contradictions ah. Maybe we can sit together and meet a king

By the way, copy guest has a hundred team free cooperation policy, so many small teams can be used for free, can be said to be quite conscience!

Finally, It’s not just the UI and the front end. Product managers can also draw prototypes and write PRD documents on it. In short, It’s a one-stop cloud platform for design and collaboration

Poke here gather wool: design + collaboration, copy guest is enough!
