Yo founder returns with design-to-code startup Anima –
Summary
Without funding, the bootstrapped startup’s products have quietly amassed 100,000 users, and several thousand paying customers Today, Anima is announcing it’s been admitted to Y Combinator’s prestigious accelerator. “As it turns out, communicating design specs in the form of mock-ups, GIFs and even hand-waving leads to details getting lost in translation,” Arbel tells me. And building an entire startup on top of Sketch could be risky, as decisions that impact Anima’s products are beyond its control. And he believes that in “the component-based movement led by React, there is a unique opportunity to use this technology to make this process a hundred times better.” Some potential clients might not have total faith in a design tool from the inventor of Yo. “The most expensive resource in tech is engineers’ time,” Arbel concludes, claiming that, “We shorten a process that takes two weeks to a click of a button.”
