PaintCode 2

The missing bridge between developers and graphic designers

PaintCode 2 launched on May 6, 2014 with 89 votes, #223 of 1,247 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 12 years on.

What it does

PaintCode is a unique vector drawing app that generates Objective-C or Swift code in real time, acting as a bridge between developers and graphic designers.

Avoid the @1x, @2x and @3x image resolution hell. Draw your user interface with resolution independent code generated by PaintCode. Use variables and expressions to control the color, position, rotation, visibility and other attributes of your shapes. All your PaintCode drawings are exported into a single code file called StyleKit. Re-export StyleKit at any time and see all the updated drawings right in your app. Will you let us inform you about PaintCode and new products?

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
