Pixate - Themeable, scalable, beautiful buttons for iOS

In plain words

Pixate was an iOS development tool that provided themeable, scalable buttons for mobile app creation. Designed for developers and designers building iOS applications, it aimed to streamline the prototyping process. The product was acquired by Google in 2015 but was discontinued on October 31, 2016, as the company shifted focus toward broader product design and development goals beyond the framework's original scope.

From the sources

When we launched Pixate, our mission was to change the way mobile apps were prototyped. We joined Google just over a year ago to continue our mission, and to pursue a broader vision of changing the way products were designed and built. While a lot of the ideas we’ve been developing could work inside the Pixate framework, we believe we can have a larger impact if we move beyond its scope. To allow us to focus on our broader vision, we are saying goodbye to Pixate. Pixate was shut down on October 31, 2016.
